DVD X Copy Platinum is
no longer the program you can use to burn for your hard drive! The
pressure from the movie industry has forced the authors of DVD X Copy
Platinum to remove the possibility for burning for your hard drive.
This, and the draconian anti-piracy protections, will prevent you from
legitimate DVD copying as well. Too bad!
DVD X Copy Platinum for PlayStation games is also not usable any more.
Many games have unbreakable copy protections, so even if you succeed in
copying the DVD, the copy you will have will be a not working one. But
you may want to try a couple of times because you still have a small
chance of success.
The reason why all this is happening is because many people abused the
features of DVD X Copy Platinum and performed illegal activities. It is
sad that because of abusers honest users are deprived of DVD X Copy
Platinum. The program was banned in 2003 and there are no more genuine
copies of it, not to mention technical support.
Fake copies of the real 321 Studio product are still available but they
have nothing to do with the supreme quality of the original. You have
no guarantee that these cheap programs will work for you. There is no
support either and the worst is that these fakes can be discontinued at
any time, if authorities manage to capture their authors.
If you are looking for a program for personal use, DVD
NeXt Copy is probably the best choice. You can use it to
create legal copies of DVDs you own. Another good choice is 1 Click DVD
Copy and it is very user-friendly. Both applications have support and
they also offer additional modules, so you can use them to make quality
copies of the movies you like.
One of the great things of legal DVD copying programs is that they
offer support. So, if you are stuck in the middle of an activity and
you need help, you can always call them. Very often legal DVD copying
programs include 1 year of free updates, which is also very useful,
when you have in mind how frequently protection techniques change.
DVD X Copy PlayStation games can be used only if you manage to find a
crack for the codes, which are built into the program. For many people
this is unacceptable and if you are reluctant to do it personally, ask
a friend to help you. Forums are one of the places where you can ask
for help, if you are searching for a solution how to copy a DVD for
personal use only. Don’t risk copying DVDs for profit because
the penalties are severe.
I must admit that I do figure out why companies are using such
draconian measures to protect their products from unauthorized copying.
But on the other hand, I don’t think it is fair to make
honest people, who want to make a personal backup copy of the DVDs they
own, pay such a high price. Anyway, they have already paid once when
they have bought the DVD. But it is good that there are workarounds and
despite the fact that DVD X Copy Platinum is not on the market anymore,
there are still alternatives to make a legal DVD copy for personal use.
