Can someone please advise how to copy a dvd once it has been deleted from the computer using videosuite 8? I tried last night for about 3 hours, could copy movie but no audio with videosuite image recorder. Then i tried to load from original dvd into the program videosuite it showed 2 files, video-ts and an audio ts which showed empty and would not bring it in. I tried in the videosuite movie wizard and it brought in 2 chapters of the movie, instead of 1 chapter. Then when i tried to burn in movie wizard, it only had a back button and a close button ,no burn button. I tried several different ways. Anyway i finally got the movie into videosuite 8 somehow, i still don't know how i did it. Had to make a video file. rerender then burn.
The instructions do not say how to reload a video and I am still learning the program. Would appreciate any help you can give me to make it easier. Thank you.

If you just want to copy a DVD then the best way is to use one of the many disc burning management programmes that exist and are quite often supplied with your burner (Nero, Roxio, etc.) to simply copy the original to a new one.
If you want to do some further editing on the disc and providing the DVD is one of your own - then put it in the DVD tray of your PC and open up UVS8 at the editing tab, down in the very bottom left hand corner you will see a small round icon with an opening folder on it. - click on it and from the pop-up which appears choose "Insert DVD/DVD-VR.." - in the new window that opens browse to the VIDEO_TS folder on your disc - select it and click OK and your video will be imported to the timeline for further editing and burning to disc.
It is quite normal for the AUDIO_TS folders on a DVD to be empty - they are never used.
Perhaps if you told us a little about how the original disc was made and what are the properties of the files on it (Video and audio) we could provide more help. For instance is it possible that the audio on your DVD is AC-3 Dolby Digital - if yes then you will need the AC-3 plug-in for UVS8 to decode it.

In this case convenience and expense are inversely related.
You can do as you did - import to timeline, render and burn. Free but tedious.
You can download DVDFab - http://www.dvdidle.com/index.htm - you can copy any DVD with this; makes a temporary copy on the hard drive on the way. It is shareware; you can play with it for 30 days and decide whether to buy.
A full retail copy of MyDVD - http://www.sonic.com - this, apart from being a darn good burning program, has a copy module - you can quickly and effortlessly copy any non-copyright DVD.

I'm just nitpicking, but there are no DVDs (or other works for that matter) that are not copyright protected. All DVDs etc. automatically enjoy copyright protection under international law as soon as they are created -- you do not have to apply for that.
If you want to copy a DVD, you can also do so quite easily with DVD Decrypter, since it can both create and burn ISO images.

Just to further explore THoff's statement, while he is correct about affording copyright without registration, you would be hard pressed to defend your copyright rights without proper documentaion as to when it was createdTHoff wrote:I'm just nitpicking, but there are no DVDs (or other works for that matter) that are not copyright protected.

if it had (C) 2004 on the end of a video that automatically makes you the copyright holder of the work.
to back this up your disc or image would contain the date the file was made etc....
if you copy a work which holds a (C) or TM on it you are in effect breaking the law and can be prosecuted.
In the UK that means the confiscation and destruction of equipment, 10 yrs in jail and a #5000 pound fine.
All that for not going out and buying a legitimate disc in the first place.
Now i wonder which is preferable!

Perhaps I have been misunderstood. My intention was to promote registration of copyright. While I can not speak on the laws or benefits in the U.K, I can in the U.S.david reece wrote:if it had (C) 2004 on the end of a video that automatically makes you the copyright holder of the work.

Registering a copyright in the U.S. is a simple and inexpensive matter that does not need an attorney. The benefits to registration are worthwhile.
1: registration establishes a public record of copyright claim
2: If registration is made within a 3 month period after creation or prior to any infringment, statutory damages and attorney fees will be available to the copyright owner (this alone is worth the $30 US cost). Otherwise only an award of actual damages is available to the owner.
3:registration also allows the owner registration with the US Customs Service affording protection from overseas importation of infringing copies.
