Somebody please tell me if I can successfully make a copy of a DVD game with pioneer a04 and windows me. I'm hearing all kinds of stuff about having to have ntfs but it sounds as if some people are doing it with windows me or lower. Fill me in on the details as well as what sw to use to burn and any other issues to be aware of. Thanks.

I don't have a burner yet but I'm probably going to get one. All of the people saying you have to have windows xp for ntfs is freaking me out though. I know the burner is compatible with Win ME but I don't know about FAT32 (because of the file size limit). Can someone clear this up??

I don't have a dvd burner so take my advice 100%, but it will work fine on windows me because the program will split the file into 2 different pieces if it is too big for fat32 file system and will rejoin the 2 files to make a one working image file when burned, so u have notin to worry bout.
tell me if im right

Thanks for the help. What software splits the files? I have been hearing Primo DVD is good software to get but do I have any other options?

nero 5.5.8.0 or primodvd 2.0 (with engine 327 update) are pretty much the only dvd recording programs you could want. nero has replaced cdr-win for me since it handles .bin/.cue files for my cd-r burns. :tup:
