I'm running a windows XP set up. I gig processor, 512 ram, 40 HD. I've just installed a Sony Dru 710a dvd burner with nero software. I've managed to burn a disk and it plays back ok in the windows media player but not the nero media player for some reason. Any way that's another problem. What I'm looking to do is burn all my files to dvd disk then download them onto the hard drive as and when I need them and edit them in premiere 6. But I can't copy the files over. (there avi's) In fact when ever I try to either open a file in explorer or copy a file over the whole sytem crashes. Wipe out.
Am I doing the correct thing (procedure)?? Is there another way or is there a conflict here?? Any ideas???

not really the correct way to "SOLVE" but a work around...


try copying to hdd via NERO, by making a image file. As if you were making a copy.

Then use "ISO BUSTER" to rip the image files to get your video files from the dvd.

This is assuming your dvd is of avi files you have backed up...

don't know if this will help you out, but someone might benefit, but I had a similar problem when I backed up a load of avi files to dvd,
I tried to copy them back over using my DVD rom drive, and it didnt work, but it did work when I used the drive I burned the DVD's with.

Thanks for your suggestions here. I'll try these out when I get a chance. Snowed under with work but thanks again.
