Re: Getting a new DVD recorder/player (taking the plunge!)

Hopefully a helpful and related question. I have DVD+ recorder/player
(APEx), I have tried to rip/copy the video to my computer harddrive
but get the message: E:\is not accessible.

The disk plays in the Recorder/player but not on computer.
I also found that it doesn't play in my other DVD player.

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong.
