321 Studios DVD X Copy Does Not Clone DVDs To Your Hard Drive Anymore

By: Isaiah Henry

DVD X Copy Platinum is no longer the program you can use to burn for your hard drive! The pressure from the movie industry has forced the authors of DVD X Copy Platinum to remove the possibility for burning for your hard drive. This, and the draconian anti-piracy protections, will prevent you from legitimate DVD copying as well. Too bad!

If you are considering using DVD X Copy for Playstation games, you may run into a bit of a problem. Most games are so heavily coded that it is virtually impossible to complete the process and have the game still work. Yet, you may want to try because replacing your favorite game is quite costly, and some games are no longer easy to find.

It is a pity that so many users misused DVD X Copy Platinum and because of them now even people, who are honest, can�t use the software anymore. The software was discontinued in 2003 and today you can�t find its authentic versions anywhere. Support for older versions is also unavailable.

You can purchase fake knockoffs of the original 321 Studio product, but you must understand that you get what you pay for, not the good stuff guaranteed to work. The price may be low, but you will not have the support you may need because whoever is selling the phony software may be caught and go down at any time.

A decent substitute for personal use is DVD NeXt Copy. DVD NeXt copy is great for creating spare copies of your DVDs. 1 Click DVD Copy is also an alternative because it is easy to use. Both DVD NeXt Copy and 1 Click DVD Copy come with support and extras, which will help you create great copies of your DVDs.

Buying a legitimate DVD copying program has the advantage that you can always contact their support team if you encounter a problem. Also, you might be entitled to free updates, which is great if copy protection algorithms change in the meantime.

DVD X Copy PlayStation games can be used only if you manage to find a crack for the codes, which are built into the program. For many people this is unacceptable and if you are reluctant to do it personally, ask a friend to help you. Forums are one of the places where you can ask for help, if you are searching for a solution how to copy a DVD for personal use only. Don�t risk copying DVDs for profit because the penalties are severe.

I must admit that I do figure out why companies are using such draconian measures to protect their products from unauthorized copying. But on the other hand, I don�t think it is fair to make honest people, who want to make a personal backup copy of the DVDs they own, pay such a high price. Anyway, they have already paid once when they have bought the DVD. But it is good that there are workarounds and despite the fact that DVD X Copy Platinum is not on the market anymore, there are still alternatives to make a legal DVD copy for personal use.
