Hi: Recently, I acquired a Pioneer DVR-106D External DVD Drive, which came with NTI burning software, something called NTI Backup Now! software. I am seeking a solid opinion on NTI Backup Now! Is it worth $50? Thanks, wlloyd
http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/NTI_Backup_Now_Deluxe_3_0/4505-3513_16-20783804.html It seems very expensive to me. Nero 6 Ultra used on a Pioneer DVR-104 this end..
Thanks, Herbsman. Seems that my offer of $50 is an appreciable discount from the $80 shown in the ZDNet review. Until I can find how to copy DVDs in a reasonable amount of time, I do not plan to invest in any more related software. I "blew it," I think by plunking down for Replicant2, which won't overcome encryption. Talk about "pricey," they should give that software away. Any tips on copying an encrypted DVD within 2 1/2 hours? Thanks, wlloyd
I use DVD Decrypter (free) DVD2One (about €39) Nero 6 Ultra (forget the price of this , but you can get 30 day demo) But you can save some money perhaps by using DVD Shrink instead of DVD Decrypter & DVD2One (as DVD Shrink is free also + it unencrypts & compresses all in one). I persoanlly think good burning software should be supported (ie; paid for) lol Anyway , feel free to ask for any other advice - [bold]herb[/bold] P.S. The method I mentioned above that I use takes about 1hr & thats cos I can only burn at X2 : ]-~ _X_X_X_X_X_[small] When you consider that human hair is typically between 50-100 microns and a Rizla Silver paper is just 20, that's very thin indeed[/small]
Herb: I have learned over the years that whatever the endeavor KEEP IT Simple. Please tell me what I would need with Nero Ultra 6 to copy DVDs. I suspect that my system is incompatible with DVD Shrink(and its children). Thanks, wlloyd
You seriously need to sort your system spec out as I dont know how you have your burner installed etc.. But if (as you stated on another thread) DVD Decrypter takes 90 minutes to successfully rip a DVD then I would say there is something that needs sorting. I dont think it's down to the software basically (I could be wrong but its the way it sounds). Have you tried altering Primary / Secondary settings , Slave / Master etc. Maybe the jumper switch setting ? [bold]peace[/bold]
