i downloaded a cracked version. I couldnt get it to work. When trying to transfer the movies files from one box to the other it would error then close. So i deleted it and just use smartripper and ifoedit.
i had same problem with program and downloaded and tried it as soon as i moved the track to the burn section the program crashed and exited ......does any one know why ....the os im running is windows me and i have a sony dru-500a burner, can any one recommend a better back up program to use?
thanx in advanced
It is not supported by Windows ME. Only XP and 2000 right now. They are working on a ME and 98 patch.
thanx for the info i was wondering why it kept crashing on me......
No prob. I am upgrading to XP just so I can use this prog.
good idea i would do that except a game i play called halflife is bad on xp so ive heard .....do u have any advice on a good disc to disc program i can use ive had my burner for 3 days now already and i have yet to burn one dvd :confused:
Dvd X Copy is really it. The only other way of copying dvd movies is going through a long process of ripping and editing and bunch of other crap. I tried doing it but got fed up with it. That is why I am upgrading.
oh man that sucks pretty bad ....hey thanks for all your help ....hmm i guess i might have to upgrade then
Unless you really really like Half Life....upgrade. It would be worth it. XP is a much more stable OS than ME also.
yah i just talked to another hl player and he uses xp too ....so full steam ahead on upgrade to XP .......thanx for your help bighap....so once i do upgrade to xp my DVD X COPY will work?
Back up a DVD with DVD X COPY with no problems :-)
DVD: 8mm PAL
DVDxCOPY ver 1.2.2
WinXP Pro + SP1
512mb ram
Athlon 1800+
Pioneer 103
Took about an hour, did it perfect used Nero API to burn the disks.
Only problem is that it puts a "Advert" for 321 Studios on the backup :-( . Besides that no problems at all, if I can be of any help to any of u guys let me know, i will try my best :-)
Wow you didn't waste much time getting XP. Is the advo a still screen at the start of the dvd?
Yeah, a bit of a pain, but someone is SURE to sort that one out ;-)
I am sure they will. Is Half Life working for ya?
Got the wrong bloke, this is ^BoXy^ :D
Whoops. Got the two 'B' names mixed up.:p
im the one you were talkin about with dvd x copy bighap ...u confused me with boxy ....i havent upgraded yet having hard time getting windows xp :(
Are you trying to download XP instead of buying it?

what version of nero burning engine do u have ...i tried to use nero first and it told me to use a certain copy of nero ...im guessing the newest one?
In dvdxcopy, is there a way to get all of the extras on 1 disc and the movie on the other if it is short enough?

Only DVDXCOPY V1.3 supports PAL movies.
It checks automatically to see if the main film would fit on one disk minus the extras, if it doesn't you get the lot on two disks.
I'm now using the program and the resulting disks play in all my stand alone DVD players.
Just been trying to remove the "Warning Screen" from the start of the the DVD. Anyone got any ideas ?

Well all, I'm having a handful of problems with DVD X Copy. ( Sorry Bighap I didn't update you sooner) I got the beta version first, Only got one DVD to backup successfully (Goldmember actually). Now that I have the full version everything seems to be going okay except that DVD X Copy always splits the DVD up into 2 discs. I don't know how to make it fit on one.
My biggest problem now is that every second disc hangs and freezes in my panisonic dvd player. I read on the website that this is a known problem and they are supposed to have an update to fix it. I'll let every one know on my progress.
so far I have successfully backed up several DVDs onto 1 disc, and several split between 2 discs.
I believe that I just have the Beta version as well, but seems to be working. What I do, is just select ALL titles over, and hit copy. When it has copied all that can fit onto 1 disc, I burn that disc. I then test out that first disc to see if it fit the whole movie on it. 9 times out of 10 the whole movie plus beginning intro/menu is on the first disc, so I just don't even bother letting it create a second disc. The only stuff that shows up on the 2nd disc is deleted scened, etc. which to me isn't really worth it.
If the whole movie didn't fit onto the first disc (ex. Lord of the Rings) then I allow it to create the second disc.
I hope that made sense, and helps.

Which DVD's are the 9 out of 10 that said they needed 2 discs and then they fit on one? My version says "split after chapter" and that tells me where the split between dvd's will be. Tell me some other DVD's that you have backed-up on one disc and I will try them out. Thanks.
off the top of my head, try these three movies
Mr. Deeds
Austin Powers 3: Goldmember
Van Wilder
All 3 said they required 2 discs, so I began copying/burning like the required 2, but I just stopped after the first disc, and the whole movie was on the first.

i tried goldmember but it would only let me backup onto two dvdrs even though i removed all the extras it still only split it into two and when i tried to move the chapters up so it would fit onto one disk when i got to the second last chapter it said it was too big?it would still only let me put it on two disks.
so how did everyone else do it?
which version of dvdxcopy do you have i have dvdxcopy 1.2.2

everytime i try to back up any movie on my dvdxcopy it always freezes during the burning stage i have the latest update for nero 5.5.9.17 but i am using dvdxcopy 1.2 does that have anything to do with it?

DVDXCOPY V1.3 is the only version that supports PAL movies properly.
This could be your problem.
Bugzy: There is a newer version of Nero available. You can download the update for free at nero.com (www.nero.com).

ok where can i get a version of DVDXCOPY V1.3 ? i will try that see if i get any joy with that version but can anyone tell me how to put a movie on one disk only instead of two?
You can download the update at www.dvdxcopy.com. Not all movies will fit onto one dvd-r. Try Mr. Deeds, Austin Powers 3: Goldmember, or Van Wilder. They are suppoed to fit one one disc, minus the extras I am assuming.

lollyruk, I went ahead and sent you a PM, but I figured I would post in here as well, just to let everyone else know how I got Goldmember to fit on one disc.
here is what I do. Start DVD X Copy and insert the movie, and select ALL titles to copy. Don't worry about removing any of them, just select them ALL. Go ahead and press the button to begin the build. When it has saved all that it can fit onto 1 disc onto your hard drive, it will tell you to go ahead and put in the blank DVDR. Go ahead and do it, and then press the copy button. When it is done burning onto the 1st blank DVDR, it will tell you to insert the movie again. Remove the 1st DVDR, and go test it in your DVD player. The whole movie should have fit onto that 1st disc. I just test it out by skipping through all chapters and making sure you get to the credits at the end of the movie. All that should remain for the 2nd blank disc is the extra's/deleted scenes, etc. At this point I just scrap it, and don't even bother with the 2nd half. I hope this makes sense, and feel free to ask me any more questions or to clarify anything. Let me know how it works out for you!
I did the same thing for Van Wilder. On the original Van Wilder disc, it will let you play the movie in either widescreen or full screen. Since I only burned enough for one disc, my backup only plays in widescreen, and not full screen, which I am ok with.
Let me know if any of you have any questions.

alder which version of dvdxcopy are you using?
dude
i am using versioin 1.3 so far i have tried 12 dvd-s all have backed up ok including the dvd-5's to single dvd-r's
okey i upgraded to dvdcopy 1.3 and neros newest version but i also successfully copied and burned the dvd but when i went to play the newly burned disk in my player all i got was a frozen screen and skipping audio?
Try playing it on your computer and see how it does. Your dvd player might not like your media or dvd-r all together.
bighap have u ever viewed the preview split in dvdxcopy and it was distorted, well thats how the movie turns out? happens on everymovie preview split is distorted and thats how all the burned movies come out and i also tried it in my dvd drive and comes out the same way audio and video distortred?? no idea?
Hell, I havn't even got my copy of XP yet so I can use the software. Should be up and running no later than Saturday.

Using dvdxcopy1.3 and the latest ver of nero i first i used the nero in dvdx to burn the movie and it does nothing in my player and on my cpu it gives me an error with a bunch of numbers. So i tried again using stand alone nero to burn the dvd-r and the all that came up in both my player and cpu is the dvdxcopy warning screen. Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? By the way the movie was Hey Arnold and it fit on one dvd-r. i've made 2 coastes don't want anymore:confused:
