Instant Copy has one overriding task in life, to copy the contents of a DVD or CD onto another disc, and it aims to do it as painlessly as possible. At its simplest, you put a blank DVD-R or DVD+RW disk in your DVD writer, a source disk in your DVD player, run the program and click on Copy. For many tasks the default settings within the program won’t need changing.
The software goes away and copies up to 4.7 GB of data from your source DVD, saving it in an intermediate file on your hard drive before writing it out to the destination drive. This is the default copying method, but you can set up a suitably equipped computer to copy on-the-fly as well, where data is transferred directly from DVD drive to DVD drive, without being stored temporarily in between.
You don't have to transfer between two identical disc types. Instant Copy can move video files from DVD to Video CD and Super VCD and also handles CD copying. This means you can break down multi-file DVDs onto a number of CDs, which can be read on just about any computer with a CD drive.
And a final caveat. If you're looking at Instant Copy to copy commercial DVDs, such as those movies on rental or on sale at this very site, you can think again. The program specifically excludes any copy-protected DVDs, saying politely why it can't copy a disc which has protection on it. --Simon Williams, Amazon.co.uk

Customer Reviews of PINNACLE SYSTEMS InstantCOPY (Windows)
Copy protected? Figure it out! Yes, it's true that Instant Copy won't copy DVDs, but there's plenty of shareware out there that will rip the image for you on your hard drive (and it doesn't take THAT much space: 9 GB at the absolute very most, and if you don't have that much room to spare, it's time to upgrade, guys!).
But where Instant Copy really excels is in taking a double-sided DVD and compressing it to the point where you can get TONS of information all on one DVD+R. So, once you've made a disc image (figure it out, computer illiterates!), Instant Copy will give you all the bells and whistles of a dual-layer DVD on one handy disc (yes, with slight quality loss, but it's hard to tell, honestly).
No, it's not a catch-all product, but few things ever are. For the compression feature alone, this product rates five stars (albeit only with a rebate! It's pretty pricey otherwise). For the rest of "how to copy a DVD"....it's quite easy. I guess those "one star review" types are too lazy to press two buttons instead of just one.
You must know how to use this program!!!
This software is excellent. But first, you must use dvd decrypter (a free software) so you can copy your dvd to the hard drive first (even the copyrighted for backup purposes, remember that it's illegal to sell copies of copy right material). When using DVD Decrypter, choose to decrypt all files. Then use instant copy to burn the DVD, be sure to use the "customized resize" in the Copy Method of the DVD Menu, so you can take off the extra features (like subtitles, or second audio tracks...) to improve the video quality. You can actually copy all the DVD but because you're copying from a 9.4gb dvd to a 4.7gb, the image loses resolution (shrinkage process), so it's up to you, if you want all the extras or sacrifice them for a better picture. You can see the percentage of the imgae that will be kept! DVD X Copy splits the movie into 2 DVDs!
It has never crashed, and it takes like 40 minutes to burn a DVD!

No, this will not copy copyrighted DVDs. Pinnacle is well knowen for their infearior software. After reasearching this software, it seems to be a rework of a German developers software (I think its called Vob copy) Pinnacle was cheaper than the german ware, so I bought Pinnacle to own a disk and not download of the net. This is very buggy and hit and miss. It does not reconize my external Sony DVD burner half the time. And must reboot the computer a few times. This will happen after succesfull burning a DVD, I will have to reboot. I download the latest list of DVD burners and this did not help the problem.
Next I download the newest and greatest version 8. Now I am not having a hit or miss problem, It is just miss. Does not work at all.
One thing everyone can count on is Pinnacle dependablity.
They have releast another undependable buggy product.
What makes me mad is, I knew better than to buy it.
