Hope someone can help here, I used to be able to copy on the fly in Nero perfectly with Nero 5 and Win98 with my NEC 2500.

I have recently upgraded to XP Pro service pack2, Nero 6603 & a NEC 3500a and now find that I can't copy on the fly anymore and get error "can't copy to this disc"

Also reading in on the NEC to an image (4 mins - reads too fast?) then writing out also makes a coster.

Using Shrink to read in and Nero to write out is fine, but I miss the speed of Disc 2 Disc on the fly.

I have seen a number of people with exactly the same problems and no solutions yet? any help on offer?

Other links to same problems:

You mentioned everything except what you are trying to copy on the fly. Music, and DVD Video is "not recommended" for copy on the fly.

Also, I deleted your duplicate posts. Please review the rules. This makes problems for us and you when you post duplicate posts.

Thank you in advance.

Sorry I had thought when I spoke of DVD Shrink it would be assumed as video, but I have found the answer after finding loads more recent posts from people in the same boat using the new Nero, so deff a fault with the new Nero, and I have proven my system is sound by doing on the fly in Alcohol 120% with no problems.

I know on the fly might not be recommended but it always works for me 99%, maybe im just lucky.

Generally "on the fly" copying is not safe. There are many cases, no matter what the burning application was, that a problem, at least buffer underrun, occured.

Personaly I avoid it.
