Many of the other DVD copy software applications we reviewed are simple enough for newbies to the DVD copying world to use and dynamic enough for movie copying gurus to appreciate. However, DVD95Copy is neither simple nor dynamic, it's just difficult. This DVD cloner has too many compression options and would only be understood by people who already know the technical jargon. There is no CSS decryptor built into the software; so again, you would need to know where to look for one and how to install it.

DVD95Copy has a decent feature set. You can compress DVD-9 to fit on a single DVD-5 and the software is compatible with DVD-R dual layer output media. This DVD copy software application allows the choice to retain or omit menus and bonus materials and has the ability to backup episodic DVDs like "Lost," which we love. The region codes can also be removed, thus allowing the freedom to copy the DVD, despite control dates set by motion picture studios. The compression is controllable as well, although it is difficult to know what you are doing because the chapters and tracks aren't labeled clearly in the application, so you will have to go into every track to clearly identify the content.

We found DVD95Copy harder to use than the other DVD burning applications we tested. With this application, it is imperative that you know what you are doing in terms of DVD copying because it offers so many compression options. Because of this, DVD95Copy is not the application to begin experimenting with DVD burning. The interface is not intuitive and lacks time-saving features. When an instruction and error message appears, the content is difficult to understand, or does not appear at all, thus creating more problems later on in the DVD burning process.

The only problem we found with the installation and setup of this software is the lack of a built-in CSS decryptor, which has to be downloaded in order for the process to work correctly. This can be a hassle if you have already begun the burning steps. With any DVD copy software application make sure your application has a built-in CSS decryptor, you burning process will be so much simpler.

The quality of this DVD copy software application is pretty good after we pushed through the constant error messages and jargon. The special features and menu options of the DVDs we copied are all intact and functioning correctly. While the error messages and jargon are frustrating at times, we never had any problem with the application locking up on us or not working correctly so long as we knew what we wanted.
