is the only program that you will need when you are about to copy a DVD! Besides that it also contains a Simple version of the program from the ones that would like to copy the DVD in one click.
This guide will go through the process of copying a video DVD to a DVD5 or DVD9 (dual layer).

This is the left corner of the main window. I will explain what all these buttons do. (1) Opens DVDXpress (included) to copy a DVD with just 1 click! You can read a guide for it here. (2) Open DVDXPlatinum which we are going to use. (3) Opens the settings. For start click (4) to open the settings. |

You only have to do this once. (1) Select your DVD burner (if you don't have a CD writer you will only see your DVD burner there). (2) Select the folder that the temponary files of DVDXPlatinum will be placed. Make sure the disc you use has at least 7-8GB of free space. Don't worry all the files that are going to be placed there will be deleted after the disc copy. It is suggested to disable the screen saver if copying a DVD (3). Click Save As Default (4). Then click the Advanced button you can see on your left (not shown here, it's button 2 in the step 1 above). |

Insert the DVD in the drive and wait a few seconds! |

If you get this message you need a CSS ripper. No problem, you can download one for free from our site here. It will remove the protection on the fly. (it will just run in the tray and you can copy the DVD). |

Here we are at the main window of this powerful tool. (1) Select the titles you want. If you are not sure which ones are the right select them and click the Preview Video button you see at the right. Select Use Compression if you are going to burn the disc in a DVD-5 disc (the 4,7GB one). If you are using a dual layer blank DVD select Double Layer (2). If you do not select any of those DVDXPlatinum will split the DVD into 2 parts each of them you burn in a different DVD±R. There is a guide for this function here. Click Next (3). |

Here you can do some nice stuff! Select the titles you want (1) and then by moving the bar (2) you can alter the level of compression they have, so that you can give more quality to the movie and not some extras you may have included. (3) This shows the general compression. If this is under 45% I suggest you use 2-disc method using the guide I told you about above. Anyway you finally click Next. (If you are only copying one Title click Next without playing with compressions).
Generally the program makes the best selections here so just click Next. (4) |
 |
Finally our copy starts. Easy wasn't it? Well even if you found things above a little complicated you should not worry. After 2-3 copies you are going to learn everything!
