I have brand new 4600 Dell. I downloaded the x-copy free trial version and started reading and writing movies. It says after 3 trial burns you have to buy it. But If you keep clicking on evaluate, it lets you do an unlimited amount. That is not the issue.After I burned a few movies to +r dvd's it would not let me play them in my computer or on any dvd player that I tried at Circuit City. I found that if I put in a movie that I purchased and let it start up and then stop it, then insert a burned dvd it would start right up. Why is that? I just downloaded the Decrypter and Put in Lord of the Rings. But the size was to big. So I put in the one that I burned, and it was half the size of the one I purchased? Soon I will test the one that I copied and then recopied to see if that one will play on a + or - r dvd player. That would mean it takes 2 blank discs to have a compatitable movie to play on the TV. Thanx
Hi chefness. If you want to get "unstumped", download and use DVD Shrink v3.0 beta 5. Not only is it free, but much more flexible than DVDXCopy / DVDXcopy Xpress (and not "This is a backup" screen either). If you want get the feel of it before you try it, you can view some of the guides at http://www.dvdshrink.info/guides.php All you will need is a software to burn the "shrunk" files. If burning to DVD-Rs I'd suggest burnatonce, another free and user-friendly software. http://www.dvdshrink.info/burnatonce.php
