Secret #1 - WARNING: SCAM ALERT This Dirty Little Secret is Absolutely the MOST IMPORTANT Thing You Need to Know Before Buying DVD Copy Software

I'm going to get hate mail from the industry (and thank you mail from you) for revealing this well kept secret. You will very likely get scammed and waste your money without this critical knowledge!

Heres the deal ... I refuse to put this secret on my public site but I cover it in great detail in the very first Lesson of my FREE DVD Copy Secrets email course. Sign up now and get this information immediately. The email course is completely free and contains some of the best dvd copy secrets and tips that you won't find anywhere else.

Fair enough?

With the latest software, copying DVDs is a very easy and straight forward process. The hardest part getting started is just figuring out the right components needed (hardware, software and media). On this site we show you exactly what you need from getting your system setup to making your first copy.

Hollywood movies are encrypted to protect them from being copied. Your standalone DVD player knows how to decrypt protected movies and so does a gem of a program called DVD43.

You simply install DVD43 and it will work in the background to remove the copy protection on the fly. It is a quick one time install and then you don't worry about copy protection again.

IMPORTANT NOTE: A developer trying to make money off of DVD43 created a version that stops working after 30 days and requires you to pay $20 to unlock it. Don't fall for this scam! DVD43 is FREE and the FREE version is the one that is kept up-to-date. To make sure you are getting the right version grab it from DVD43FreeVersion.com

It doesn't take an extremely powerful or expensive computer to make DVD copies. If you have a DVD burner then your system is good enough. In fact, we got our test system with dual DVD drives from Dell for $420.

Here is what you need:

• Windows XP, NT, 2000 PC
• DVD Burner (you just need 1 DVD drive)
• 10 GB Free Hard Drive Space
• Free DVD Ripper (ex. DVD43FreeVersion.com)
• DVD Copy Program
• Blank DVDs

People often ask why they can't use the dvd software that comes with their computer to copy movies. This is a great question. The problem is that commercial movies are recorded on dual layer discs which hold about 9 GB of data. Most people record on single layer blanks which hold about 4.7 GB of data. See the problem... the movie simply won't fit.

DVD Copy Software is very easy to use but don't be fooled... it is very complicated under the hood. To make movies fit on the smaller blank it will compress the movie the exact amount needed. But first, it gives you the option to remove previews, extras and other potentally unwanted items so you will retain the highest quality possible for your needs. This is all done fast and automatically.

In Secret 5 I told you commercial movies need to be compressed to fit on your Single Layer blanks. Of course, all new DVD burners support Dual Layer blanks. In theory this eliminates 95% of the compression problem (commercial discs are still slightly larger) but the price of the blanks are way too expensive. Plus you simply don't need them!

You are going to have to trust me on this one until you try it yourself. I've copied hundreds of movies in our test lab and even at 40% compression a quality loss isn't noticable during playback on a high definition big screen tv.

Don't hesitate at all about using single layer blanks. All of the copy programs we recommend support dual layer blanks so when the price of dual layer blanks comes down you will have them as an option. But until then save your money... you're not missing anything (that the eye can see).
