can someone please help me??I am in the market for one of the dvd x copy products and don't know what one to get...Can someone please tell me what dvd x copy gold can do and what platinum can do that gold can't...I would really appretiate it.
why do you want one of the xcopy products. I bought x copy and had so many problems with it with regard to player compatibility, inability to backup certain movies, and so forth. If you check the forums, you will find this to be the case.
I did a little research and was led to DVD Shrink (which is free) and found a burning program (recordnow max which cost $30) and have had no problems with compatibility or certain movies being funny. It does require a little more effort from me, but not any more than if I had to switch discs as with xcopy. You can also burn more than one backup without having to ctrl-alt-del to get to the temp file. You also don't get the 321 warning screen.
If you still want dvd xcopy, gold will put a DVD-9 on 2 discs without compression and comes with express which will put a movie only on one disc with compression. I think platinum will do more and has more options but I am not entirely sure.
DVDXC Platinum is DVD Xcopy and DVD Xpress.
Express allows you to either copy
1. the whole disk, or
2. one video and one audio track.
Auto compresses if needed.
DVD Xcopy allows you a lot of options.
If your original movie has those options. You can select different tracks, preview tracks.
Limited editing of compression. If you've selected multiple tracks to copy, you can lower the compression on, for example the move/episodes and raise the compression on the special feature, allowing the movie/episode better resolution.
Although DVD Shrink is a good choice (also free) it does add a couple of extra steps in the backup.
I'm happy with DVD Xcopy Platinum, I stick my original in a dvd reader, a blank in the writer, push go, come back in a hour and the copies done.
During my first ~15 copies, I edited the TS_VOB to get rid of the 321 Studios warning and/or other warnings/videos that I didn't want.
Then I realized I was spending more time cutting then if I just copied and sat thru the screens.
I've been trying dvd x copy platinum and it does the copying but then the program closes down. It doesn't ask me for the blank dvd. I had it hooked up to my laptop and my dvd burner put the dvd in one and the blank in another and it did nothing but copy and then it closed down again. Any help would be appreciate.
