DVD Copy 4 Platinum H.264 By Intervideo

The program copies OK, but try to compile a DVD with individual items from various DVDs (its "merge" function). There is no facility for creating your own menu and buttons. It creates this automatically, BUT THE CAPTIONS ARE ILLEGIBLE!!!

Never worked. Tried with 3 different OS's; 2k, XP Pro, and XP Pro 64 BIT and 2 different burners; SONY & Plextor, with the same terrible results. All this horrible application is good for is filling your hard drive with huge garbled files or DVD coasters (the couple times it actually attempted to burn the garbled files). NO SUPPORT! NONE! NADA! ZIPPO! PHANTOM COMPANY! Worst application I have ever purchased, without exception. STAY AWAY FROM EVERYTHING INTERVIDEO AT ALL COSTS! NOTHING BUT ENDLESS FRUSTRATION AND BLUE SCREENS!

Since I've gotten my dvd burner I've tried many different programs to copy my dvd's. I used Nero (which came with my computer) and downloaded countless trial versions of software trying to find a program that would let me copy all of my dvd's. Nero worked great as long as I wanted to make an exact copy and it was under 10 tracks, but any dvd's I had that had more than that would give me errors. I recently downloaded the trial for dvd copy 4, and right away I was able to make exact copies of ALL OF MY DVD'S. I bought the full version off Amazon and in the book it showed me so many different things. It easily let me merge dvd's, copy the files to my computer, convert the video for my iPod and so much more without any problems. So far this program is the best (and one of the cheaper) programs I have seen and I highly recommend it to anyone who is having problems with their dvd burning software.

I purchased a copy of DVD Copy 4 and a couple of weeks later they released version 5. I filled out their online support form to get a free upgrade since it's in their 90 day window for free upgrades and they never responded. Sent them an Email a few days later and still no response. I just called them at 5:45pm PST and it says their office is closed and their hours are 9:00am to 6:00pm PST. This company is a joke, stay away!

This software is a total waste of money. It does not even deserve as star. The 3 easy steps to copy a DVD are actually 3 complicated steps
