Q: Can DVD movies be played on a standard DVD player?
A: Most DVD-COPIES can be played on a standard DVD Player, provided the DVD player supports Video CD (VCD). Most DVD Players manufactured within the last two years, support the standard Video CD format. Refer to your DVD Player owners manual for more information.

Q: How many CDR's are required to burn one DVD?
A: That depends upon the length of the DVD video, and whether or not you plan to play the CD in a conventional DVD Player using Video CD technology. If you want to store the movie in a compressed MPEG or DIVX format and replay the movie on your computer, or computer to the TV, then one CD can be sufficient with specific compression technologies. But if you want to store the format in VCD and play it on your console DVD player, then two CD's will typically be required to hold a full feature length DVD (2 - 2 1/2 hours). You can store (depending on the CD-R) up to 80 minutes of video on one CD-R in VCD format.

Q: How long will it take to copy & burn a DVD?
A: The time required for decoding will vary depending upon the speed of your computer and the level of detail in the DVD. Your computer will be processing many gigabytes of data and when you consider the amount of data involved, the time required for the process is actually quite minimal. Faster computers can typically decode a 2 hour movie in less than four hours. Slower computers will take longer. However, the process does not require your constant attention as you can begin the process before you go to bed or while you're at work. For the average computer, running a Pentium III 850 MHZ with 128MB of Ram, you can expect the entire process to take between 4-6 hours for an average two hour movie.

Q: Will my CD retain the same quality and digital stereo that is on my DVD?
A: Actually, VCD quality is much better than VHS, but not quite as good as DVD. Some can tell the difference, while others can't. The audio portion is recorded in true digital stereo and you will retain the same aspect ratio of a DVD. Many of our customers maintain a library of DVD Videos on their computer hard drives as well. This allows them to make an exact copy of the original DVD, video and audio! So there is no difference between a DVD VOB file on your hard drive and the VOB file on a DVD. They are IDENTICAL in every way!

Q: What is a VCD?
A: VCD stands for "Video Compact Disc". Basically, it's a CD that can hold 650 or 700mb of audio and video data. In short, this means it is similar to a DVD, in that it is digital and can contain video data. Even though a VCD's audio and video quality are not as good as a DVD, most people cannot tell the difference between a VHS and a VCD movie. Anyone else who does know the difference will say VCD is better than VHS. VCD can also be played on most console DVD players connected to your television.

Q: What is DivX?
A: DivX is a codename for the MPEG-4 compression technology developed by DivXNetworks, Inc. (aka Project Mayo). DivX is similar to VCD in it's video quality, but almost anyone will tell you it's not as good. This is basically because of the difference in resolution. All televisions display on a 640x480 resolution. Computer monitors are typically set to 800x600 and 1024x768. DivX cannot be played on standalone console DVD players. This is one of the strongest points against it. Most people prefer the option of sitting on their couch and watching movies on their television, as opposed to their computer screen. DivX is ideal for those who travel, or prefer the direct availability of DivX movies over the internet.

Q: Will DVD Easy Copy work with all CDR-Burners?
A: DVD Easy Copy has been tested with most major CDWriters, and has been found to be compatible with all of them.

Q: Is the DVD Copy process complicated?
A: No, DVD Easy has 3 three easy steps to copy and burn your DVD's. If you want to view your movies only on your computer, there are only 2 steps required.

Q: Do I need a DVD Burner?
A: No, you don't need a DVD Burner to copy DVD's.
