I had no problems downloading, installing or using Xpress. I already copied 8 DVDs and viewed them on pc's and set top DVD players.

I ALSO KEEP GETTING " ERROR IN READING SECTORS " RIGHT OFF THE BAT . BUT I'M HOPING TO GET A REPLY FOR THIS GLITCH FROM TECH SUPPORT IN NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. PERSONALLY I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY 5.1 VERSION OF DVD X COPY RUNS LIKE A CHARM. BUT I CAN'T SEEM GET MY X-PRESS VERSION RUNNING OFF THE GATE. KEEP YOU POSTED OF MY PROGRESS.

i finaly got dxce to work. it doesn't copy the menu or extras just the movie. dxce will not work with older model dvd players (freezes during play)works with x-box and playstation. it still has the 321 logo (to be expected). used "The Ring" for test run. i will use a longer movie for further testing looking for my scareface movie, that's plenty long enough.

I think the problem for some of us is in hardware configuration. I can't get express to work at all on my desktop which has a dvd player (16x) and the Sony 500A as the burner. With my laptop I could get it to read through a dvd without errors, but the program would not recognize my externa dvd recorder. when I put the disk in the dvd recorder to do the temp files, then I get an error reader concerning sectors and titlesets. So, I am going to take out my DVD player, just leaving the Sony 500A in the desktop and see if that will work.

there is a crack or a keygen for dvdxcopy xpress??

tnx all

Afterdawn has close ties with 321 Studios, that´s something you shouldn´t ask on these forums.

rampino: Congrats..

I given up on express and copy for my desktop. They work perfectly on my laptop but my Vaio cannot do express. Plus, since installing express I could not use a number of programs for burning dvds and cds. I had to reform my hard disk drive, and even with a fresh harddisk, express will still not work properly. I cannot get the select drive command to work.

Not sure why so many people are having issues with Xpress, maybe check your computer config. DVDXCOPY has always worked flawlessly for myself and have backed up about a dozen of my movies with Xpress as well. I am going to stop using DVDdecrypter and DVD2ONE entirely since this problem has been working perfectly. Thanks to everyone at Xcopy that has made this possible

is the picture quality of express different from X copy? can you tell the difference if you play the backup on a big crt tv, using progressive scan?

Just a basic system, and dvdxcopy is working awsome. I had ME on the system origionally and it hated it. But hay it is ME and all.. I had a DVD that i lent to a friend and well it looked like he dropped it in a bucket of nails and shook it about when i got it back. It would not read in my Home DVDplayer but the computer could read it. Just fired up DVDXOPY and now have a working copy again. It is excellent software. I may not have the extra features but beats having to go and spend 30 bucks again on that movie that got ruined. I think that the DVD drivers that get installed with xcopy are some of the problem with some systems, The driver itself is not the prob it is the fact that some of the programs or processes that are running do not like the driver. Most people are way to quick to judge the software as the problem. when probably 99 times out of 100 the problem it actually the interface between the keyboard and the chair. 99.9% of all Software works, it is the ones that think that they are computer genious and think that well the windows folder has a lot of stuff that i do not use lets delete it and wonder why they have problems with the software. I will soon be buying XCOPY xpress and am very happy with the work that 321 is doing. Awsome job folks.

Let's not be so quick to judge others, corms. Nobody seems to have problems with Copy, only with Express. I agree with you, though, I think it is a problem with the drivers. If you are going to use express (not DVDxCopy), you will have to get rid of Videowave, Roxio Easy Creator 6 and Ulead Movie Factory 2. the drivers for those programs do conflict with Express, not with Copy. I would also advise anyone with a Sony 500A driver if they are going to do the firmware update, to uninstall Express, Copy as well as Easy Creator, and theother programs Sony tells you to get rid of form updating the firmware. I have had no problems with either program on my laptop (1.2MHZ and 512 Ram), with Roxio installed, but Express was a shambles with my desktop (1.5Mhz and 512 Ram). Finally, if 99.9% of all software works, then why do we have update fixes? There are bugs in every program and the more sophisticated the program, the more bugs you are likely to have.

I always had problems with DVD X Copy since the first release. I was just about to give up on 321studios when they released Xpress.
It works perfectly-so simple and fast. An easy and cheaper alternative is DVD Shrink and then burning with Nero.

I've had nothing but luck with Xpress. It's a great program and i've copied many dvd's with it. As for the people having problems with it. I've also encountered the titleset problem... It turned out the dvd was uber scratched and just needed a little windex before it could read it correctly. I would try cleaning the DVD first(gently of course) before ripping your hair out blaming the software. If you have more than one DVD-Rom, trying reading from a different drive, or try reading from your DVD -/+ R. Also, disable or uninstall as many programs as you can that you suspect are screwing with Xpress or DXP. This many times is the case. and lastly, track down forums like these for help(this goes for ANY computer problem really)

Tried to copy sorry backup the lord of the rings the felloship of the rings which came out in the uk to bay today. I have copied about 50 disks before without any problems, but it wont copy this one. Is anybody aware that they may have put some sort of code onto this dvd which prevents it from being copied? If comes up with right at the end of the read process with error occured reading sectors pleae help.....

Has anyone had any problems with the copy having intermittent skips on them? I never had the problem on win 2k but I just started using win XP and seem to have it on nearly every copy made since then, anyone have any input? Thanks!

I have had great success with XCopy and XCopy Express (up thru v 2.5) The new release (3.02) and the previous (3.01) I have had no luck with. It appears to complete the copy, and closes the disk, Says "Completed Successfully", but can't read the disk even in the drive it was created in. I go back to V 2.5 and it works like a charm. I've closed all extraneous programs, and always get the same results. Think Xpress still needs some fine tuning. Incidentally, each time I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I always uninstall the software, strip the Registry or Xpress references, reboot and do a new install. All to no avail. I am overall happy with 321 studios software, but look forward to the bugs being worked out.

One thing i've notivced is that Xpress doesn't really allow you to adjust many settings and stuff. DXC allows you to add and remove titles and special features, but most times you can't ven get all of it onto one disc. i read on the 321studios site that the latest version of xpress allows you to copy he movie and the menus on one disc, the version i'm using now is 1.0.625 does anyone know what version allows you to copy the menus, and if i'm entitled to a free update or something?

I can't seem to get express or Adavnce mode on DVD xcopy Platinum to work they burn the disc ok but my dvd player won;t read the disc. but them discs are definately full.

Next one posting DVDXCopy support questions to any other place other than DVDXCopy support forums, will get banned -- and if you get banned, you can't access to DVDXCopy forums either, so it will be a very stupid idea from your point of view.

I haven't read anywhere that anyone is having the same problems I am.
Two different things happen, but one that happens constantly makes the first one a non-issue. The FIRST thing is sometimes, only sometimes, the reading of the movie to the hard drive will stop at 99% and freeze up.
The SECOND thing is when it DOES finish reading the movie to the hard drive, it will ask me to insert the blank media. I do....and thats all that happens! It never see the media, and the start button stays "grayed" out. THIS IS EVERY TIME. I have never been able to use my new Sony 510A burner. I have left it sit over nite and it never moves from asking for the media. I have to just "cancel" the job.
ANY IDEAS of where to get an answer???

as mentioned before. It's much easier to read the last post and act accordingly, than post tens of lines to a thread where the problem goes un-noticed.

HI all if you have ne instruchions to use DVD XCopy then plz tell me how.


Thanks all

Just wanted to let you all know, I love the dvd x copy programs. I have been very successful burning dvds. Originally, when I first purchased the program, (DVD X COPY EXPRESS v3.2.1), from Target, I was able to burn about 3 DVDs. After that I had nothing but 3rr0r$. I was frustrated. I e-mailed tech support, about 2 weeks later they replied and said 90% of the errors people experiance is due to software conflicts. They said, which is true, even though you un install the problem programs, there are the evere dreaded registry leftovers. When you play with the registry, you risk losing more than the program you are out to oust. So I spoke with a buddy of mine, he's a tech head, he recommended setting up a 20 gig partition that consisted of the op sys only. No other programs should be installed, no updates to the op sys should be made, nothing. So he came over one day and helped me through the set up process. Once complete, I installed the dvd x copy and walla. I have been very successful burning just about anything I threw at it. So far, the only 2 movies that have gotten away are Resident evil: Apocalypse and The Grudge. My pc op sys is XP Pro. The pc is a dell. Specs include 3g p4, 2g ram, 8x dvd rw single layer, 20 gig partition for dvd x copy program only. The main partition for all my other stuff is 140 gig. Thats for my other hobby, GaminG!! Hope this helps anyone having trOUBle :)
