I showed someone how to backup his DVDs with Anydvd and Nero6 and it seemed to work ok. We played the start of the copy and the quality was good.

I have just upgraded to Nero 6. I have tried to use the capture facility to directly capture and burn to SVCD.

I've tried Google without much luck. Does anyone still make SCSI DVD-RAM drives? I don't mind caddy, tray or slot-load. Failing that, are there any discontinued models that people could recommend? Any brands to avoid? - Andy Ball

Hi all, I've just used Nero's new BackItUp feature to backup a chunk of data (about 3.4Gb before cmpression) onto a DVD+R disk.
