Thus far I have been using 321 Studios DVD Xcopy Platinum to backup my collection. It was pricey but it's been working pretty well.

Recently, however, I've run across a whole string of titles that it has issues with. (Pirates of the Caribean, Beatles Anthology, etc) The problem, according to 321, is that their software has problems with "undercompressing" when it's a complex title with a ton of features so the end result won't burn onto a DVDR.

They're supposed to address it in the next 4.x version of their software but who knows how long we'll have to wait or how much it will cost.

At any rate, so far I've been able to copy just about everything after messing around with settings in DVD XCopy. If it won't copy in Platinum or Express, then I open it like it's a damaged DVD in their attached "DVD Rescue" program and that usually does the trick.

However, there have been a few titles that didn't even work on Rescue or that I didn't want to burn all of the features or whatever.

So I've tried the DVDShrink / Copy2DVD with mixed results. At least once, unexplainably, Ive ended up without any audio or the wrong audio. And another time I made a coaster with major write errors (something that has never happened with 321 Studios stuff.)

So finally to my question now that you know my DVD-burning history:

I know there are a ton of programs out there: DVD2One, CloneDVD et al. But does anyone have a suggestion for a program that will burn DVDs to one DVD, no splitting, and that's fairly foolproof? That won't make coasters? And doesn't require a ton of legwork and jumping through hoops to get a decent copy?

I need something to fall back on when I can't get anything of 321's products to work for me. For instance, right now I'd like to backup my Beatles Anthology DVD purchases and 321's will NOT back it up, no matter what I try.
