[Will it copy DVDs?]

Yes, there's a guide on how to copy a disc in the guides forum.

Do you mean:

Please forgive me for not reinventing the wheel here but as there's no 'Copy' mode within ImgBurn, it's actually a case of performing 2 separate operations - 'Read' and then 'Write' - both of which already have their own guides.

 

1. Follow the 'How to create an image file from a disc with ImgBurn' guide.

2. Follow the 'How to write an image file to a disc with ImgBurn' guide.

Come to think of it, as an image of a disc is a byte-by-byte copy, writing that to another DVD should make a perfect copy, itself readable.

[Will it copy DVDs?]

I make DVDs from UK TV broadcasts to send to my daughter in Germany. Having recorded in the usuall way several  broadcast TV programs on to its internal HDD, I can then select some of them and get it to copy them on to a physical DVD using its built-in DVD player/recordingdrive. That physical DVD is playable on any standalone DVD player and is the one I send to her..

 

Before I send it I make a backup copy of that physical DVD on to another DVD and store it.

 

Please note: by DVD I mean a standalone DVD with a Top Menu etc., like those bought in shops allowing Star Wars etc. to be viewed on a standalone DVD player. I DO NOT mean a disc image or something else which is saved by a computer as data on to a disc which is also called a DVD.

 

(Sorry to be pedantic but I have found problems from using the description "DVD".)

 

My question: Can imgburn make the "backup copy of that physical DVD on to another DVD" mentioned in the second para?

 

Thanks.

 

PS: If I get imgburn I will heed the warnings about not downloading adverts, unwanted stuff etc. along with the download.
