I have spent 3 months on and off creating a family tree movie for my Grandson.
I had finally completed it and successfully made it into a DVD, but only one copy when my hard drive died and I had to replace it.
I have copied the files on DVD back to my new hard drive and can open and play my movie on powerdirector.
Having done that i thought (probably stupidly so) that i may be able to then burn to disc again but I am getting as far as 24% producing titles and can get no further.
I will be really grateful for any help, even if it's just 'stop wasting you're time, it's impossible'!

I'm not sure you have a problem here.

1. DVD disc duplication can be carried out using a disc writing software. Such as power2Go or the one that came with your DVD writer.
2. You can copy the whole of the contents - the two folders Video_TS and Audio_TS onto your PC hard drive and then using a disc writing software place those two folders (directories) and their contents onto a DVD.

Job done.

I think that's the answer you'd want. There should not be a need to bring the vob files back into PD to edit or anything.

Thank you, I'll try it, although my audio-TS folder is empty. I'll give it a go anyway. Thanks again

Don't worry that the Audio folder is empty - it often is for simple DVD compilations.
