Brand: Pinnacle Systems EAN: 0613570207627 Format: CD Label: Pinnacle Systems Inc. Manufacturer: Pinnacle Systems Inc. MPN: 210100252 Platform: Windows XP Publisher: Pinnacle Systems Inc. Studio: Pinnacle Systems Inc. Editorial Review: Product Description: Pinnacle Systems Inc. Instant Copy 7 . This simple-to-use software makes duplicate (1:1) copies of your CDs to CD and of DVDs to DVD or optionally to CD (VCD, SVCD), as long as the disc does not contain copy-protection. One key feature is that the InstantCopy software is the first of its kind to allow a user to copy a dual-layer 8.4GB DVD-Video onto a 4.7GB recordable DVD or CD. Amazon.com Review: Pinnacle, best known for its video editing software, sets out to make DVD and CD copying a single-click process--and gets close with Instant Copy. Instant Copy has one overriding task in life, to copy the contents of a DVD or CD onto another disc, and it aims to do it as painlessly as possible. At its simplest, you put a blank DVD-R or DVD+RW disk in your DVD writer, a source disk in your DVD player, run the program and click on Copy. For many tasks the default settings within the program won't need changing. The software goes away and copies up to 4.7 GB of data from your source DVD, saving it in an intermediate file on your hard drive before writing it out to the destination drive. This is the default copying method, but you can set up a suitably equipped computer to copy on-the-fly as well, where data is transferred directly from DVD drive to DVD drive, without being stored temporarily in between. You don't have to transfer between two identical disc types. Instant Copy can move video files from DVD to Video CD and Super VCD and also handles CD copying. This means you can break down multi-file DVDs onto a number of CDs, which can be read on just about any computer with a CD drive. And a final caveat. If you're looking at Instant Copy to copy commercial DVDs, such as those movies on rental or on sale at this very site, you can think again. The program specifically excludes any copy-protected DVDs, saying politely why it can't copy a disc which has protection on it. --Simon Williams, Amazon.co.uk Amazon.com Product Description: Featuring a user-friendly interface and unique compression technology, Pinnacle Systems InstantCopy software rapidly burns flawless copies of DVDs and CDs. It makes true 1:1 copies of DVDs that contain all the DVD content, including the main movie, menus, languages, subtitles and bonus material. It also transfers DVD movies to Video CDs and Super VCDs that can be played on nearly any PC or home DVD player. Finally, InstantCopy make perfect bit-for-bit copies of any CD media—including data, music, video and games--thanks to its support of all CD formats, all recordable CD formats and most CD drives.

 Rating:  - quality output, but crummy softwareI had problems with the software going crazy on me once in a while (no real support for it either). Forget copyrighted DVD backups, but at least there's no annoying DVD XCopy-style splash screen. Not good for much as DVD Shrink does more, is more versatile and puts out the same quality compression as far as I can see. Glad I got this free after rebate. Rating:  - Junk Junk Junkver 7.0 No, this will not copy copyrighted DVDs. Pinnacle is well knowen for their infearior software. After reasearching this software, it seems to be a rework of a German developers software (I think its called Vob copy) Pinnacle was cheaper than the german ware, so I bought Pinnacle to own a disk and not download of the net. This is very buggy and hit and miss. It does not reconize my external Sony DVD burner half the time. And must reboot the computer a few times. This will happen ...

But first, you must use dvd decrypter (a free software) so you can copy your dvd to the hard drive first (even the copyrighted for backup purposes, remember that it's illegal to sell copies of copy right material). When using DVD Decrypter, choose to decrypt all files. Then use instant copy to burn the DVD, be sure to use the "customized resize" in the Copy Method of the DVD Menu, so you can take off the extra features (like subtitles, or second audio tracks...) to improve ...
