Hey Guys'n Gals!!!! GREAT NEWS! There's a new software out by "321Studios", a pioneering DVD copy software solutions provider called "DVDXCopy". Check out their website http://www.321studios.com or simply use the link http://www.dvdxcopy.com. Thought I should share this information with you guys. They claim that the original movie including all the trimmings (menus, trailers etc) are copied onto 1 or 2 DVDr discs without the loss of Video or Audio quality with a money back guarantee (according to them that is). I am yet to try out this software (but will soon enough because of their outstanding reputation and the money-back-guarantee). But it's $79.99 to pre-order and is due out on the 28th of October. Please let me know when you try out this software. I am a total dummy at this kind of job (ie a TOTAL 100% dummy) and hence my reason to 'come across it' in the first place.
copied directly from their webpage....... Step 1: Install DVDXCOPY on Computer Step 2: Insert Blank DVD Disc Step 3: Press COPY NOW to Backup DVD **Question?? where's it getting the files from? OIC, they 'skipped' a step, right. Hey!!! When you get it let us know if it actually works. I'm kinda suspect.... too easy.
And on reputation and company name...blah blah. I purchased an e-book from EXPERT GUIDES, a SPONSOR on this page, and I'm still waiting on a 'refund', from their no hassle satisfaction guarantee...whatever. Emailed several times, no reply. I just chalked up my $20 as a loss. Be careful. $80 is a lot more to lose than $20.
I would assume it's getting it's files (from the original dvd) via your extra dvd-rom drive. This is assuming you're using 2 drives - a dvd-rom, plus your dvd burner. Alternatively -- reading and copying the original dvd from your dvd *burner*, which, of course, doubles as a reader, TO the HDD for processing, and then *back* to the burner once you put a blank disc into it. In either case, I imagine all video processing is done on the HDD. It doesn't matter (does it?) if the dvd's files are transferred to the drive via a dvdrom or a dvd burner. Haven't a clue how it's done. (*yet*) -- Mike --
