Test Platform
We downloaded, installed,
and tested
1Click DVD Copy 5 to run on two test computers. One
computer was "Home-Brewed" with an Athlon AMD 64 X2 4800 Dual-Core
processor running at 2.4GHz, 1GB of memory, 100GB hard drive, and a
Sony DRU-510A DVD/RW drive 32X (CD) and 12X (DVD). The other computer,
a Gateway E06500D, with an Intel Pentium(R) running at 3GHz, 1GB of
memory, 100GB hard drive, and a Plextor PX-708A DVD/RW drive (40X (CD)
and 12X (DVD).
Test Results
The installation was
flawless on both test computers. The original DVD movie was "Head
of State" (2003) starring Chris Rock and Bernie Mac. The movie runtime was 93 minutes. Upon inserting the original DVD movie and
pressing the "Start" button, 15 minutes lapsed until we were prompted
to insert blank DVD media. The DVD movie burning process was less than
10 minutes. We then inserted the copied DVD movie in our DVD player and
the copy quality was that of the original to include all of the extras
and menus options we selected. The same process was perform on our second test
computer and it took 16 minutes to copy the movie and
approximately 9 minutes to burn the movie to DVD.
At program launch we were
presented with the
1Click DVD Copy 5 GUI interface. We inserted our DVD movie and
1Click DVD Copy 5 quickly scanned it in.

Pros
1Click DVD Copy 5 measured up well under our test
conditions. Firstly, the user interface was very easy to use. It was
hard to believe that it was as simple as inserting a DVD and clicking
a start button, but it was. During both the copy and burning process,
1Click DVD Copy 5 ran without a problem. The feature set included
options to select any episodes of extras on a DVD movie, subtitles,
languages, movie menus, and DTS audio.
Cons
Before use, we had to
install a third-party DVD decrypting program. It was a small program
and very easy to use. The overrides CSS copy-protection found on DVD
movies. Once it's installed, it runs in the background and you don't
need to worry about it. (The third-party DVD decrypting program is
available as a free download).
Quality of Copy
The final copy was an
exact replica of the original. A blindfold test could not tell the
difference. You really have to see and experience this for yourself to
appreciate the quality of the copied DVD.
