Hi and welcome to the PD15 Forum.

Personally, I author and burn one BD disk, then use Power2Go to create duplicates. I "verify" each disk duplicated.

There is freeware that will do that for you, as well, but this being a Cyberlink Forum, I am not able to provide names of programs. "Mr. Google" is your friend.

You could also just reload your projects in PD15 and then go to the "Create Disk" module and author/create as many additional BD disks as you need.

Good luck and have a great day.

This where Packed Projects can be very helpful. Every project I do, after I am done, I export to a folder with "Pack Project Materials" function of PowerDirector. The entire timeline, and the remaining Library contents (used or unused) can be exported for archiving. If I need to make a change, or burn a disc, I simply recall my PPM folder, which has a PowerDirector Project file in it, and reopen it in PD. The PPM is forward compatible with new versions of PowerDirector, so you can open it in the future, say, with PD 17.

That is useful to be aware of, but in this case, Garioch's proposed method is perfect, Power2Go, or other disc burning software to simply copy the disc. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Thanks for the words, but I still cant do it. I downloaded 2Go but I could never find where it downloaded to my hard drive. I have an external Blu-ray program. It seems its problem with Blu-ray format...I think I will have to pass on this. When I try to go through PD15 it only copies a small portion of the disk.I should have backed up when i burned the original. IT leave me with a problem of not being able to make copies of then work I have alreaqdy done...

Thanks again, you migh thave a word or two/

Lanciae,

The processes is rather simple if all you want to do is create another BD copy of a disc you already burned with PD. If you have a BD that was created from PD you don’t need to purchase anything to copy that to another BD to share with other relatives. Windows explorer will do the copy just fine.

Assuming you only have a single BD drive, your external Samsung.

1) Insert your PD created BD into your external drive. Depending on what utilities and other playback software you have installed and Auto play settings, something may try to open the BD. Just cancel and use Windows Explorer to open and copy both folders on the BD (BDMV and CERTIFICATE) to a folder on your HD or even your desktop. Eject disc.

2) When you insert a blank BD into your external BD you should get a dialog similar to attached pic. Simply select Windows Explorer. You will get a guided set of dialogs. When blank BD is opened, simply copy the two folders (BDMV and CERTIFICATE) from your HD to the folder and burn. When done, the WIN dialog shown in pic will appear and you can burn another if desired.

Thanks for respoinding. I like the idea of saving into something like PPM. I'll look into it. Still though there has to be program for copying Blu-Ray disk. The problem is I have to use a external Blu-ray player and I can't copy that a disk on my labtop DVD player..

Thanks for the advice,

It is irrelevant that the BD drive is an external one. Once connected any BD copying program should work. You could copy those BD files to the hard drive first and not to that laptop dvd player that you are implying. You could copy those BD files to the hard drive as Jeff suggested.

See this post about burning a BD with win explorer: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/0/51588.page#270662 . It works well.

Hope this helps...
