Even someone new to DVD/Video like me can get this to work EVERY time although I've been told some Sony discs won't copy!
Just insert DVD in draw, run DVD Shrink,replace DVD with a blank (I use DVD+R for perfect results in a Panasonic home theatre system) then open Nero (6) and burn video files - Job done!!!
If you just copy 'main movie' it even auto plays without all the adverts and piracy crap! (Tried discs in 3 players... PERFECT in all 3!)

Pros:- After MANY downloads I've found a programme to rotate my video taken on its side! (Borrowed a friends camcorder)

Cons:- Until you purchase product EVERY thing you make/do is stamped with Video Edit Magic Trial Version across the top of the video, so free to try but you need to buy to remove the water mark, so not true freeware; just try before you buy!!
