123 Copy DVD- movie backups made easy

Great job Ssseth! This is a very interesting product.

Great review Ssseth. I´m looking forward to your next publication. Regarding the product just review I agree with the author; easy and simple. A perfect movie backup program for "beginners".

Congratz Ssseth - keep more coming

Excellent review! Very thorough! I have to say, though, that there's another bug that I've contacted the company about. After installing the product, in Windows Explorer (the file manager), volume labels don't show up anymore. In other words, if you have a CD titled "MyStuff" and you put it in your drive and open Windows Explorer it won't show "MyStuff (D" anymore; it'll show the generic "DVD-RW Drive (D" instead. I really dislike this, because when I place a CD or DVD in the drive I expect to see the volume label name; it's how I confirm I've put the right disc in the drive. Uninstalling the software doesn't fix this problem; I had to use System Restore to get correct volume label operation back. I also notice that any discs with autorun exe files no longer function. You will have to start such discs manually. The e-mail I sent to the company was met with a response saying support for 123 Copy DVD has passed to another organization, Globalstar Software (at www.globalstarsoftware.com). The strange thing is, Globalstar appears to be a game company and the web site doesn't present any support options for 123 Copy DVD. Me thinks the original manufacturers of 123 Copy DVD were sued out of business. So for any newcomers to this product, I'd suggest, if you're going to run it on a regular basis, that you create a System Restore point (and give it a specific name), install the product and run it, uninstall it, and then run System Restore to go back to the point you created previously.

I used 123 Copy DVD for about a month after some problems with installation. I had to swap my cd burner with dvd burner in as drive D to get it to work after reading cd freaks artical about not seeing the second drive. After a month I got a software update from 123 Copy DVD and the program would not reconize my DVD burner. I emailed tech support and after sending them computer information they responded,Sorry we do not garantee the program to work with your DVD burner,see list of supported drives. I have a fairly new NEC DVD_RW ND-3500AG. For some reason it did work for a month and quit after the update. Since then I have found free software that works much better called DVDSHRINK. 123 COPY DVD need to support newer drives. :r

I tried to use this program. I dont know why it copies only movies without menu and any other things on DVD. :c. When you try to play it any DVD player it begins directly the movie.

I bought 123copydvd because on the product box it says it will copy any dvd. Their claim holds no truth. I tried to back up some movies and was able to back up about 70% of them. I wrote to tech support, and one time they ask me to download a plugin, and another time I had downloaded their upgrade. The result was that it was no better. And last time I wrote to tech support I did not get any response. I cant put all the complaint on the faulty claim 123copydvd makes. I have to put some on myself. I bought the software from Circuit City after reading the good reviews of people who dont know what they are talking about. So now I will only accept the reviews of the proffesionals like PC magazine. They recommend DVDcloner4. But dont take my word. Do your own homework.

I have a friend who has 123 copy dvd. I use Nero along with dvd shrink. He is constantly having me copy movies for him, because his 123 copy dvd won't do the job. When it does do the job, the quality sucks, and it doesn't include the menu due to size compression.

hgjngjkh,

Umm How can i get this??

DON"T BUY THIS SOFTWARE!!!! IT DOESN"T WORK AND THERE IS NO TECH SUPPORT!!!!! I"ve been trying to get my money back for weeks, to no avail.

This program may be free and powerful, but its VERY slow. :r :+

iT DOESN,T WORK MAYBEE BECOUSE TRIAL EDITION BUT DON'T RECOMEND

Thank you

I installed the trial to see for myself if it hold their claim. The program finds the source Drive but not the destination (DVD burner) drive. I was really excited about this product and ready to stop by Office Max to purchase it (I don't like to purchase downloads). Still, searching for the DRIVE F, please insert Disc... I'm glad I saved a trip top the store and my money is still in my pocket. :r :r

After installing this, data/music dvd discs were not being recognised in my D or E drive, so I uninstalled this software but still left with the problems did anyone else come across this too, and if so can anyone give me any solutions please. Also I have used spyware/virus check but nothing came up so basically this sofware screwed my computer!!! :r

If you want velocity buy a faster one ! :d I´m very happy with it !

after installing 123dvdcopy netiher my wireless connection or my sound worked correctly. there is somehting wrong with this software.

this software is crap! the authors of this crap should be in JAIL! if there is a class action lawsuit you better believe I'm going to get in on it! BLING Software, The BLING shoulda been my first warning but it's my fault for buying this junk! 123 copy DVD, WHAT A PILE OF CRAP AND EXTREME RIPOFF!!!!!!. I sincerely hope you drop the soap when you are Impriosened

I have used this software in the past its easy to use and is FREE.....

WASTE OF MONEY

Interesting.. I tried making a copy of my series anime.. it copies it to my computer just fine.. then when it asks to put in a blank dvd, i comply of course, then, oddly enough, even tho directed straight to the file, it cannot access the ifo... and the help file? pfft... *sigh* back to the store for this one :c

This program works. If your experiencing problems its because you messed something up! The program has copied any new release without fail (even double layered) This program is not a waste of money and in fact is simple to use and works without making any adjustments!! If your trying to use it and it wont copy the dvd try burning only the movied to a single layer if ther is enough room!!

WRONG. This product is a piece of shit and does not work. All I get is error messages. Support is useless. I tried both their "fixes". When I buy a product I want it to work right out of the box. I do not expect to waste my time trying to get their product to work. That's not my job! Support says now; "We have found the cause of this error and have fixed the issue, which will be available in our new release shortly. I am very sorry for this inconvenience", but they won't respond when I ask when to expect the "new release" Since I bought this at FRYS I am now stuck with a $30 pice of worthless plastic. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON COPY DVD123!!!

I bought 123 COPY DVD at Walmart during Christmas 08, so it has not been removed from the shelves. I also have had the company send me an opportunity to upgrade to Gold for 9.99. I was going to do this because it started out working fantastic and then problems arose. I contacted the company and they replied that it might be because I had multiple burners on my computer and I should disable them. I have had no luck since. I really don't like the fact that they won't give a phone number. My recent problem with it is that it copies the warning label and the start up, but nothing after that.

THIS IS A PIECE OF SHIT PRODUCT CLONE DVD IS BETTER AND 123 COPY DVD 09 DOES NOT COPY OR BACKUP REAL DVDS THATS A LIE TURNS THEM INTO DATA N THERE SUPPORT IS TRASH THEY DIDNT WANT HELP AT ALL N SWEAR IT WAS DVD PLAYER WHEN I WATCH BURNED MOVIES ON THERE ALL THE TIME.

thank's is simple aplication !

thank's is simple aplication !

so with this software you can burn a movie from your computer onto a dvd r...??? i always get an error and nothing plays

Horrible product with no tech support. I purchased mine at Office Depot in October 2008, so its definitely on the shelf. I had the same problem as one of the other users did when prompted to burn the copy onto an empty dvd, error message would pop up saying it couldnt' find the .ifo/s, whatever the hell that is... I now have a bunch of dvds that wont play and i started on my old 5 yr old pc and now have tried it on a atate of the art newly built unit. The program sucks ass!! Buy this if you plan to be pissed off!!

Get DVD Flick it works great and it is FREE!!

Program is great, the only way you would have a problem is if you dont know how to use a computer. Installed it then updated and i have never not been able to copy a dvd, with out the menu features. My thoughts, great program even though its not free its legit
