 Works great, no problems but you need a decryption tool! August 17, 2006

I don't know why people are griping so much about Intervideo's DVD Copy. This is a great, user friendly program for burning DVD's. It's sole purpose is to copy DVD's to DVD, VCD, SVCD formats. But, and there's always a but, you need to decrypt most DVD's first before ripping them.
If you own an extensive DVD library like me, you want to use copies of your very best DVD's that you watch most often instead of the originals. These are often copy protected. Most people understand that you need to decrypt a copyrighted DVD first before burning/ripping it.
The best tools for decrypting are DVD Decrypter for straight across decrypting of 4.5GB DVD's or less in size or DVD Shrink for DVD's that use Dual Layer technology to get up to 8.5GB's out of the commercial DVD. Most commerical DVD's now come in around the 7.2 GB to 7.9 GB size and are rarely larger than this and usually smaller in most cases.
If you want something to author your own DVD's, DVD Copy isn't for you. This is really just a compression copy or straight copy DVD program to put your movie on a DVD, or onto CD's using VCD or SVCD format or DivX if you really feel the need to use that format.
When I purchased the program I knew what I was getting and I got exactly what I needed. I did my research first. Regardless of what others have written here, take my word for it, it's easy to use and won't disappoint but you need to have an understanding of the DVD ripping technologies first before embarking in the DVD backup of your DVD libary.
 Nice Promise... Too Bad It Doesn't Work At All January 31, 2004

I have been playing around with my new DVD burner (as probably a lot of people have been) and have created a number of DVD's from home movies. I bought this product because it claimed you could just pull off the chapters you wanted from a given DVD. I thought it would be a nice way to create some "greatest hits" DVD's for the grandparents instead of re-creating and recoding the raw AVI files.
The product installed fine. I grabbed a DVD off my shelf and it said that it was copyrighted, so I couldn't do anything with it. Well, that was fine. That wasn't why I bought it. Then, I put in one of my homemade DVD's. The product continually crashed whenever any homemade DVD was in the drive. Now, my six year old DVD player doesn't have any issues with the DVD+R's I've burned. Every time I pop one into my DVD drive on my PC, the DVD player software kicks in. And I'm pretty sure I didn't put Macrovision on our Christmas footage. So what gives?
The product came with a short booklet (I loved the quick paragraph on how to defeat the copy protection part of the software) and I did read it and look at the website quickly. That's not to say I didn't read everything that has to do with the product I bought, there just wasn't much to read and no patches, no potential fixes, etc.
So, I have a $50 program that doesn't work on copy protected material, but doesn't work on non-copy protected material either. Kind of defeats the purpose of owning it.
... I want my money BACK ! September 22, 2003
I was intrested in this program for the Divx copy features. The more I read about it, the better it kept sounding. I download the trail version and it worked ok. DvD copy was on sale at the local software store so I bought it. After installing it, it did not work and froze my system up. 1. If no DVD is in, the program will start up and after putting a DVD in it will freeze my system except for the mouse. 2. If a DVD is in on the startup, program will freeze. I went to the website for patches and there was none. There are 4 other programs on the web site that they say the software needs to run. It is beyond me how a trail piece of software will work and the full version will not. I would have taken this back, because I never had software behave so badly before, but like a idiot I wrote the serial # on the cd with a marker. My advice is make sure you shop around other companys software and try a trail version first. Although this did me no good. And make sure you like the interface before you buy. To be fair, I have not called (Toll call) the support line or emailed support about this problem. So I cant comment on the companys responce on fixing it.
 Easy to make copies of movies August 26, 2003

This software makes it easy to make copies of DVD movies. It can convert and copy a DVD-9 disc onto a single DVD+/-R disc with just two or three clicks. The only drawback is that you have to use a ripper/descrytor to get rid of the copy protected encrytion and put the image onto the disk first. The ripper/descrytor that I used is "DVD Descrytor" which is a freeware. The picutre quality is great.
