Three years ago, I purchased a Plextor PX-504A, which came with a free
copy of Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 DVD Edition. Yesterday was the first time I
attempted to burn a DVD.
Our wedding photographer sent our wedding images on a DVD, and my wife and I
attempted last night to create a back-up copy of this DVD.
Initially we attempted a DVD to DVD copy from my Sony DVD-ROM to the Plextor
PX-504A. Easy CD Creator gave me an error message stating that the "Source and
Destination are Incompatible."
I then tried moving the images to my hard drive, and burning them directly to a
blank DVD from my hard drive using Easy CD Creator. I once again received an
error message stating that Easy CD Creator did not recognize the blank media. I tried several blank DVD media disks, and encountered the same problems each time.
I am assuming this is either a driver or software version problem. I already
updated the firmware for both my DVD-ROM and Plextor drives.
Were I to upgrade my current copy of Easy CD Creator to version 9.0, would it
resolve this compatibility issue? Or does the problem reside in my Plextor
drive, thereby requiring a hardware upgrade?
Essentially, is this a hardware or software issue?
