I have just noticed that making a copy of a DVD on Nero takes 35 to 45
minutes for a 1 hour movie instead of 2 1/2 to 3 it would take to "Burn this
project again". My question is: Will the video quality be the same?

Thank you for your help.

========================================
The extra time it takes if you 'Burn this project again'
is because the video has to be rendered...IOW...
converted from it's current format of .wmv, .avi, etc...
to the DVD format.

Burning again or copying...the quality would be the same.

If you use the following freeware you can make an
image of the DVD and make a copy by burning the
image on another DVD. (doesn't work on commercial
DVDs that have copy protection)
