Test Platform

We downloaded, installed, and tested DVD neXt Copy 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).

Installation & Test Results

The installation was flawless on both test computers. The original DVD movie was "GroundHog Day" (1993) starring Bill Murray. The movie runtime was 101 minutes.  Upon inserting the original DVD movie and pressing the "New" button, DVD neXt Copy automatically detected the DVD. Twenty-Five minutes lapsed until we were prompted to insert blank DVD media. The DVD movie burning process was less than 11 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 27 minutes to copy the movie and  approximately 11 minutes to burn the movie to DVD.

Pros

We really like DVD neXt Copy for many reasons. The user interface was easy to navigate and use. The software ran without a hitch. The feature set included everything one would need for customizing the final DVD Copy product.  The software application is a small file but power-packed. The software is truly 1Click technology.
 

Cons

Possible use of a third-party decryption tool. If needed, DVD neXt Copy will provide the link to download free. DVD neXt Copy
 

Quality of Copy

The final copy was an exact replica of the original.
 

Customer/Technical Support

We contacted DVD neXt Copy during normal working hours by email and they responded within minutes. Their website has an excellent customer support system in place as well as an excellent forum. The software has built-in tutorials as well as links to contact the company in case you have problems.
 

Summary

If you are looking for a DVD Movie Copy software application that runs well and does as advertised, if you want a DVD Movie Burning software application that is powerful, fast, and easy to use, then DVD neXt Copy should be considered. While it is the newest company to offer a DVD Copy program, we must say they are off to a good start. Highly recommended.
