    Mrchub - your apology is accepted and comments forgotten. As a newbie I am learning the rules of the road and as suggested I will open another - what that thing called?

    See what I mean?

    Thanks guys!

    WEll thanks to you guys I will soon be heavily invested in software. Got a question...but I need an HONEST answer.

    From reading the posts it appears DVD X Copy is the best choice for copying DVDs. I know I can buy Platinum for $150 on this site and I beleive DVD X Express for $89...but I've seen the same on Ebay for like $15 to $30 with activation guarnanteed by PayPal...so I have two questions...1. Whats the difference between Platinum (or Gold) DVD X Copy and DVD X Express? and 2. Is there some reason for me not purchasing one on Ebay for less?

    Thanks guys. I appreciate your help

    Dont do it!!!! That company went under a couple of months back.. Support is almost non exsistant and the program is outdated and wont work on the newer encryption... Save you money.. I am not sure where you have been reading about Xcopy at, but it must be some old stuff... Better combination and easier is DVDCopy3 and AnyDVD by far the best IMO. If you don't want to buy anything you can use DVD Shrink And DVD Decrypter and I have guides on using those at my website (Link is in my signature)..

    Roger, I dont know what posts you have read but you were looking at the wrong ones. Previously bbmayo recommended his site http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/index.html Last time I checked his first link says to use dvddecrypter and dvd shrink. DvdXcopy can be had for free but even then it isnt worth the space on your harddrive. You need to spend time looking at the forum and at the guides given thats what there for.

    Thanks..I guess it really is true you can easily get ripped off on line. again thanks for the warning. Sooo If I, a newer than new newbie wanted to copy say a commercial movei rented from Blockbuster, for example...not that I ever would you understand...could I do that using Shrink or the other one you mentioned and of course the big question, is it really easy?

    shrink works on most movies except with some of the colombia tristar movies ie; resident evil2, little black book, and others. Those that have the newer encryption need to be ran through dvddecrypter. Once you learn dvd copying you will soon be trying everything else so remember to search the forum for any solution to a new problem, chances are someone already fouled up and got the answer to your sitch. I also suggest that you learn more about pc's in general because alot of problems can be caused by different settings. First thing you need to understand is what DMA is. Also if you get a "crc" error chances are it is a dirty or scratched disc. I learned most everything I know about computers from screwing them up. Before you buy anything ask around so you dont waste your money or time. BTW welcome to AD.

    Yes and Yes :)
    Just follow a guide and you will be on your way. I made my guides as easy as possible. If you can read and look at pictures pointing at exactly what to do then yes even you can do it.. LOL :)

    Do indeed and I'm working it like an old timer. Now trying to figure out how to get Nero to print the list of files on a cover. Directions say you can but I can't figure it out.

    Thanks for keeping up with me

    If what you mean by 'Hit the button" you are referring to the Cover Design button on SlideShow...well I don't see it. If you are refering to the Cover Design link from SmartStart I can do that. I can also design a cover. I need diretions on how to get the folder contents to be listed so I can place it on the back of the Title page inside the plastic folder that holds the CD.

    Roger , what on earth are you on about ..?


    If you just done a compilation , hit cover designer & it'll show details of compilation in the front & rear pages.
    If doing DVD then hit that instead as TAB when opening from afresh , all I can say is you really need to play about more with software !!

    New at this stuff!!

    I have searched this forum just a bit and I have a quick question?? I have burned a couple of backups using X-Copy, can I burn another movie from the backup?? I have tried and no luck?? Is this possible with other software?

    Thanks

    You can't use X Copy software to recopy something done with X Copy software. It is designed to stop extra copies using the same software. However you should be able to use any other software to make a second copy. Any disc copy program should do the trick. No need to use a decrypter again since the first copy has no encryption.
    Did I confuse you enough??

    With the RF version of platinum you CAN make a copy of a copy. You have to use the browse facility, otherwise it will not, for some obscure reason, pick up the disc automatically!
