Got my a04 a few months ago and been having great fun, allways burn discs from images made on the hard drive but would like to do it on the fly, bought a cheap DVD reader and put it on my sec ide (burner on primary) tried a couple of discs and just got coasters, do I need to buy a good brand reader to burn on the fly. Using nero

How do u try to burn them? Plz give details.

U can only burn non-encrypted dvds (i.e dvdr, silvers etc) on the fly with current software. With encrypted dvd u have to first decrypt (smartripper, dvddecryptor) then burn (nero,prassi etc).

Hope some kind programmer makes it possible to burn encrypted dvd's on the fly soon (hardware supports it - burn proofing, just no software available yet). :idea:

I've done dvdr/silvers copies on fly. Works fine for me.

:p

Just tried a DVD-r to DVD-r on the fly for the 1st time with Record Now and it worked ok. Never been able to do it with Nero.

The discs are dvd silvers with no protection, will try record now cheers m8
