Hi` all I`ve posted this reply in another thread, but if you haven`t had time to search for it, here it is again,

got this from NERO`s own Gen FAQ`s site

1. Can I copy DVDs with Nero?

A.....Nero is able to copy DVDs which are not copy protected and which
are 4.7GB in size such as is supported by DVDR or DVDRW media.

(Important Note: Most DVD Videos that you can buy are bigger than 4.7GB and they are, for the most part, copy protected.)

2. What is the maximum capacity of a DVD-Video disc?

A..... There are 2 types of DVD media available.

Single layer DVD media can hold up to 135 min. of Video on a 4.7 GB DVD.

Double Layer DVD media can hold up to 240 min. of Video on a 8.5 GB DVD+R DL.

3. I want to burn a DVD-Video disc but I always get an error message saying compliance test failed' when I drop my files into the DVD-Video compilation. Even when I have VOB, IFO and BUP files.

A .......Sometimes DVD Authoring programs create non-complaint video projects. (Important Note: Nero cant burn illegally ripped DVDs. Usually they losing compliance through ripping.)
