1Click DVD Copy, from LG Software Innovations, is an excellent DVD Copying product that does exactly what it says: Copies a DVD movie with just one click. 1Click DVD Copy has a simple, user-friendly interface, is fast and comes with great customer support.
1Click DVD is easily one of the best DVD copying products available. It's overall simplicity makes it perfect for the novice user. One of the main differences between 1Click DVD Copy and our #1 product, DVD Cloner 5, is that DVD Cloner 5 has the CSS decryptor already bundled within the software. 1Click DVD requires you to download a third-party decrypter online. We found DVD43, available free online, worked excellently.

Feature Set:
1Click DVD Copy boasts a comprehensive feature set including the ability to retain bonus material and automatically attempts to restore scratched or otherwise damaged DVDs. You can also include subtitles or choose to keep or omit movie menus.
One feature that stands out is the ability to copy episodic DVD movies like “The Simpsons.” You can also backup a DVD to your hard drive instead of simply to a DVD. This is useful for laptops because it takes less battery power to play a movie from the hard drive than from a DVD.
DVD copy software is only as good as it's compression engine and 1Click DVD Copy has one of the best in the business. This means a professional Hollywood movie recorded on a dual-layer DVD-9 can be copied and compressed to a standard, easy-to-find, cheaper DVD-5.
1Click DVD Copy can also copy and burn to a dual-layer DVD-9 requiring no compression, making an exact replica of your movie.
Advanced features include setting burn speed and setting DVD-r write mode.
Ease of Use:
1Click DVD Copy's interface employs common Windows functions like an "options" button for farther configuration, and utilizes the right-click function for advanced options.
One way that 1Click DVD Copy keeps its product simple is that it does the compression for you and you don’t need to understand complex compression options. You just select your preferred language and 1Click DVD Copy does the rest. This is great for the inexperienced user.
The largest problem we encountered while using 1Click DVD Copy is that it does not come with a built-in DVD decryptor. In order to copy a movie with 1Click DVD Copy, you must first download and install a separate utility to decrypt the CSS encryption. We suggest trying DVD43, it is free and you can easily find it online. It is a simple decryptor application that runs in the background. Once you do have the decryption tool, copying movies is as easy as one click.
Ease of Installation:
We did not encounter any installation problems while installing or uninstalling 1Click DVD Copy.
Quality of Copy:
The DVD made using 1Click DVD Copy was indistinguishable from the original. It played flawlessly on our computer and in a standard DVD player. We didn't notice any quality degradation even when compressed. Compared to the other products it was one of the best copies made.
Program Stability:
We did not have any stability problems while using 1Click DVD Copy. Some software will stop responding if an encrypted DVD is inserted into the drive; however, 1Click DVD Copy simply stated that it could not copy the disk while the encryption was active.
Summary:
Overall, 1Click DVD Copy is an excellent option if you don't mind the extra step of downloading the CSS decryptor – a step most DVD Copying software now requires.
