I have been using dvdx copy platinum for some time and always been happy with the quality. It seems it dosen't recognize the new dvds I am purchasing and learned sony it crypting theirs differently? I was wondering if anybody could tell which software i should upgrade to that would work on all dvds i want to copy. I don't understand what this nero recode is and dercrypter that i have read about in the forums. can somebody please tell me what programes to get?
You could download DVD SHRINK and DVD DECRYPTER from the software tab at the top of this site. You can backup most dvd's using DVD SHRINK and NERO, if you read scubapetes guide also on this site it will tell you exactly how to do it. Also a few new dvds can be done using the newest version of decrypter, there are plenty of guides on this site to tell you how to do this correctly.
If you want something similar to XCopy, try AnyDVD w/ CloneDVD2. You can use the full version free for 21 days. Try it out. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/anydvd.cfm http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/clonedvd.cfm
