DVD protection



Just bought Serif's MoviePlus 4 and as usual I have made back-up copies of the two CDs that came with it. (I had, until recently,) a drive that is prone to bursting the originals and as such, I back up all software that I get these days)

This pack of software came with a DVD. When I try to make a copy, (I have two DVD recorders in my computer) using Nero 6.0.0.22 OEM
It just makes coasters. Nero tells me that the destination DVD has no free space and no use used.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it some software copy thing that is making the copying go wrong?
