| Q: |
Is
copying a DVD legal? |
| A: |
You must check your
local laws before making a backup copy. Different
countries have different laws pertaining to this.
We are in no way responsible for your use of DVD
Wizard pro. By ordering DVD Wizard Pro you agree
not to break any law pertaining to DVD copying. |
| Q: |
Will
DVD Wizard Pro work on encrypted DVDs? |
| A: |
Yes. Nearly all DVDs
are encrypted with CSS (Content Scrambling System)
and your DVD will have locked sectors denying you
access unless it goes through an authentication
process. DVD Wizard Pro works around this and unlocks
and authenticates your DVD. |
| Q: |
Do
you offer a demo version or a money back guarantee? |
| A: |
We provide full support
and can help with most technical issues. If you
have met the minimum requirements to run DVD Wizard
Pro but still can not copy a DVD because of hardware
issues we will offer a refund. A refund request
must be made within 30 days of the date of the purchase. |
| Q: |
Can
DVD copies be played on a standard DVD Player? |
| A: |
Most DVD copies can
be played on a standard DVD Player, provided the
DVD Player supports Video CD (VCD). Most DVD Players
manufactured within the last two years, support
the standard Video CD format. Refer to your DVD
Player owners manual for more information. |
| Q: |
How
many CD-R's are required to burn one DVD and how
long will it take? |
| A: |
That depends upon the
length of the DVD video, and whether or not you
plan to play the CD in a conventional DVD Player
using Video CD technology. If you want to store
the movie in a compressed MPEG or DIVX format and
replay the movie on your computer, or computer to
the TV, then one CD can be sufficient with specific
compression technologies. But if you want to store
the format in VCD and play it on your console DVD
player, then two CD's will typically be required
to hold a full feature length DVD (2 - 2 1/2 hours).
You can store (depending on the CD-R) up to 80 minutes
of video on one CD-R in VCD format.
The time required for decoding will vary
depending upon the speed of your computer and the
level of detail in the DVD. Your computer will be
processing many gigabytes of data and when you consider
the amount of data involved, the time required for
the process is actually quite minimal. Faster computers
can typically decode a 2 hour movie in less than
four hours. Slower computers will take longer. However,
the process does not require your constant attention
as you can begin the process before you go to bed
or while you're at work. For the average computer,
running a Pentium III 850 MHZ with 128MB of Ram,
you can expect the entire process to take between
4-6 hours for an average two hour movie. |
| Q: |
Will
my CD retain the same quality and digital stereo
that is on my DVD? |
| A: |
Actually, VCD quality
is much better than VHS, but not quite as good as
DVD. Some can tell the difference, while others
can't. The audio portion is recorded in true digital
stereo and you will retain the same aspect ratio
of a DVD. Many of our customers maintain a library
of DVD Videos on their computer hard drives as well.
This allows them to make an exact copy of the original
DVD, video, audio and all MENUS! So there is no
difference between a DVD VOB file on your hard drive
and the VOB file on a DVD. They are IDENTICAL in
every way! |
| Q: |
Does
the copy retain all of the bonus footage and menus?
|
| A: |
That depends on whether
you store the DVD to your hard drive or you store
it to VCD or DivX format. If you store the DVD to
your hard drive, you can retain all bonus footage
and menus. However, neither VCD or DivX can retain
the bonus footage or menus. You can, however, use
our software to copy specific footage from a DVD,
like movie trailers or interviews. |
| Q: |
What
is VCD? |
| A: |
VCD stands for "Video
Compact Disc". Basically, it's a CD that can hold
650 or 700mb of audio and video data. In short,
this means it is similar to a DVD, in that it is
digital and can contain video data. Even though
a VCD's audio and video quality are not as good
as a DVD, most people cannot tell the difference
between a VHS and a VCD movie. Anyone else who does
know the difference will say VCD is better than
VHS. VCD can also be played on most console DVD
players connected to your television. |
| Q: |
What
is DivX? |
| A: |
DivX is a codename for
the MPEG-4 compression technology developed by DivXNetworks,
Inc. (aka Project Mayo). DivX is similar to VCD
in it's video quality, but almost anyone will tell
you it's not as good. This is basically because
of the difference in resolution. All televisions
display on a 640x480 resolution. Computer monitors
are typically set to 800x600 and 1024x768. DivX
cannot be played on standalone console DVD players.
This is one of the strongest points against it.
Most people prefer the option of sitting on their
couch and watching movies on their television, as
opposed to their computer screen. DivX is ideal
for those who travel, or prefer the direct availability
of DivX movies over the internet. |
| Q: |
Is
the DVD copy process complicated? |
| A: |
Although the DVD copy
process can appear complicated at first, you will
discover that we've made the process as simple as
possible and provide step by step instructions from
beginning to end. |
| Q: |
Do
I need to buy a DVD-Burner? |
| A: |
You do not need a DVD-Burner
for use with DVD Wizard Pro. However, If you have
a DVD-Burner, we offer additional information on
how to back up your DVD collection using DVD-R/+R
disks. |
| Q: |
What
is a mod chip? |
| A: |
When installed in your
gaming system, such as a PlayStation or XBox, a
mod chip will allow you to play imported games as
well as backups of your own games made on CD-r or
DVD-r Media. |
| Q: |
Why
do I need a mod chip to play imports and backups? |
| A: |
The gaming console checks
the country code on the game CD Roms / DVDs before
it allows the game to start. If the country code
on the disc does not match that of your console,
it will not allow you to play the game. Similarly,
the console checks to make sure you have inserted
an original disc. |
| Q: |
Are
there any other solutions for playing my backups
and imports? |
| A: |
Yes there are. EasyBuy2000
offers external Neo Keys and several other plug-n-play
devices. No soldering required. |
| Q: |
Can
I copy my VHS tapes using DVD Wizard Pro? |
| A: |
Our guide offers additional
information on how to copy VHS tapes. In order to
achieve this you will need a video card with a Video
In port for a camcorder or VCR and the software
necessary to capture the video |
