Hello everyone. It's been a few years since my last post. I was just wondering if there is a better way to copy Dual Layer DVD's to a DVD-r. I have been and currently use the following software:
AnyDVD
Nero 7
DVDxCopy Xpress
Nero does all my burning with the exception of DVD-9 to DVD-5. I've used tons of programs to compress DVD's (DVD2ONE is my second favorite), but none are as easy as DVDxCopy Xpress. Is there a newer program that is as easy as DVDxCopy Xpress that runs a little faster or more reliable (Xpress sometimes freezes)?
I've tried it with Nero 7, but it was complicated and took a LONG time.
I use AnyDVD so it doesn't matter if the software doesn't disable encryption.
Thanks!!

What kind of times are you looking for? I use AnyDVD and DVDdecrypter, DVDShrink, and imgburn and my time from start to finish is about 45 minutes. Very reasonable for me.
Cheers.

Actually, the problem is Nero Recode took a long time to run and took a few minutes to set up. DVDxCopy is less than a minute to set up (just put the DVD in and hit Start) and a whole DVD is completely finished burning in less than an hour.
I guess the burning time isn't as important as the simplicity. My girlfriend likes to burn DVD's also (using my PC) and Xpress is absolutely simple for her. Nero recode and DVD Shrink are a bit complicated for a beginner user.
Is there anything out there as simple as DVDxCopy Xpress?

Thanks, I'll try Clone DVD and report back. I'll be at CES this week, so I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to try this tonight.

I just tried Clone DVD. It worked great, but still not nearly as simple as DVDxCOPY Xpress. Any other suggestions?

yeah i use 1click dvd copy. it can be found at 1clickdvdcopy.com . it lets you "try before you buy" ( 3 full copies ) . its as easy as it sounds one click. and i have both 1 click and CloneDVD2 along with AnyDVD for both and im never disappointed. so for ease of use i'd go with 1click its fast and reliable but CloneDVD2 is also a good choice.

Your freezing problems could be due to dvdxcopy xpres's inability to set burn speed and defaults to max or poor quality media. I suggest clonedvd2, DVD Shrink, or Nero recode2 and set burn speed to 4x.

I finally got a chance to try 1 click dvd copy. It worked GREAT!!!! I'll use that for everything execpt DVD-9 to DVD-9. For that, I'll just keep using Nero. Thanks again for your help. To anyone who hasn't tried this program...try it. It's worth it.

Your slow times may not be a much software as Hardware. Diffrent burners read faster than others, I think Plextor and BenQ are the fastest readers. Now back to encoding say for example DVD Shrink you can only reach the full potential of your drive reading speed with a faster cpu.800mhz,mem256,read and burn4X took about 45 minutes to an hour, NEW set up cpu3.4gig P4,mem1gig read and burn8X 18 to 20 minutes. Western digital Rapture SATA hard drives can't hurt there the fastest on the market.
Good Luck

Spacedust....I fully understand, but software DOES make a difference. Although 1clickdvd copy uses the same pcoffin driver it burned movies about 5 minutes faster than DVDxCOPY XPRESS using the same hardware and same media.
I definitely recommend 1 click DVD copy, combined with AnyDVD to anyone who wants an inexpensive, easy way to back up their DVD's.

I definitely would say this is not inexpensive at 60.00 for 1click and 40.00 for AnyDVD. You would be better to buy the AnyDVD and CloneDVD combo for 60.00. Just my two cents.
