U2Lynne -

my bad, i thought it went without saying to do a check on the copied and pasted files. i use DirPrudence to do file checking when the disc doesn't have an MD5 to begin with.

and btw - i figured Macs could do the classic drag & drop for copying DVDs. but since i've never used a Mac for copying DVDs, i didn't want to assume that it would work fine. (unfortunately, the majority of my Mac experience is only in the word processor program. )


pawal -

good luck with the TDK DVDs lasting. well, nix that. good luck to everyone, with every brand of DVD, lasting... since it's still somewhat relatively new technology (less than 20 years old), it will be interesting to see how long the data lasts...
