There are no best specs but here is what I recommend at least. 128 megs ram, 20 gig hard drive, and 750 mhz processor.

Hey Big,

Just a note. I am running 512mb RAM, 733Mhz, P3, with only a 13GB hard drive. I will still do a 1 DVD backup in about 58 mins. What is the complete time that yours will do a 4.2 gig single DVD?
Just wondering.

I'm using a Toshiba DVD-ROM to read from and I have the output disc ready box checked. It's pretty nifty. Big, you get my PM?

If you are making direct backups its best to be running at least windows 2000.

Hey bugzy, he primarily uses dvdxcopy. He just got dvd2one as well and has used that too. I really think you should give dvdxcopy another go bugzy but with the newest version available now, 1.4.1
