cd/dvd combo

Question

i have a cd/dvd combo how can i copy an exact copy of a dvd?

Skybird · Answer

The term CD/DVD Combo means the drive can write to CDR and CDRW media and can read DVD media but is unable to write to DVD media.  Look inthe Device Manager for the Brand and Model of the drive and we willlink to the Users Guide to verify the drives capabilities.

The SAMSUNG SM-348 CD-RW/DVD ROM Drive is indeed a Combo drive.
It will read DVD media but cannot write to it. Users Guide

thank you for the information------what do i need to install on my system in order to make an exact copy of a dvd???

Skybird · Answer

To burn a DVD you will need a DVD Burner (DVD+-R/RW).
What kind of DVDs do you want to copy? If it is a
homemade DVD, then the standard software with the
DVD Burner or what you have now will do it. If you
are referring to commercial DVDs, they are copy-
protected and cannot be copied in the normal manner.

You never mentioned what you have installed on your system now.
Sonic RecordNow, ROXIO Easy Media Creator 7 and Nero 6 are all
authoring software that allows you to create and burn DVDs.
There help files should be able to walk you through it. If
you want to bring video into your computer (like from a camera)
a capturing device will be required. The following Web Site
will be helpful.
