Summary: Working fine so far....
Review: Got this product in December and have only had a few minor problems. Backed up 45 of my dvds with only 1 disk being bad. (for some reason it decided to finalize the whole cd) But 45 out of my 46 attempts to back up my dvds were successful. My computer is a 2Ghz/512 RAM/ and Sony-510A dvd-burner. But I've heard that this software is not compatible with everything. The program first reads the dvd which takes anywhere from 22 to 47 minutes. Then insert blank dvd and it'll write it in no time. The 'backup' dvd is very good quality, hard to notice the difference.

Summary: More work than it might be worth.
Review: I bought this because I have around 50 DVD's and do not want to purchase the same ones if they damage becuase, like so many people out there I value my stuff. I installed it, it didn't work. I called the tech support at their NON 800 number, even though they say in the DVD package that they have one, but they really don't, it's a long distance number depending where you live. Anyway, the tech said that I had to get rid of some things such as my Roxio Cd Creator Drag to Disc feature becuase it blocks the DVD X copy from getting the info to the DVD burner, I also had to disable my Norton Anti-virus, which was no problem. So I go to make a copy but now I am faced with more problems. I am getting every image heavily pixelated and the movie is unbearable to watch so I had to download some more software to stop the pixelation. I did not mention that I had to unistall & install the DVD X Copy Express about 7 times and I had to purchase a 2.0 USB because it WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY with just a 1.1. Some movies like Animatrix and the Gladiator would not play in some players while they worked fine in others(would not play in my Sony DVD player but played in my Playstation 2? Weird),
but as of late the DVD's are coming out ok. It's just a lot of aggrevation, work, and money at first that you want to stick the software up back up their ass. Buy with caution, time, and patience.

Summary: No brainer dvd backup, but it's not so easy.
Review: Ok, backing up DVD movies is a bit of an art. The problem is that the movies you buy on DVD are a different resolution than the DVD blank media you can buy this was done on purpose to keep you from doing a 1:1 perfect copy. DVDXCopy Xpress handles this problem for you by stripping away menus, non-English tracks, bonus material, etc and it re-encodes the movie recompresses it at a small loss of quality over the original (you won't notice). That's great and all, the problem is that there is an much better shareware program called DVD-Shrink that does this exact same thing much better! DVD-Shrink is like DVD XCopy XPress on steriods, it lets you decide what to keep and what to ditch. You can keep the menus and bonus stuff, chapter selection, etc.. much better product than this and best of all it's free, only requirement of DVD-Shrink is that you must have a program like Nero 6 that can burn a ISO DVD-Video. Another problem with DVDXCopy Xpress is that it's not compatible with all players and all media types (this is because it can't always tell that you have say 2.4x blank DVD+R media in your DVD burner that supports up to 4x) it can burn coasters. Using the two program approach DVD-Shrink + Nero allows you to rely on the top shelf DVD burning engine of Nero to do the burning work and other software to do the ripp.
