This review is from: Easy DVD Copy 4 Premier (CD-ROM)

I have Roxio Cd Dvd Creator 6 on my HP laptop. Roxio no longer provides updates on this old version. So, I decided to get DVD Creator 4. Big Mistake for two reasons:
1- The Creator 6 and DVD Copy 4 cause major conflicts since they share some files. DVD Copy 4 won't even open if the creator 6 is already on the computer. It keeps crashing.
2- If you uninstall The Creator 6, and uninstall and reinstall dvd Copy 4, there are still problems. when you try to copy store purchased dvd's, the software tells you it is copy protected and it won't let you do it. (That's not true, I managed to make copies with The Creator 6).

If you uninstall DVD Copy 4 and reinstall The Creator 6, The Creator 6 tells you your recorder is not there!.

I ended up using System restore within Windows XP to eliminate this problem. Now, I am able to make copies with The Creator 6 at slow speed. It takes about 40 minutes since I don't use the fastest speed to rip the dvd data.

So, Be Aware this problem. I was hoping to make copies faster.

One more issue:
Roxio's customer service does not exist! No free phone number, no instant chat, just e-mail. I was entering W instead of VV for THe key. I couldn't installed the software, and try to reach Cust. Service. Then, I figured it out myself. Why would they use VV for the key? It looks just like W.

Update: Clean installation. The software assumes every store purchased dvd is protected, and wont copy it. So, use free encrypter software (DVD Fab6 or DVD Decrypter) and make a copy on your hard drive, then launch Roxio easy dvd copy 4 and burn the movie on a blank disk. Maxell and TDK +R's work for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it!, September 15, 2008

I purchased this item hoping to use it to download my DVDs to my Zen Vision and my daughter's Zune. What I didn't know (it's in fine print on the package) is that it will not copy encrypted or copy protected content. I could understand this if you were trying to make illegal copies of the DVD, but to limit you from downloading it to your video player is nuts. I also found the instructions poorly written and the software itself was not intuitive. I would not purchase this item!

5.0 out of 5 stars read this if you don't know much about DVD copying/conversion, March 26, 2009

For heaven's sake people! There is not a single program I have seen that will copy encrypted DVDs! That is the whole point of them being encrypted!!! There is a way around it as one is legally entitled to copy movies he/she owns for his own private use (for example on an iPod). Before you use the Roxio Easy DVD Copy or any other program to copy/convert your DVD you must decode them with another program, there is a few of them for download on the web. We use shrink DVD, but it does take a while, there may be a quicker program out there. Find one you like.
