Gentlemen, we have a winner. After 8+ hours I think InstantCopy 8 is well worth 25 bucks(found it for 24.95). I used LOTR-Return of the King since I had already backed it up with recode ,so I had something to compare to and also, I wanted a long movie( this one tops out at 3 1/2 hours) that had action and would test it's meddle. If time isn't a factor(Brian, you weren't kidding about that, & rite on target about InstantCopy's quality!), then this program is another great way to go. Easy to use and compatible with a large number of softwares and it has a ton of options, all the while retaining a working menu. I did 3 burns, 1-on the fly with Anydvd(BTW brobear and Tom, dvd43 also worked flawlessly on one of my other burns)-2+ hours, 2- ripped with Decrypter to HD, then to burn- 3+ hours, 3- ripped with dvd43, then wrote to HD, then to ouput folder, then to burn ( didn't finish this one but estimate about 4+ hours). I then put my recode copy in one dvd player, and each of my Pinnacle copies in another one at a time, put it on a 56" Mitsibushi HDTV and split the screen in half with my PIP. I played, paused, and freeze framed throughout and I gotta say that Pinnacle was superior in all cases. As Sophocles stated in an earlier thread, speed or quality or a happy medium, it's up to you. I will by no means give up recode, still love it, great picture considering I did the same movie in about 1 1/4 hrs. But, damn, I was impressed. To 6402 sq., pull it out of the dustbin and burn baby burn. No problems whatsoever. I went to Mushkin for my guide and used doom 9(http://www.dvdrhelp.com/guides.php?tools=&madeby=&formatconversionselect=&howtoselect=3%3B25&orderby=Topic&listall=1&archive=%25&search=Search+or+List+Guides) for anybody interested. It also comes with a good help file and support. Finally, if I'm up @ the computer,-recode, if I'm goin' to bed,-Instant copy. lol In conclusion, for those of you that haven't tried it use the trial version, I think it gives you 15 days, and let me know what you think. Thanx for starting the thread Sophocles which in turn showed me this wonderful affordable program. Happy Blazing....

GO VOLS !

The question I must ask of course is: user friendly? Gotta remember I'm just a poor ole dumb country boy. I actually downloaded dvd rebuilder til I realized I needed CCE to go with it. Seems like at the time it was substantually higher than 50.00 This was a while back when I first got into this vein and I was downloading everything and anything to do with video back-up. PS-I just put a bid on a dual layer burner by Lite On,SOHW 832S. Know much about them?

GO VOLS !
