    Being a novice to the dvd burning world I am happy to join this forum. While searching information about WizardPro, I came across this site. Due to your outspoken criticism, you helped save me from wasting forty bucks on a scam. Thanks so much. Now on to my questions. Two years ago I purchased an IO Magic dvd burner because my pc was not equipped with a dvd burner. So far it has burned good movies. However, I can't make backup copies of my dvd collection because of copyright encryption. The IO Magic software only allows you to burn copies of non-encrypted dvd's. So my question is. WHAT DO I DO NOW? Can I use other dvd burning software(ie... Nero) on my
    my IO Magic to burn dvd's? Or do I have to buy a new dvd burner altogether? What's the most affordable and user friendly software on the market? Why doesn't most stores carry dvd encrypted burning software? I'm a rookie and I need some guidance. Can someone please walk me through all of this? Thanks in advance.

    I agree w/ Rotary - AnyDVD all the way! Add CloneDVD and you will have a combo that will handle anything and one of the easiest.
    Right now aD members are getting $5 off of each Slysoft product purchase until 6/22. Just type in afterdawn in the coupon section.

    Thanks again for the info. The bbmayo site is pretty cool too. However, I still have one more question. Can I purchase ANYDVD at the local retail store ie...circuit city, best buy or office max? I'm eager to start burning first thing in the morning.
