Unlike the last couple of DVD rippers, WinX DVD Copy Pro should let you backup the DVDs you've bought without having to use another app like Passkey to handle the DRM. Caution though, if you're planning on burning the copy to disc -- I've read that they're starting to use Cinavia protection on some DVDs now, which is pretty much unbeatable, but only a problem if your player supports it... it's part of the license requirements for Blu-Ray, so all current players have it, but not older DVD players & not unlicensed software players like Leawo's.

James Brady commented that WinX DVD Copy Pro offers: "No dvd 9 to dvd 5 compression." IMHO that's pretty much useless nowadays. The picture quality you get with most current DVDs is purposely lower, just good enough to maybe be acceptable, as a way to discourage piracy. Adding more video compression usually makes quality far worse -- unlike HD video there's little or no quality to spare.

Often if you back up just the main video, with just the audio track & optionally subs that you use, the DVD will fit on a single layer disc. The old but free DVD Shrink will let you trim stuff like movie credits off the end, which can sometimes make the difference you need. Or you can burn a dual layer disc, which all current burners will handle -- use the free ImgBurn for best results. Note: DVD Shrink [like Nero Recode] can shrink DVD content, & if the proposed result is in the 90s you should be good to go -- more than that & you'll easily see quality loss.

The ad copy for this offer says: "copy DVD to ISO image", which is a somewhat popular option, but one that always puzzles me, as I've yet to see a great reason to do that... Years & years ago it was sometimes necessary to have an ISO & mount it for software players like PowerDVD to play them, but as I said, that was years & years ago.

A final note: DVD burners are cheap nowadays, going for between $10-$20 on sale. Their drive mechanisms wear out, plus there were some pretty poor drives out there before they got so cheap. If you have poor results using WinX DVD Copy Pro, please consider that it may be time to buy a new drive. If you have trouble reading discs, or burning them, or if they won't play everywhere else, it may well be time for a replacement.
