1Click DVD Copy Pro
As far as using DVD Copy goes, I'm in danger of repeating myself to often, by saying it's pretty straight forward.
Of course I'm not going to repeat myself and walk you through the program, step by step.
It runs on Windows XP x64 as well as the regular 32-bits version, just as easily.
For those of you who are running a trial, you'll receive a message to this effect.
It tells you that you have 10 days and 3 copies left remaining.
Some of you might be used to programs telling you that you'll have 30 odd days to try a bit of software, before it shuts down.
Not in this case however, with 30 days you can copy a lot of DVDs.
It's just that with 10 days they limit that and ensure that you either buy or leave this powerful tool.
Looking at the interface, you can see it's got its own style.

There's no fussing about with menus to walk through, most of everything you need is right in sight, or a mouse click away.
It shows you the source and destination drives, along with the working folder.
First thing you need to do is to set the source and destination and make sure the working folder has enough space for a temporary copy of the DVD.
The source and destination are usually DVD player/writers, but you can also choose a folder on your hard disk.
Then you set audio and subtitle options, along with the presets, which I'll discuss more later, and you are set to go.
In the display window in the upper right corner, you can see if the title you selected is indeed the part you want to copy.
You can see a question mark in the corner of the display window, this allows you access to the registration of the program.
I'll go into that a little later.
There's a little properties window on the bottom end.
It displays the properties of the movie you are about to copy.
Here you can select weather or not you want the extras, the subtitles etc.
When you start copying this window will display the logs and the progress of the copy.
DVD Copy can automatically detect the compression ratio to fit a single layer DVD or if you set Dual Layer option, to fit a dual layer one.
However when it detects that the DVD can be copied without any compression needed, it will show you and adjust the presets accordingly.
That's very handy.
If you want to copy DVD movies which are copy protected, you'll also need to install copy protection removal software.
It's illegal for DVD movie copy programs to have decryption abilities for DVD, obviously.
There are a number of programs that can help you decrypt, such as AnyDVD or DVD43.
Luckily DVD copy can detect those DVDs as well and it will give you a heads up on it.
