DVD X Copy Platinum is a program which
contains three of the most successful DVD copy program: DVD
X Copy, DVD X Copy Xpress and DVD X Rescue. It supports almost
everything, including unlocking the disc, ripping, shrinking,
splitting, recovering damaged discs and burning! It is the only
program that you will need when you are about to copy a DVD.
Unfortunately 321Studios was closed, so this software is no
longer available. For those that have a version in their hands
the guide is here!
This is the main window. I will explain
what all these buttons do. (1) Opens DVD X Copy Xpress (included)
to copy a DVD with just 1 click! You can read a guide for it
here. (2) Open DVD X Copy Platinum which we are going to use.
(3) Opens DVD X Rescue with which you can save scratched discs.
(4) Opens the settings. For start click (4) to open the settings.
You only have to do this once. (1) Select your
DVD burner (if you don't have a CD writer you will only see
your DVD burner there). (2) Select another temp folder ot leave
this one. Don't worry all the files that are going to be placed
there will be deleted after the disc copy. Leave the others
as they are and click Save As Default. Then click the Advanced
button you can see on your left (not shown here, it's button
2 in the step 1 above).
Insert the DVD in the drive.
Here we are at the main window of this poweful
tool. (1) Select the titles you want. If you are not sure which
ones are the right select them and click the Preview Video button
you see at the right. Select Use Compression (2). If you do
not select this Platinum will split the DVD into 2 parts each
of them you burn in a different DVD¡ÀR. There is
a guide for this function here. Click Next (3).
Here you can do some nice stuff! Select the titles
you want (1) and then by moving the bar (2) you can alter the
level of compression they have, so that you can give more quality
to the movie and not some extras you may have included. (3)
This shows the generall compression. If this is under 45% I
suggest you use 2-disc method using the guide I told you about
above. Anyway you finally click Next. (If you are only copying
one Title click Next without playing with compressions).
Generally the program makes the best selections here so just
click Next. (4)
Finally our copy starts. Easy wasn't it? Well
even if you found things above a little complicated you should
not worry. After 2-3 copies you are going to learn everything.
