A couple of points...it's NOT the only 'Legal' software for doing this,
there are lots of other DVD copying programs out there which have just as
much legitimacy-if you want an example, CloneDVD. DVD X just throws these
warnings about unlicensed copying.
Also, I have DVDXCopy Express and this only copies the main feature and
one audio track. It's good, and it works ok, but my own preference is DVD
Shrink...this gives you the options of what you want to keep and what you
want to discard to get it under the 4.7gb limit. It doesn't burn, but it
does create a disc image you can use in most burning programs.
