True DVD Copying is Back with DVD neXt Copy Pro:
Not only is 1:1 dvd backup possible again but this time with a punch. Since most of you probably have an iPod Video player, or a PSP, or Zune, guess what you are in luck. The ultimate version offers you to backup a dvd to a portable video format that you can transfer to these devices quickly and easily. So now you have the options you want with what you want to do with your DVD Movies: Make a backup copy or transfer to portable devices.
Can you say Blu:
Once of the major advantages of the Ultimate Verion compared to the Standard version is the ability to burn to Blu-Ray Media (BD-R, BD-RW). As a test I copied all 6 of a famous Outer Space, long time ago movie set onto my PC then I used the Burn to Blu Ray feature to burn all 6 movies onto one Blu-Ray blank disc. The playback quality of the movies is just as good as DVD quality, which was good to see. Now I don't need to swap out DVD discs when I want to watch movies back to back.

Conclusion:
At $69 this is the grandaddy of all DVD Copying Software in both expertise and pricing. Since the code used is a continuation of the original DVD X Copy you know you are getting the best of the best and the price reflects that. Their 90 day money back guarantee is great in the slim case your burner won't work with it, but I would say that 99.9% of all burners are supported.
I give DVD neXt Copy Pro our BurnWorld Safe Buy Award. Which is given to products and services that are worthy about telling the public about and that we would actually use ourselves at home.
