I want to back up my copies of my dvd's.

I don't want to open a discussion about copyrights etc., simply ask if anyone has found software which will allow me to do this without all the technical stuff usually associated with this sort of thing ! For example DVD X copy.....

I want to press enter and stand back and let it happen.

Any info ?

Thank you.

Dunno if this will do the trick but a colleague of mine uses Nero 6 (http://www.nero.com/en/631934351031098.html) for DVD backup purposes.

You'll find most DVD's are DVD 9, dual sided (9GB), DVD-(+)R are single sided (4.7GB). So the problem you have using nero and such like the DVD you are backing up won't fit on a single DVD-R, so not a lot of use really, and probably not as good as DVD X-copy anyway. As they are copy protected anyway you can't just do that as far as I'm aware.

Have a look at www.dvdrhelp.com you'll will find all you need to know there.

I have researched that matter thoroughly and can recommed dvd xcopy xpress. They have a trial version on their website, http://www.dvdxcopy.com The programme performed flawlessly.
