I have heard that there are some on the market that can't duplicate DVDs longer than 110 min. Is this an issue with this machine?

yes it is true i didn't know that tell after i got it. It only works with smaller dvds.

The disc capacity limits the amount of info it can hold..not the machine. A standard DVD can hold 4.7 gb (approx 2 hours). A Double layer DVD can hold 8.5 GB of info. (almost twice as much - 4-hours). Your machine will copy dual layer discs if your master is a dual layer disc...the machine automatically adjusts for the dual layers. Dual layer discs will play on most modern DVD players no problem!

The limit is not in the machine, the limit is the DVD. If you can find a DVD that is longer than 110 minutes, It will duplicate it.

JV - Thanks a lot! I could not figure out why my dvds wouldn't play on other dvd players. There is nothing to clue you in that you need to finalize them.

I'm not sure it this duplicator can burn double layer cd/dvd's. I do know that I've made copies of several DVD's that contained three to four sermon's that were each one hour long and they worked out just fine.

I have not copied dvds yet..but cds are MUCH faster. I would assume the same would apply for dvds.

I have copied DVD that I had purchased. Some have copy rights and are not suppose to be copied. I have been very please with my Acumen. After having it for 8 months it quit working so I called the tech support and sent it to them and they fixed it and sent it back, no charge.

Are you using DVDs? I watch them all the time. Otherwise, check the specs and see exactly what files it does read. unfortunately, im thinking it reads an older format.

I have the same player you have and have played those very same blu ray dvd's I would unplug the player.wait a few min. allow it to reboot........andtry it again if all else fails...I would try a different disc from that collection.and If that doest work you may have gotten a defective set of discs.

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

I'm completely unfamiliar with this issue. I use my player for my UK and European commercial DVDs. A brief search revealed the CPRM issue has been plaguing people for nearly a decade. Have you tried researching the issue online? There are usually some good tech forums around for discussions such as this one. Good luck.

I've had better luck with Fair Use than with iriverter. Might be because I'm converting TV shows, which have more than one episode on a DVD. iriverter would only recognize one (random) episode per DVD, while Fair Use recognizes all of them. I also found that, although the default converted file size using Fair Use is 700 MB, I can reduce that to 300-400 mb without noticeable loss of quality. Thanks to all the people who posted with info on DVD conversion!

It's a problem with the manufacturer in this case. The set I purchased had more defective dvds than ones that worked. I really liked the workouts I was able to complete and I would still love to finish this program. I've read many reviews for this product that report the same problem.

Thanks you two for responding. Well, I bought a DTV, so my problem is solved. I guess I'm an old timer, 51 yrs. I used to think I was handy with all this when I dubbed some VHS tapes or loaded programs into a computer, or had my own FTP space to put pictures on eBay. But OH MY GOD!!! You've got to be kidding!?? I know younger folk will have a better handle on it all, but just looking at these manuals,... who do they think they're talking to? 'Nuff said

I think you should try thee 8.5 dvd's the total time is 240 mins. I do not know the KB equivalent.They cost a tad more, but they hold more. Just look into them.

Don't get hung up on the software. Its a trial version that expires after awhile. I was disappointed in that. You will need a master to work with in the duplicator. If that's not a big deal then you won't need the software. Remember it won't duplicate copy protected discs. If you do need software for your master at least you can try out Nero.

I had a DVD that did not work. I contacted the seller and they sent a DVD immediately. I also mentioned that I haven't watched two of the DVDs and they sent replacements for those. It's a good thing they did the latter even if I didn't request replacements for them. One of the DVDs that I didn't watch also did not work but the replacement did.

Hmm...difficult to answer that one but DVD's I recorded on from Verbatim, 5 years ago still run fine. If you keep them in a case, no reason they won't last a very long time.
