Test Platform

We downloaded, installed, and tested DVD neXt COPY Ultimate 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 Ultimate automatically detected the DVD. Twenty-Two 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 27 minutes to copy the movie and  approximately 11 minutes to burn the movie to DVD.

It can convert your DVD movies to DVD, iPod, PSP, or Zune formats. It also supports Blu-ray copy. It can copy up to 10 standard DVD movies onto one Blu-Ray Disc. The application had a very fast burn engine.
