This is the main DVDXGold window. It gives three options, Backup DVD, Settings and X Software. The X Software button will launch your default browser and go to the X Software homepage. Settings allows you to change some simple settings (we will see in a moment) and Backup DVD will start the DVD backup process. First however, we will take a quick look at the changeable settings.
The settings are very simple. First there is Select DVD Burner, which allows you to select the program's default DVD burner. It will only list DVD Burners, no other drives. Temporary allows you to specify a temporary folder that will be used to store files in the backup process. Please make sure there is enough hard disk space for these files (9.4GB is recommended by X Software). You now have two extra options, Suspend Screensaver While Copying A DVD and Play Sounds when Reading and Writing is Completed. You should definitely keep both selected, as Screensavers could slow down the backup process and it's always useful to have a noise played when the process is completed. Now that you have configured your settings, click Backup DVD.
As mentioned at the start of the guide, some DVD's are protected with CSS. For this reason you may have had to rip your DVD to your Hard Disk Drive with DVD Decrypter. If you didn't then you can still rip from an unprotected DVD with DVDXGold. Wait a few seconds and it should read the DVD for you. If you ripped the DVD to a folder, use the Browse button to locate that folder. If you get a CSS message and you already ripped your DVD to the Hard Disc, then remove the DVD from your DVD drive and click Backup DVD again, then click Browse. If you get the CSS message and you haven't already ripped to the Hard Disk, then go back to the last page and rip your DVD first.
Here is the Select Titles window. The window is easy enough to understand. You have three new buttons, Select Titles, Compression and Write DVD. When the screen first pops up the compression button and write DVD button will be unclickable. Beneath the buttons is the Titles list. To the right of the titles list you have information on the Video, Audio and Subtitles that have been selected when you select Title Sets. Beneath this you have the option to use Compression or select Double layer if you have a Dual Layer burner and DL media also and don't require compression.
If compression is required you will see this window. All this window shows you is how much compression each title set needs and the Overall compression meter. Click Next now to begin the writing process.
