• Get error when MPEG copy files on a DVD

  trying to copy video MPEG files to external hard drive on a DVD, error message "Windows has encountered a problem, try to copy files," I used to be able to do that!

  Just to add to the answer of John.

  Mpegs dvd copying will result in MPEG to dvd as data disc.  They will play on a computer, but not in a dvd player and tv.

  You need create a dvd-video disc to make it playable on a dvd player.

  This will be one of the options that you get from the dvd you choose to use burning software.

• Copying files to a DVD disc

  Hi, I tried to copy/paste a XL (Office 2010 on Windows 7) file to a DVD disc. Without success. The 'Paste' option on the right button of the mouse was swept away.

  I tried also to drag the file on the disk, without success.

  Finally, I saved the file on the DVD drive, in which the virtual disk has been inserted, and it worked like a dream.

  DVD-RAM has been formatted in my computer for UDF 2.01.

  You'll appreciate suggestions how copy and paste or make drag a file on the DVD RAM disk.

  Thank you, Joseph.

  OK, J Guz,

  I've made a little progress: first method all no 1 and 2 that you suggested did not help. I did not apply the method 3, as I fear this will mess up program and security updates.

  What I found is that I can drag-and - drop or copy and paste a file, If it was previously recorded for example in 'MY documents'.

  As far as I'm concernrd, it is a reasonable solution.

  I could drag-and - drop or copy and paste files not saved on a DVD RAM drive in my computer XP Pro SP3 previous probably because I had a program InCD is installed as part of NERO burning program.

• Cannot copy files to CD or DVD + RW drive

  I tried several types of disc but am find me suddenly unable to write / copy files on a DVD or a CD. I use a HP with XP desktop computer. This problem started last night. When I put in a disk, it reads. I clicked on properties, then go to AutoPlay. I choose, for example, a content type - I'll click on say, mixed content, and ok. Everything I do or choose here, it will not save. I hit the Restore Defaults and it does nothing. In Windows Explorer, instead of inscription on the list DVD + RW and whateer in car, it displays an image of a disc with the date and the E drive.

  Any ideas on how I can fix this so I can copy files to my DVD discs?

• copy of the files on a DVD and share it with other computers

  I "sent" file of my blank DVD. I chose "mastered" to achieve a closed DVD. I then answer 'Yes' to create another disk? Which failed. I tried to put my first drive back in test it. Instead of going on the DVD, he went to a folder on my C: drive and gave a message of "ready to burn files to disc" message. I opened the DVD in Windows Explorer, and of course, he directed me to a folder on my C: drive. ALL I WANT TO DO IS COPY FILES TO A DVD. I have NOTHING else to this function in Windows. I want to be able to write files to a disc and then PLAY these files successfully, later.

• Why can't copy files to DVD + R... not recognized

  Hello..  I am trying to copy the files on a dvd + r disc, but the drive is not recognized. HWiNFO32 among others assure me my dvd drive can play & read...

  CD - R, CD - RW, DVD-R, DVD - RW, DVD + R, DVD + RW, DVD + R DL.  Any advice would be welcome. I am running XP Pro SP3 with all available updates.

  Windows XP Windows Explorer does not recognize the DVD as an accessible destination in writing.

  You must install and use a third-party software like ImgBurn to write data on DVD.

  Hey derizz,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

  If you cannot copy files normally, try to copy guest rather using Xcopy command.

  1. click on start, principally made programs, click Accessories and then right-click on command prompt, click Run as administrator.
  2. type the following command line and press ENTER. In the command line, drive is the letter of the CD drive or DVD drive.

  xcopy drive:-*. * /s > c:\test1

  See if that helps to successfully copied the files on your hard drive.
  Kind regards

• Re: How to save the video file to a DVD-R for Equium A200

  I have the Equium A200. Someone can tell me how to save the video file to a DVD-R on my computer in order to use it later, or use it in windows movie maker and must not simply copy on another DVD-R right?

  My cursor also has disappered in the suite of windows media, that makes life quite difficult.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  You mean, you want to copy the original DVD movie to HARD drive?
  Well, you can copy the contents of the entire DVD to the HARD drive. It means that you have to copy a lot of data.
  I would recommend shrinking the DVD movies using a tool called DVD shrink.
  It would decrease the data and would also copy the content to the HARD drive.

  But if you want to use these files later in windows movie maker, so you must convert these using a 3rd party tool.
  Google a bit and you should find many free applications that would help you to do this work.

  Good bye

• Copied file too big for 700 MB disc

• I backed up the files on a DVD of a XP OS to put on a 7 OS but the record shows that the data on the DVD is corrupted

  I backed up the files on a DVD of a XP OS to put on a 7 BONE, but the record shows that the data on the DVD is corrupted. I have run some recovery on the DVD programs and even if she shows that 2.3 GB have been used they are unable to find the data

  * original title - I need fast help please *.

  How is not have you backed up the files?  You just burn it to a CD or did you use the 'NT backup' program of Windows XP?  I don't think that the Windows XP Backup program is compatible with the Windows 7 backup program.  The following link contains an article that explains this condition:

  "Windows 7 backup XP restore"

  If you simply copied the files on the CD/DVD, then it is possible the program that copied the DVD not to "finalize" the DVD.  If you can play the DVD on the computer that created it, but cannot on another computer, then this is probably the case.  If this is the case, then put the disk into the computer that created and put in place the program that burned and look under the 'Tools' menu for an option "Finalize"... and do it.

  HTH,
  JW
