I have to say, so far I am impressed with the performance of this software. Makes perfect backup copies of my Dvd collection.
Just three clicks of a button and you are on your way. Now I don\'t have to worry about the originals being scratched.
-
originals yea umm sure ;) wink wink.
-
Lol, I love these discussions. I always side with the "we have a right for a backup side", but in reality, if you get a damaged disk, you can usually get a free replacement from a store, or a replacement from the company for a couple of bucks in shipping.
Heh, vive la backup!
-
what they charge >>>> cost of a blank dvd-R :p
-
DVDXcopy is ok except that it says: This is an archival backup blah blah blah..
There are better free ways to do it IMO.
-
Express? I got the regular DVD Xcopy. I\'m a bit suspicious of that thing putting 9 gig worth of data and shrinking it down to just a 4 gig DVDR. That quality has to be sacrificed.
-
So far with express the quality seems really good. It removes all the extras on the dvd so I would guess this would mean less compression needed.
-
I know that mods in PSX2 Central crack down on piracy (backups) so why is this thread untouched? Not to be a party pooper, but I\'ve been called out for even mentioning piracy. Where\'s the line, for future reference?
-
I don\'t have the ability to lock / close threads in this part of the forum, otherwise I would of along time ago.
It treads to close to piracy and the fact that known pirates are posting in this thread - makes me think this thread serves no educational purpose, what so ever.
For the record: I support back up\'s. I have backed up my cd\'s, before. I support backing up your games and DVD\'s. I do not support "backing up" Blockbuster\'s movies / games.
-
It\'s not piracy if you own the DVD, now is it? Good. Otherwise, Best Buy wouldn\'t be selling TiVo and DVD Xcopy.
-
yup yup
backing up something you\'ve bought fair and square isnt piracy.

Do you read? Or do you post just to post? Obviously, the latter, so let me quote myself, for you.

Where did I say I was against backing up? I didn\'t. I said I support it.
Now let me pull another quote out.

This was reffering to you mainly. Someone who posted in another thread about goin\' to Blockbuster, buyin\' DVD-R\'s and where to find labels, etc. I\'d get the exact quote, but I deleted your post.
My advice to you, read before you post more of this bull$hit. You know the rules and the fact that you admit to pirtating, puts a big negative against you. So, don\'t even try to turn face and go "backing up is legal" - because we all know that is not your intentions for the program.
-
Isnt it our choice to pirate music/etc. as long as we dont post it, or the happenings, or related material on the forum?
-
^^^^
yes but didn\'t L-I-C just mention the fact he did indeed post about piracy. Eh, I\'m all for closing this thread. Hasn\'t taught me damn thing.
-
Piracy is going to prevail as long as it\'s made as easy as it has been. Sad, but true..
BTW, what happens to your backups if you decide to trade in those games to someplace like GameStop? You\'d have to be Abraham Lincoln to throw away the backup after you don\'t own the real thing anymore.
Nobody does that!
-
Of course L-I-C would say "I throw them away!"
:rolleyes:

I broke no forum rules. I saw nothing in the FAQ regarding the discussion of piracy. Just because I discussed it, it does not mean that this site condones it. If you\'d quit being such a Narc and chill out, you wouldn\'t be such a bitch. But the way things are, I make you turn into one. If you wanna be my bitch, fine. You\'ve been one for a while anyway. I own you. *pushes more buttons*
-
It\'s a common rule and everyone knows it. Don\'t talk about piracy. Call me a Narc, I don\'t care, you signed up for this forum and you\'ll go by the forum rules. Which means - every post I see you or anyone makes related to piracy, I\'ll delete.
And, see\'ing as you have problems reading before you post, I\'ll quote the FAQ for you.
NO WAREZ, PORN, PIRACY discussions in any forum. Be it posts, links to it, pictures, or even watermarks in pictures. If this isn\'t followed, and it will result i
Go to MAIN FORUM / "FAQ FOR NEWBIES" and it is under the "RULES" section.
Wa-LA!
And Spudz - pirate, I don\'t care. Just don\'t talk about it in the forums.
-
That piracy rule was added long after I registered here and since I\'m no newbie, I didn\'t bother reading it.
I have no problems reading....it\'s just that you\'re so predictable, I knew what would get under your skin and I\'m not talking about another piece of metal to add to your "look at me" piercings.

same could be said about robbin\' a chocolate bar at the corner\'s gaz station. Robbing will happen as long as there\'s robber, priracy will happen as long as their\'s pirate.
Promoting and giving pointers as to how do it more easy just helps create more pirate.
