Successful nav dvd backup

Yay happy happy joy joy I was able to create a backup of the Navtech dvd using a dual layer dvd (which are way crazy expensive but lots cheaper than a replacement navtech dvd)
Application used was cdclone created an image and then used the same application to burn the image.

I'm working on editing the image and burning it onto a cheaper cd+r or cd-r disk.

The dvd system had no problem reading the dual layer disk.

the disc was produced but you can't get it since mazda wont release it...go figure!

look at the sticky at the top of this section of threads (audio/video/electronics) and you can join the perpetual mazda call time )

doubt u can shrink 4.5GB to 700Mb for a CD-r... but if u can trim to 4.4 we can fit it onto a DVD+r/-r ... which i think u meant to say anyways

wow, thats great news. I have pulled my nav dvd and put it in my computer also.. havent tried backing it up...

I noticed its SDAL format.... I did alot of searching looking for a program or at least a viewer that can handle .SDL files. I havent found much... The only thing that I found was a SDAL FAQ from navtec..

I doubt anyone has been able to do this but its worth a shot at asking, has anyone been able to dump the OS off the nav onto a computer? Or has anyone been able to emulate the software to run SDAL format dvd's?

I am looking at taking the Navtech DVD and transfering it a USB keydrive.
Then I can use the DVD for other things.
Not to mention if you hit a bump the keydrive will not skip or scratch.

Once I get this complete I will post a link for people to read on how to do it.

Pretty obvious in the pirating world. If you get a good image and up it to a newsgroup...this is why. Also if you original dvd gets scratched up you will have a backup.
