    I have DVD X copy platinum version V.4.03.8. I have used it for a while with minimal problems. Now all of sudden reading and writing discs takes about half the normal time and they do not work correctly when finished. Thee discs freeze up or skip when I play them. Why would it strart doing this all of a sudden? PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hi there,

    The problem with DVD X copy platinum version V.4.03.8 and all those 1 click software, they all burn at MAX SPEED.

    Never burn at max speed, use an new software that will let you choose the burning speed.

    Use quality media (Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim) and do not burn faster than 4x.

    This should eliminate most of your playback problems.

    when was the last time then was a clean install done.This means you reformatted your whole pc and then reinstalled everything back on.
