I can't imagine it would be very difficult, regardless of any protection scheme. miscreant 07-12-04, 06:04 PM I'll try with Clone DVD or some other tools I have to make a personal backup copy. I can't imagine it would be very difficult, regardless of any protection scheme. I remember reading that the problem had to do with the size of the DVD. benjet 07-12-04, 06:21 PM I don't believe there is a copy protection issue (but I could be wrong) the NAV DVD I have has about 7.5 gig of data on it. I have the older (what used to be standard) single layer ~4.7gig DVD burner, they now have dual layer burners (~9gig) available. I assume I can burn it to 2 DVD's but then neither would work properly in the car, but I would have the data backed up. Just never bothered to try, no real reason. -Ben miscreant 07-12-04, 06:33 PM I don't believe there is a copy protection issue (but I could be wrong) the NAV DVD I have has about 7.5 gig of data on it.

Devil_concours 07-12-04, 06:36 PM i have a dual layer burner if anyone is willing to let me try benjet 07-12-04, 06:58 PM Can you burn just the US data and not Canada? Duh, I hadn't thought of that. I only have had the DVD out of the car once when I first got it. I will look into that. -Ben j-w 07-12-04, 07:05 PM I remember reading that the problem had to do with the size of the DVD.You are correct sir! Unless someone knows speficially how to delete any regions and not affect it's ability to work I think you'll need to burn with a dual layer. miscreant 07-12-04, 07:18 PM Okay, so you need a dual layer DVD and Dual Layer discs, correct? benjet 07-12-04, 07:37 PM I just went down to grab my DVD out of the car, stuck it in my PC, it's ~7.91g and doesn't have obvious sections for US/Canada. I'll look in at it some more and see if I can't figure out what parts to leave out. Here is the Core info: Region information N/A not a DVD-VIDEO Media code/Manufacturer ID N/A Pressed DVD Format Type UDF 1.02 Volume Name MAP_DVD Application id Implementation id Daikin U.S. Comtec Lab Recording Date/Time (mm/dd/yyyy) 7/31/2003 9:43:57 Format Capacity 7.91GB(8.50GB) Book Type DVD-ROM Media Type DVD-ROM Data area starting sector 30000h Data area end sector 3F4C2Eh Linear Density 0.293um/bit Track Density 0.74um/track Number of Layers 2 Layer Track Path direction (PTP) Parallel track path Some of the above info will need to be known in order to make a working copy. miscreant 07-12-04, 08:05 PM How about this?: http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=312929&pfp=SEARCH benjet 07-12-04, 08:08 PM How about this?: http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=312929&pfp=SEARCH Should work darrelld 07-13-04, 01:34 PM I have been looking for an excuse to buy a dual layer burner, please post back if this works. miscreant 07-14-04, 12:05 AM Success! Atleast burning the disc. I was able to burn a copy of the disc to a dual layer disc. We'll see if it worked tomorrow! :D | |
