Do others reading this board make backup copies of their DVD movies? This question is solely directed at those who would do so for their own personal use. I strongly disagree with piracy.My question is two-fold: is DVD X Copy (platinum) important for this purpose? I recognize that after existing stock is depleted, this software will no longer be available. Is it a case of buy it now or never?
Second, does the new generation of DVD recorder drives (e.g., Sony DRU700A), with the capacity to burn dual-layer DVDs, finally make this practical, so that an entire movie (or up to 4 hours of MPEG-2) can be fitted on a single disk?
Thanks for the information.
regards, townsend
Follow Ups:
I have been using DVD XCOPY Platinum ever since it came out and though the software is just as important as the hardware, I found that upgrading the firmware on my Pioneer A05 allowed me to burn all my PERSONAL dvd's without any coasters.I do believe that once old stock is depleted you will never get the chance to buy it again (at least with the decryption already part ofthe software).
One of the best at what it does (and you can't beat the price - FREE ). Click here - then scroll down and checkout some user comments.
Many of the DVD burning programs actually re-encode the video so that it will fit an entire movie on a single-layer disc. Quality obviously suffers and is not the equal to what's on the DVD. However, many people don't mind the loss in quality.Other programs will allow you copy bit-for-bit (more or less) what's on the original DVD. But since most movies take up more space than what's available on a single-layer DVD, you have to spread the material over 2 (or sometimes 3) discs.
With a dual-layer recordable disc, you can now fit a regular DVD on a recordable DVD. The question, though, is if the vast majority of current and past copy programs will recognize a dual-layer disc format. Some of them may have to be updated to deal with the new recordable format. Progress usually comes with a catch.
