It won't copy directly.
You would be better off to reauthor it as a DVD.
Hope you saved the original finished video file.

That would also depend if you have or dont have a DVD burner on your puter. It would have really been helpful when asking your question if you would have given some info on your computer

Coho, I posted on the other thread before I saw this. Several years ago, I purchased a computer that had Norton installed. I could not burn a DVD on that computer until after I removed every trace of Norton. When I called Tech support at Norton, they told me that it was a known problem, and sent me a refund check. That was many years ago however, and I wouldn't think they would still be having that problem.

There is nothing morally wrong with copying a product that you own for your personal use. I do it once in a while with music CDs. I burn a clone to carry in my truck while the original remains in the home. I can't think of a justifiable reason to copy a DVD for personal use, but there may be one. In this instance the request and cited intent was unclear and appeared to be shady. Always remember on the Internet nothing is as it seems. "The FBI says......" I challenge that statement as being myth and legend. In Federal statutes, as in state statues regarding contraband, possession alone is a violation. Intent is not an element unless the individual is being charged with manufacture and delivery. DA

CDs are used for storage but executable files can be ran from them - all you programs are loaded via the CD/DVD. Yes, all files burned to CD become read only and if you copy any back to your hard drive you will need to change the name if you intend to modify the file. I know nothing about re-writable CDs but I would suggest you erase everything when wiping it. Do not apologise for asking seemingly basic questions, asking is learning.

Making Copies of Photo CD's

it may be the cd you are trying to copy, I know the walmart photo cd's that I have had in the past were not always copyable they contain special coding or something that can make it hard if not impossible to copy sometimes. but with most photo cd's you just put the cd in the cd drawer and it will pop up a box asking what you want to do, you want to copy to disc, or you can just drag and drop the pics from the disc to a folder on your pc. Right click on the picture itself and you should have some options like save as or copy to you can use those also to tell it where to put the picture. this is the type of situation I have run into with the walmart cd, this is a quote from a website. "WalMart Photo and also Kodak photo processing--available at nearly any supermarket, drug store, etc.--offer to put your photos on a CD along with developed prints. But, included with the CD images of your photos is proprietary photo/album management software. The photo/albun software seems to be pushed on the consumer to make it his primary photo management software program. These programs include a (re)ORDER PRINTS and/or ENLARGEMENTS function. The objective is to cause the consumer to keep using only THAT photo processing source and photo management program on his PC! Either the Walmart or the Kodak software MUST be loaded to even view the photos on the respective CD or to copy the images to your PC's hard drive. Without loading the proprietary software, you cannot view, edit or copy your photos! " I refuse to load any extra software on my pc if I can not do it with the programs I have then too bad. I will not risk putting spyware on my pc.

I guess that most people would assume that I have a DVD burner on my computer if I was going to try to copy it to a DVD.

I have Roxio as the software. What other information do you need?

I haven't copied a CD made with Movie Maker but I have Roxio Classic Creator 6.1.1.7 and I burn CDs to DVD. In fact, I just copied some graphics to a DVD. Just put the CD in and burn as usual.....Everything looks fine.

You can do that with data files,
but (S)VCD disks are different.
The formatting between a video CD and a DVD is different.
You could rip the video from the video CD and re author it.
But you suffer a severe loss of video quality.

You would be better off to start with the original
video file and reauthor it as a DVD.

Hope you saved the original file.

IF you have the original file from Movie Maker - you can put that into Roxio.

I know there are several different versions of "Roxio" - but this is how I do it on mine. I open up DVD Builder - and add the "movie". I take out the Roxio intro - drives me nuts, LOL

THen I burn the "Movie Maker" slideshow to DVD. WOrks great!

I love using Movie Maker - the only drawback is that it doesn't burn to DVD.

WHen I create the Movie Maker project, in step 3 - Save To Computer - I choose "Other Settings" - High Quality Video (NTSC) - then I burn onto DVD, that saved project using Roxio.

Hope this is clear - LOL! I am not sure it makes any sense to anyone but me?
