DVD X Copy is a "One-click" DVD software application developed by 321Studios that will teach you how to burn DVDs. There are no freeware or shareware programs included in this package.
321 Studios, the creator of DVD X COPY, keeps its DVD software package aimed at legitimite use because it is trying to keep within MPAA guidelines.
This DVD software package does this by copying voice object files (VOB) while keeping those files inaccessible. These files carry the MPEG-2 stream, navigation and search information packets.
You can't, therefore, remove the region protection that would enable universal playback.
There is no altering or compressing of these VOB files, which yields perfect image clarity with the bonus that all audio and video options (multiple camera angles) remain intact. Every DVD you copy with DVD X COPY is exactly like the original. Copy menus, trailers, and special features are all intact.
The main drawback is that most movies exceed 2 hours and they require about 6 GB (without the extras) to copy to a DVD. A blank DVD holds 4.7 GB. That means
you'll use 2 discs to capture the whole movie and its extras. The ripping/writing time will vary depending upon the power of you PC.
DVD X COPY does teach you how to burn DVDs and it contains all the software you need to backup, copy and restore your own DVD Movies. Within minutes, using their easy One-click technology, you can copy and burn your own DVD Movies using nothing more than their software, a DVD-ROM and any DVD Burner (including DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R or DVD+RW). To find out how one-click copying works simply use the software's tutorial.
The tutorial makes it clear that if you don't want to fiddle with options, you can copy by simply clicking a button that sits at the bottom right of the interface.
The software is very user friendly and the process of copying DVDs is effortless. Your DVD copies will play on your home DVD player just like regular DVDs.
(Most Newer DVD Players support DVDR or DVD RW) It should be noted that if something goes wrong when you a copy a DVD the whole process must be restarted. The software doesn't save what you already have.
