    DVD Xcopy Gold

    Anybody know how to run this damn program? I bought it on sale for $20 (after rebate, regularly $120), yet none of the DVDs I have copied with it work. What gives?

    I've never used the program but there are different types of blank DVD's- make sure you have the right type for your burner. I have a friend who knows more about this but he's away for the weekend- if you remind me I can check with him on Monday

    It depends on your burner...if you have a + or - only burner , then you may run into compatibility problems with your home dvd player. They make +- combo burners that will make the most compatible dvd's, but I think you have to be aware of the settings you choose & make sure they are compatible with your DVD player....a bit of trial & error.

    Do you know how reliable dvd-burners are? I remember the first generation CD burners- like 1 out of every 5 would be bad. Affordable DVD burners are still new, so I would suspect that they might have some reliability issues as well.

    I have a dual format burner +/- r (rw). Not a single one of my homemade discs has been bad, just those I have tried to copy. -R has been compatible on every single player I have tried them on. It seems to be mostly an issue of copying.

    here's a stupid hint that works on cd's that are copyright protected
    hold down the shift key when you insert the original dvd- it disables the auto-run, which may contain the copyright protection. I'm not guaranteeing anyting- but it's worth a shot.

    DVD Xcopy is supposed to burn any and all DVDs. All legal through Fair use. I bought it orginally to burn my sisters dvds so I could mail her copies of them in Kuwait.

    Sounds more like your DVD Player can't handle burned DVDs.
    Can you run burned CD's on it?

    I'm doing my DVD's like Imbondz. Rip'em, encode them and burn them on regular CD-R.
    I can burn anything with the program I got.

    Log,

    it's illegal to copy DVD's.
    So in a way it is a national secret.
