DL & software problems/questions

[azaritaer]

I recently installed a NEC 3550 DL burner and have upgraded the firmware to 1.06. I bought Verbatim DVD+R DL 8x disks and have been trying to burn Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I bought the platinum copy of DVD xCopy from 321studiosinc.com and got everything activated etc.

Well, after 2 days of frustration and having tried everything on their support page... I wrote them an email. Come to find out, you can't burn DL disks with their software. Granted, this was probably an oversight on my part, but I'm a little irked. I want to be able to pretty much one click "backup" my dvds.

I do have a copy of their protection software (the little green smiley face, DVD43) running. I have a copy of Nero, but I haven't tried it yet.

My questions to you all are as follows:

1. Should I try to get a refund for my DVDxCopy platinum software?

2. Will my brand new Samsung HD960 upconversion dvd player play a compressed movie?

3. Should I leave my DVDxCopy out of it, keep the DVD43 running and try Nero?

Please help!!!

Thanks in advance.

DVD Copy: Welcome to the official DVDXCOPY website, the Internet's most popular website for DVD copy software. DVDXCopy was once the world's best selling copying software, but after being banned for sale in 2003, authentic versions of 321 Studios software are no longer available. Some websites are still selling selling fake "DVD X Copy" Software for $29 or less, but they are not genuine 321 Studios software products (see more below). If you are looking for a fully updated version of DVDXCopy, you may want to consider the following DVD Software: DVD neXt Copy, 1 Click DVD Copy, DVD neXt Copy Pro, or 1 Click DVD Copy Pro.

DVD43 and Nero are your only options at this point.

Read the specs for you Samsung to know what it will and will not play but unless you're actually going to convert the video files to another format it won't be a problem.
Use your Verbatims and set the book type to DVD-ROM (Nero can do that) which should make the disks compatible with any stand alone player.
