WinxDVD Platinum

Is anyone familiar with WinxDVD platinum.    Apparently the creators do not support it, or rather, they have not responded to 3 different emails requesting support.

It seems to be great for copying DVDs to different formats, but I cannot get it to make a copy of a DVD.  It it no problem to get the copy to the hard disk; there are 3 ways to do that.  But the problem comes when I try to put it back onto a blank disc.  It always tells me there is not enough room on the blank disk.  Even when I do it as an ISO, and also using separate ISO software to try to write it to the blank.

Googling does not help.   All the help seems to be oriented to the first part of the operation, not the second part where it is being copies to a blank.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Are you making your .iso from a dual layer DVD and then trying to burn it to a single layer writeable?

I was wondering about that as well, but I did not think DVD movies were dual layer unless most DVD players can play dual layer discs.

Just making backup up copies of movies that are bought at the store.

So how does one make a copy of DVDs.  The reviews said this was one of the best for copying DVD's.  So I assume there is a way to do that.

Make sure your writer can write to DL DVD's, and if it can, get some DVD DL R media and burn your copy to that.

This was for a friend, I will be going over there later this week.  Don't know if he has a DL drive but I will check.  Will comment on this issue further then.

Will also look into DVD Shrink.

Thanks,

BTW, the download link for DVD Shrink does not work.
Get a portable USB DVD-DL writer for the case that his DVD drive can't write to DVD DL's.
That was my intention.  Thanks for the suggestion.
Have you been at your friend's place and tried writing to a DL DVD?
Yes.  But it did not work.  So I tried their DVD copy program and was able to do the copies, but it required a DL disc.
