AVS DVD Copy is used to copy video DVDs and recompress the DVD video recorded on double-layer media to fit single-layer discs.

The work with the AVS DVD Copy is quite easy. It can be done in several steps:

1. Select the Source and the Target DVD drive (or hard disk drive folder, if you have your DVD video on your computer HDD). You might also need to select the folder for the temporary files. If you copy a DVD having only one disc drive, a temporary image on your computer HDD will be created to let you record the resulting disc using the same disc drive. In this case please make sure that you have enough free hard drive disk space available for the created temporary disc image. Its size could be up to almost 9 gigabytes for a double-layer DVD. You should also set the target disc size in the appropriate box.

2. Select the Copy mode. You can either copy the entire DVD with all the menus and extras, or copy the DVD retaining its structure and menus but removing all the extras, or copy only the main movie.

3. Select the necessary Languages and audio streams and remove the unwanted or unneeded ones. This can enhance the quality of the output video.

4. When all the settings are selected, press the Start copying! button to begin the DVD copying process. Its progress will be shown on the progress bar:

Note:

• in case the source and destination disc drives coincide, the process will be stopped after the Shrinking source DVD phase, and the program will wait for you to insert the DVD±R(W) disc so that the copying could be continued.

• if you save the output DVD video onto your computer hard disk drive, the copying process will consist of Opening source DVD and Shrinking source DVD phases only.
