Guide Review - Corel DVD Copy 6 Plus - DVD Copying and Video Conversion Software

What I liked about DVD Copy 6 Plus

DVD Copy 6 Plus can take just about any video file and convert it to another video file or copy the file to DVD or Video CD (VCD). For example, video from camcorders, such as AVCHD or MiniDV, can be copied to DivX to create a DivX DVD. Or a quicktime .mov file could be converted to MPEG-1 for copying to Video CD. Or how about a TiVo file from your TiVo recordings copied to your iPhone? The software is very flexible in letting users create exactly what type of video format they want to have their video in, and what player to playback the video in. Other great features include:

Fit Disc - Shrink double-layer DVDs to single-layer
Create Disc Image - Make an ISO image for multiple copies
Quick Disc Copy - 1:1 duplicates of DVDs
Copy to Hard Drive - copy your DVDs to your hard drive in MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or DivX format.

The ability to copy video to mobile devices like the iPod, iPhone and Zune makes DVD Copy 6 Plus a terrific companion to those devices, especially if you like watching your TV or videos on the go.

What I didn't like about DVD Copy 6 Plus

I had two small issues with DVD Copy 6 Plus. The first, the program starts up a little too slow for my tastes. Second, no support for some popular mobile devices, like the Creative Zen or the Sandisk Sansa.

A good product for those who want to be able to copy their own recordings to DVD or mobile device.
