i bought a DVD burner the other day for about 50 quid. its a pioneer DVR-108. i also bought some blank DVD=R discs. now ive downloaded tonnes of software as this is also complicated. what i am trying to do is copy a DVD movie to try it out, but in the last few days ive had no sucess. ive managed to copy the files to my hard drive. now i want to put them on a DVD. im tryin to use cloner DVD but that ust seems to not work. and neither do any other softwares. this is the worse thing ive ever spent my money on. i cant even put noraml files to a dvd. i click on my computer the blank DVD comes up as an audio disc, which says its capacity is 2 gig, and that is all full. what shit is this. this is way to complicated for me and i dont have a clue. does anyone know of this and any good software they could reccommend as im willin to give my DVD rewriter a chance before throwing it away. cause that what it deserves.
i hate my new DVD burner

Make sure that your DVD's and DVD drive layer's match. Make sure that you aren't trying to burn to DVD + R's and your dvd drive is a DVD - RW drive, or the opposite way around. Also, make sure that your computer meets the spec.'s for the DVD drive.
The drive seems slow because you can't burn information to a DVD as fast as you can burn information to a CD.

Well the 108 is a +/- drive, and burns dual layer as well as single.
In fairness it's not really your DVD burner's fault.
There are good guides for DVD->DVD-R over at http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/ and http://www.doom9.org/mpg/dvdbackup-guides.htm, and like [tab] said the most successful way is using DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink.
Just give it a little more time, read some guides, it helps you familiarise yourself with the processes.
thanks for your responces. i think ive learned what the +/- bit mean and so on. i managed to backup a movie today succesfully, i burned troy to DVD, 2 DVDs infact as i didnt have enough room on one. it takes a while thought doesnt it. i used DVD decrypter and dvdfab. which i found quite good. i think i can use dvd fab as an all in one program so i will try another movie tmoz. thanks for your responces. and im also gonna get nero for data cds as i need to put all my shit on a dvd and not several cd's.
