question

What are the directions to record a Dvd off of another dvd.?
Asked by: Donna L.
I am not sure that you can directly copy (duplicate) a DVD on this machine. It is not mentioned in the manual. This device is intended for converting VHS to DVD and vice versa. If you want to copy a DVD, the best option is to do so using disc copy software on a computer. Windows 7, 8, & 10 have a Burn to Disc option but it is more rudimentary than software specifically designed for the job.
