I have had dvd x copy for a year and 1/2 and have made back up copies of all my dvds. about 4 dozen. have never had a problem. just bought Band of Brothers and attempted to make a back up. it goes through all the motions of coping the disc. then i get the message to install a blank dvd. i do and hit burn now. . it starts out like it is making a copy and after about 20 seconds it stops and says burn failed. is there some movies that dvd x copy cannot copy.

Willy, I wholeheartedly agree with Pete. I have used the DVD Shrink/Nero combo to back up all of my daughters Disney collection.
Coincidentally, I am in the process now of backing up my Band of Brothers collection as well. The discs are DVD-9's, so they don't fit onto one DVD-R without some compression. DVD Shrink will let you compress the titles to fit onto one DVD-R.
I, however, decided to keep each episode at the highest quality, and I'm burning each individual episode to it's own DVD-R using the Re-Author option in DVD Shrink. I don't get to keep the menu or the field guide manual, but I can always pop in the original discs if I would like to access these options.
Shrink has burned each episode perfectly, and I have used DVDInfoPro to check each disc afterwards for read errors. So far, I've been 8 for 8 on successful burns with no read errors, and they play in 3 different DVD drives, 2 standalone players, and our PS2 setup in our vehicle. Surprisingly enough, all of them have been with Princo's.

willy2468,
Remember to stop back and let us know how you did :-))
BTW - When I backed up "Sex in the City" I used DeCrypter, DVD2One (in the "join" mode) and Nero, putting all 12 episodes on a single DVD with excellent results ! DVD2One has a 30-day free trial and I liked it so much I purchased it. Just playing with it, I put 3, DVD-9 movies (movie only) on a single DVD and 4, DVD-5 movies on a single DVD, again, with very good results :-)
Wishing you the best of luck with your burn -
Pete

i downloaded the software. followed the instructions and it worked great. i can't believe how easy it was. thanks again for your help. i would have never been able to do it without your help. i.m new to this whole computer thing. i just bought my first computer about a year & 1/2 ago , my wife told me i was to old to start this stuff now. i'm pushing 60. but i've been reading and tinkering with it and it's a lot of fun, and with help from great people like you i'm getting accomplished what i want to. thanks again.

Ya i just backed up BoB last night, well dvd 1. I had to set all the menus to Still Shots, looks odd, and i compressed the video a few hundred MB so I could get the DTS sound, but it sill looks amazing. My quetion is with DVD Shrink, the newest version is there any way to cut out the extras, because all i could figure out was to change the compression to the lowest setting for those.
Thanks for the help

SloFire,
No problem, that - use DVDShrink in the re-author mode - just click and drag what you want from the right side of the screen to the left (under the DVD folder thingie) - you will lose "menus" but it'll work just great :-) When I re-author, I just keep the audio I want and the movie - I lose all the additional languages, extras and trailers (sometimes I even get rid of the movie's credits too :-))
Enjoy, don't forget to stop back and let us know how you made out -
BTW - Welcome to you too, we like new blood in our little corner of the world :-)
Pete

I have tried everything to copy Band of Brother and cant get it to copy past 30%. It just stops and locks up. This is really happening with most movies. I have no video files on the pc they are deleted as soon as a burn is complete. I ahve use dvdshrink and tried just one episode at a time and still it locks up. Its getting expensive.The log tells me nothing because it freezes. Anyone had sim. Problems. I have 1gig mem. 200gig HD. I/O Magic dual format DVD RW and a Memorex 52x24x52 CD-RW. Using memorex media.
Help.
