    I appreciate that you have purchased DVDxcopy xpress and want "value" out of your puchase, but why don't you download & use DVDshrink instead.It's free & versatile. There are many members on this forum who swear by this software. I am sorry i can't be more help on your original question.

    Hi mikepo, There is a link to the X copy forum at the bottom of the page. However, I think your copy of the software should be the complete version. Does the title Have RF in it? If not, you should not need DVD43. That is only for the Ripper Free versions. You didn't state much about your exact problem. Most trouble I had with X copy Express when I used it was poor quality media. Try a GOOD known brand of blank media like Ritek and see if the backup works.

    I have a TDK 420 RW DVD and it was working fine but now I go to copy a DVD movie and after it reads it's it starts to write to blank dvd and then I get an error message and the dvd is runied it has a small ring near the center and that is all it writes. Any one what is wrong. I can write to the dvd files but can't movies.

    Well it is the dvd x copy express, not the platinum vers. Problem is that it will not copy any new movie dvds. Only makes back up of older movies (before 2003). Such as Spiderman and others. Movies like Blade2 & Training Day, and new released movies will not copy. It goes to 55% and then says "error". Then it says insert blank dvd r. What do i need to download to make my dvd x copy xpress (only copies on to 1) to make copies of all movie dvds. Thanks for ur help.

    DVD X Copy XPRESS v3.2.5.13 is the version that I have. The problem is not the media but being able to get pass the encryption, which prevents the software to make a backup of the dvd movie. Thanks again for your assistance.

    It wont get 55% on a movie I have made a backup copy of before it wont copy now it starts to write and stops. It put a small line close to the center of the DVD about the size of a thin pen line.

    That's your problem right there. XCopy needs at least 105 keys to work properly. You're getting incomplete burns because there's not enough keys.

    If the 102 key board is my problem, why was I able to make copies before with the same key board. I don't think it is the key board, I think it is the sky hook that is the problem.

    Key board is Dell
    I was using DVD Copy Xpress RF,DVD X Copy Platinum RF,DVD X Copy Platinum, DVDXTREME, and DVD Copy Plus
    You are right DVD Shrink works great I use it then write to disk with Roxio 6, Creator Classic, I haven't used Roxio Drag to disk yet but think it would work also. What program do you use to write to disk?

    Hiya bobfree,

    I was yankin' your chain with the whole keyboard thing.

    The exact error you're getting is the most important piece of info.

    If you have the "RF" versions, what are you using to rip the DVD in the first place?

    As you've found, DVD Shrink is a much better piece of software than the XCopy line which are very poor performers.

    Roxio can and does interfere with other burning apps so if you get Nero then take Roxio off before you install it.

    Drag To Disc is Roxio's version of packet writing software and will not work with DVD movies.
