There is absolutely nothing in the way DVDA burns a DVD that would prevent it from being copied. Can they play the disc? Can they see the files on their computer? Any competent DVD burning program (e.g., Nero) should be able to make a copy.

Hey thanks for your reply, based on the tone of what you said I'll pursue their end a little more, they're selling the disc for $8 a crack and can't make copies for some reason, saying they've tried numerous applications. Much thanks again..

they've tried numerous applications.

Ask them specifically what apps they tried and what steps they took within them.

m1best, as a general rule if you can play the disc, the only thing that can really give any other PC drive a problem is if the drive you used for burning wasn't accurate -- think of the grooves on a record only shifted a bit to one side or the other. Happens, and programs like Nero Speed can measure it. Often reducing the burning speed can help.

Media can be bad as well -- you can read reports of discs going bad after a couple of days.

There have been reports of DVDA 4b having burning problems, though usually a pass or fail affair. Might try preparing your project to hard drive (where as a bonus it can be tested) & burning with Nero or ImgBurn.

If nothing else works, perhaps provide whomever's doing the burning with a disc image -- that way there's nothing much that can get screwed up.

Hey thanks for all your responses, very helpful. I'm not having a burn problem it's when the project is finished someone else is having trouble duplicating it, I need to find out exactly what they're doing.
