To Car Mike, Thank you for your reply. I have been using DVD X Copy and the only thing I can find wrong with it is that it only allows one copy at a time and won't leave the image on your HDD. The actual back ups of my DVDs are perfect though, absolutely faultless. if I have to purchase a program to get the results then I will so to me money is not the problem, it's finding a program with quality as good as DVD X Copy Platinum. I will take your advice and search for the programs you mention. I have Nero and DVD Shrink so I will give that combination a go to start off with.
If you close and re-open XCopy, you should be able to make another copy. Also you have to have the RF version to burn from your HD. If you are using Platinum v4.0.4.15RF, then just use DVD Decrypter to rip to your HD.
