For the longest time it seemed that all DVD Backup software that actually worked was made for Windows. But now there is finally a solid solution for Copying DVD's on Mac platforms.

The developers have now taken the same functionality that was found in the Windows version and ported it over to the Mac.

Easy to Use:
This is just as easy to use as the Windows version, where you simply insert your DVD movie and choose which copy option to use. You can choose to copy the entire disc, copy the movie only, or copy to your hard drive. Then click the copy button and sit back. The entire process takes about 30 minutes if you have the latest superdrive. As you can see if the screenshot below, the interface is extremely easy to understand and has all the copy functions that you would expect a high quality DVD copy app to contain. This menu is showing the different projects to start with, which include:

• Copying the Original Main Movie to a Single 4.7GB Blank DVD
• Copy the entire Original DVD to two 4.7GB Blank DVD's (retaining full audio and video quality)
• Copy the Original DVD to your Hard Drive (for viewing later)

Note: If you want to copy just the movie then this software is a 2 click solution! Insert DVD > Click Copy

All Expected Extra Copy functions are included:

• Split a DVD-9 (Dual layer DVD) over two blank 4.7GB DVD's (preserving the original quality)
• Combine two DVD Movies onto 1 blank DVD (reduced quality)
