III.) How to Use the WinX DVD Copy Pro?
As you can see in the program left-panel, there are many copy/clone options available. You can clone the full DVD or just copy the DVD title only. To use the software with the best settings, follow the steps below:
To Clone DVD to DVD
You can use the software to clone or duplicate a DVD to a new blank DVD-R/RW. Use it to copy the DVD-9 or DVD-5 with lossless quality.
1. Insert a DVD disc to copy to your computer DVD/optical drive. Launch the software and in the left panel, click on the “Clone DVD to DVD” option (on the left menu).
2. Set the “Source DVD”, which is your DVD drive; and also set the “Target DVD Burner”. Assume your computer only has one DVD drive, then both the source and target DVD burner are the same.
Note: If you have only one DVD drive, make sure it’s a DVD-RW drive instead of just a DVD-R drive.
3. Set the “Temp Folder” by clicking on the “Browse” button and choose a drive in your computer hard disk that have 9 GB of free space.
4. The rest of the settings just leave it intact. Click on the “Run” button to start the cloning process by copying the DVD content to the temp drive/folder.
5. When the entire disc was copied to the temp folder/drive, a new pop-up will appear and you need to remove the old disc & insert a blank DVD disc into your DVD-RW drive and click the “Burn” button to complete the entire cloning process.
To Clone DVD to ISO
The process of cloning DVD to ISO is easier and the output ISO Image can be burned to a DVD disc, backup to a hard drive, play on most media players like VLC player, MPlayer, etc.
1. Make sure you already insert the DVD disc into the optical/DVD drive and launch the software and click on the “Clone DVD to ISO” option on the left-hand menu.
2. The “Source DVD” and “Target ISO” columns should be automatically loaded. If not, you need to choose the correct DVD drive.
3. Also, just leave the rest of the settings intact, and click on the “Run” button to start the cloning process.
To Copy DVD to VIDEO_TS
The VIDEO_TS folder is a DVD containing all the DVD’s video data (mostly .VOB and .IFO files) and the playback info. The VOB file format is the one for playback, edit or convert to other formats supported by PC or portable devices.
1. Make sure already insert the DVD disc into your computer DVD drive. Launch the WinX DVD Copy Pro and on the left menu, click on the “Copy DVD to VIDEO_TS Folder” option.
2. The “Source DVD” and “Target Folder” columns should be automatically loaded. Make sure the source DVD is your correct DVD drive. In the target folder, you can choose a new folder or accept the default location.
3. Accept the rest of the settings and click on the “Run” button to start the DVD copy process.
Other Options Available
