If I use Windows Explorer and just copy the files to a folder on
my computer, how would I make a DVD that will play on a
DVD player?

I did copy one to a disk using Windows Explorer.
It plays on the computer, but not on the DVD player. The original
does play on it.

Thanks, CB

For that matter DVDs might be obsolete
in the not too distant future...but I still think
I would go with ImgBurn to create and burn
ISO files.

I think Graham Hughes offered you good
advice on copying DVDs.

Good point - I remember the 5 1/4 inch disks.

Is using a Roxio/Nero type program better than copying it by playing it
from a DVD player to a DVD recorder?

Thanks, CB

Hard to say what's better...if you can copy the
DVDs with your DVD Recorder...that's probably
just as good and easier (no computer required).

I have used Roxio all the time in making copies of my homemade DVDS & I
find that to be the easiest way of all.
