    I haven't got DVD X COPY to work yet, but I'm working on it. My question is: After copying my movie to the hard drive the program freezes. This has happened twice. Where are the files stored on the computer? I know there is a destination file, but will deleting that do any harm? Will it remove it completely? I don't want a lot of wasted space on my computer while I'm trying to get this to work.

    In the user temp files. No harm in deleting them.

    I've thrown a 20 GB drive into my computer to use just for DVD burning. I find that after 10 or 15 discs I have to defrag it. I'm sure glad I'm not killing my primary drive this way.

    Have you ever tried partitioning?

    My primary drive is partitioned. I'm just saying by adding a second hard drive, when all my burning DVD's ends up killing a hard drive, I won't be crying because I lost everything since my last backup.

    And constant ripping and re-encrypting is very tough on a hard drive.

    I guess what I was wondering is if there are other locations besides the destination file where DXC places files. Since my program froze up a few times and the files were not erased the way they should be, am I missing any by just doing an erase of the destination folder. File names DXC uses would help.

    DXC uses the user temp files as stated above, unless you changed the default location. Just delete the files created by dxc.
