DVD X Copy v1.5 released

321Studios has just released a new version of their DVD backup software DVD X Copy. Registered customers can download the update. Notice that the new version requires a reactivation.

If you don't have DVD X Copy yet, you can purchase it at DVDXCopy.com. For more information and feedback, please visit the DVD X Copy support forum.



Changes to version 1.5:

• New Gearworks drivers - additional DVD drives are supported. DVDXC
  
• Internal Nero burn engine is disabled. All internal burns will be done with Gearworks engine.
  
• External Nero burn support is still available.
  
• DVDXCopy will no longer complain if the user attempts to back up an Archived DVD, DVDXCopy will simply ignore it and continue to look for an original DVD.
  
• FULL and WIDE screen display for title set selection. Previously all title sets had shown [FULL] all the time, in the disk1 and disk2 list displays.
  
• The "Copy Now" and "Burn Now" buttons now call attention to themselves.
  
• Changes to the license activation system. Sorry folks, everyone will have to re-activate their copy of DVDXCopy.
  
• The tutorial tab has been removed. The tutorial now resides behind a "help" button.
  
• Improved support for episodic disks
  
• Multi-lingual tutorial

  The chief complaint about version 1.5.0 is that the program now asks, "Is this DVD borrowed or a rental?" Many users find this annoying, with some saying it is an insult.

  Several people "care about the click," asking users about their integrity, regardless of their PC's horsepower, with has nothng to do with the issue. Further, if 321 Studios is willing to compromise its coding based on the fear of legal eagles, users might see further watering down of the program, possibly to the point that another software company might be a better option.

  Hey guys who cares about the click. Remember 321 were one of the first to bring this type of software to us. If a click covers thier a~rse legally, so be it. For all those that can't stand the click, take a deep breath, point you mouse, close your eyes and click. There you go, that was'nt that difficult now was it?

  hello just installed dvd x copy 1.5. In the process of trying to copy a movie I continously get the following message. "No dvd burner found". I have supposedly gearworks burner and nero as an external burner. How do I get dvd x copy to recognize either?

• robguy

  First, go to http://www.dvdxcopy.com/faq.htm. Check to see if your burner is listed. Also, ensure you've got the latest firmware version. Also, since you own DVDXCopy, try their technical support option at http://support.321studios.com/

  Jaguire89, you also may want to pose your question, or see if there is already an answer at afterdawn's DVDXCopy discussion forum at http://dvdxcopy.afterdawn.com/

  Please help. I kept getting this message when backing up a DVD which requires 2 disks:
  
  "! File VTS_03_1.VOB
  could not be loaded. Not enough free sectors available."
  
  It was issued on the 1st disk. How do you fix this problem. DVDXCopy version 1.5.1
