I have been trying this for a day now and am getting nowehere :confused:

I have downloaded a couple of programs but am having no joy.

Apparently, my laptop has a Sony DVD RW.

Any help much appreciated.

    I had a 3D baby scan yesterday so they gave me a DVD of the footage taken. It is from a DVD-R disc.

    Try this program, it's free and I have found it easy to use.
    Hope this helps :)

    OK its a DVDr you dont need anything else other than some software that allows the copying of cd's or DVD's like nero or alcohol 120%

    put the disk in the drive, select the copy dvd wizard and follow the instructions, copying this type of dvd is easy its only comercially produced dvd's that have a few different processes like using dvd shrink.

    "Dad, what's a DVD camcorder?"
    "Oh it's how we used to record video before we had optic implants, those were the good old days where we stored things on physical disks".
