Actually Afterdawn has a section for XCopy, but I would recommend you try to get recode and/or shrink working. Their quality is far superior and their editing/re-authoring capabilities are better too.
However, if you're happy I guess that's all that really matters, good luck......

Shrink 3.2 is free, it works almost exactly like recode, try it, and if it works you'll know something is wrong with your recode, if it doesn't you'll know it's operator error probably. You can get 3.2 here in AD.

Shrink 3.2 guide update:
Here is a simple, easy to follow, basic Shrink 3.2 guide I wrote. You should have a fully functional working backup when done. Before you get started a couple of items of interest:
No.1- Make sure you get good media, this is extremely important! You can get Ritek G04 4x or G05 8x -R or get Ritek Ridata 4x +R here, for under .50 each and w/ free shipping. Make sure they are "branded" and never burn at over 4x!
http://store.yahoo.com/meritline/ritek-g04-dvd-r-dvde-blank-media-disc-discs.html
No.2- Also, before you get started, Shrink will automatically open Nero or Decrypter to burn so you don't have to open them, however you do have to choose your burner in them if you haven't already in Decrypter....
For Decrypter:
Open decrypter, click on mode, drop down to ISO, across to write and then click on it. Then at the bottom choose your burner you want Decrypter to use.
That's it, close Decrypter, you don't have to open Decrypter anymore.
For nero:
You'll choose your burner in Shrink(read guide)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, here's the shrink guide, follow it to the letter, it's fairly simple:
1-open shrink
2-click on open disc, then choose your source video(disc)from your drive/ if you're using files on your HD then click on open files and choose your folder with your source video files.
3-wait for shrink to analyze(about a minute) and the new screen will come up
4-here you can go into extras by clicking on the + mark.
5-You can change compression on each or substitute still image for each until done. Each can be previewed in the preview window below. There is a drop down window on the top right side that has your compression and substitute options.
5a- you can raise compresssion or substitute a still image on all extras at once before you hit the + mark if so desired. By using the still image you maintain a working menu.
6-if you only want the movie and don't care about a menu, hit re-author, when screen comes up click and drag anything from the right side to the left side that you want to keep and then you will go to set up the analyze and burn features.
7-To set up burn w/nero click on edit > preferences > fileI/O > enable burn with Nero.
Also here you can go to stream selections and choose english from both drop down menus, this will eliminate foreign audio tracks that can take up quite a bit of space.
You also pick your DVD size here from the drop down menu. You can also choose custom and type in your size(I recommend 4300 to prevent burning to the edge). I would also recommend default for all other settings in the preferences window.
8-hit backup
9-under target device choose either file to your HD,or your burner. If you wish to burn with decrypter instead of Nero, choose iso image file and burn with decrypter
10-choose your temporary folder/ shrink will create this or you can make one(before you start) and name it and put it where you can find it.
11- under quality settings(I use this if it's over 10% compression,you must make your own choices here, this will take much longer, but is worth every minute!)check deep analysis and adaptive error compensation. Some say extra smoothness delivers the best quality.
12-hit OK and come back to a finished DVD, leave your PC alone, do not do anything on it while performing backup. No multitasking!
I would add that leave menu alone if you want a working menu, and leave movie alone unless there are 2 movie titles, then pick the one you want(fullscreen or widescreen)and substitute a still image for the other one.
Good luck :>)

I use decrypter and Alcohol 120 to do all my games.
I only burn at 1x and your game must be modified before your copies will work.
The game section can help more, those guys really know this stuff. But, you can modify it with a chip(that's what I did-the DMS 3+), or swap-magic, or HD Loader.
The chip requires nothing but putting the game in.

shrink to let the dvds play on ps2
it's more up to the PS2game's compatibility than up to shrink. Different versions like the early ones only play -R and later ones play +R and -R.

Nope, not a good choice, Get Ritek, they are inexpensive and excellent quality media.
I can't stress how important quality media is in DVD backup. I can't count the people whose problems I have solved just by changing their media.
It's not just a quality issue as was the mindset in CD burning, or VHS, etc. It is the fact of a burn actually playing or playing properly. Bad or inconsistent media causes jumping, skipping, freezing, and not playing at all.
I mention inconsistent because a lot of media will use different manufacturers and thus different batches will vary in quality even though you're buying the same brand. By using quality media you also eliminate media as a possibility when you do encounter a problem with burning DVD's.
Quality media doesn't mean expensive either. You can get Branded Riteks +R or -R for under .50 each w/free shipping. ALWAYS buy BRANDED media so you know what you are getting.
I would also suggest getting a little free app called dvdinfopro. Among it's many uses, it will analyze your media. I keep it on my desktop for easy access because it has so many useful features.
Here is a good reputable company with an excellent return policy and great prices for DVD media:
http://www.meritline.com/ritek-dvd-blank-media.html
Good luck and let us know how it goes :>)

Check out http://www.dvdshrink.info for some more quick guides on using DVD Shrink. There are some good guides with pictures to help show how things work. However the newer 3.2 version does have some added features over the 3.1 (quality settings and still image are 2 of the most notable).

Quite possibly, you're doing something wrong. What program are you using to try to make the copies and what are you doing, step by step? Just telling us you have a problem doesn't give us much to go on. Copies of copies can be made with Shrink, but that sure isn't the route one should take. The copy utility in your recording suite is the best app for the job. Copies have no encryption and usually need no encoding; unless you're trying to copy a large DL disc copy to a 4.7 disc.

Break down and buy something like Nero 6 Ultra Edition. Then get something like Shrink. Once you have these 2 programs loaded on your PC, do something like read the manuals. There are good quick start manuals at dvdshrink.info and more comprehensive ones at doom9.org. Nero has downloadable manuals you can view or download. So, there is no reason you can't operate these 2 programs from the directions unless you have a reading problem. Once you get the programs running, you can come back and ask some specific questions instead of asking that we try to write a "how to" for you on everything. Nero includes the copy utilities you'll need. Shrink is free. Nero has a 30 day full trial with unlimited downloads. So, there is no reason you shouldn't use these programs.
