All you need to do is to put the DVD movie into the DVD drive of the computer and click on Load DVD in the program interface. It will load the DVD contents with the option to preview them. The program has pull down menus for selecting one of the available audio tracks and subtitles that will be included in the rip.

The only other customization option is to select the target size for the output file and one out of three encoding profiles (avi, video CD and super video CD).

A click on convert will start the ripping process and save the file to the computer’s hard drive. The only nuisance of the program was that it did automatically open a website with another DVD ripping tool by the same author as advertisement. A viable alternative without advertisement is the one-click dvd ripping tool Bitripper.

The software supports many popular video formats like avi, flv, mpg and mov that can be added to the DVD. Both DVD-5 and DVD-9 are supported as well. One great feature of the software is that it automatically calculates the best Bitrate so that all movies that have been added fit on the selected DVD.

This takes some pressure from the user who does not want to have anything to do with bitrates and DVD quality. It’s obviously not possible to add an unlimited amount of movies but if you can live with a reduce quality you can pack more film on the DVD.

The DVD creation process requires minimal input from the user. Experienced users on the other hand can customize the settings to optimize the output.

To create a DVD the user has to add movies to the video queue of the application. A click on Start starts the DVD creation. No other input whatsoever is required.

AVStoDVD creates a DVD by default which can be changed in the options. A dvd menu is for instance not required if the DVD contains only one movie but should be mandatory if it contains several movies. The menu can be edited by the user if he has the desire to do that.

Another interesting feature is the ability to add subtitles to each movie. That’s as uncomplicated as the rest of the options.

The process to create a DVD took around 1:20 hours on my system. Creating a DVD-9 should take roughly double that time. Jobs can be queued so that it is possible to create several DVDs in one go.

It can deal with all kind of DVD protections that have been added to make the life of the DVD purchasers miserable while movie pirates enjoy their DVDs without those protections. The process is really that simply as described. Put a DVD into the DVD drive, make up your mind if you want the full DVD or only the main movie and hit the Start button.

Movie Backup deals with and removes DVD protections (CSS, RC, RCE, APS, UOPs and Sony ARccOS) and is compatible with PAL and NTSC DVD-5 and DVD-9 disks.

The only other selection that the user can make is to select the destination folder on his computer. The biggest plus of Movie Backup is its simplicity. It lacks a few features that would have been great, for instance to be able to create a custom DVD or convert the DVD into a compressed format. If you want to copy DVDs to the hard disk however this could be your program.

He can select to rip a DVD from disk or hard drive to disk or hard drive. Supported are DVD5 and DVD9 dvds and copy protection is not an issue either. DVD9 disks can either be ripped in the size that they come with or compressed to fit on one DVD5 disk.

A copy of a DVD can be made with minimal user input. I only had to change the destination directory of the copy before I could hit the Start button.

Five options are available at the bottom that influence the output. Three are checked by default (Include Subtitles, Include Movie Menu and Extras, Compress to single-layer-disk DVD5). The other two are to Include DTS Audio and to Copy to dual-layer-disk which would obviously uncheck the DVD5 option.

Aplus DVD Copy is a solid application that works. Just pop a DVD in or pick one from the hard drive and click on the start button to rip it. It cannot get much easier than that. A “nice-to-have” tool.
