Hi, trying to copy some DVD's for my boss,

each time I try it says target overflow, using a DVD/CD burner that does 3 @a time,

does this mean the original disc, has been over burnt?

thanks in advance...

    Hi
    Most movie DVD's are recorded on dual-layer discs because the size of the movie and extras often is around 7GB.

    If you're trying to burn them to a regular (single-layer) 4.7GB DVD+/-R then that may be why you get 'target overflow' message.
