When it rains, it pours. After the release of 321 Studios' controversial DVD X Copy software program, a number of other products have been popping up offering to copy DVDs faster and easier.

The newest entry is DVD95Copy which gets its name from its main feature: the ability to copy a DVD-9 (dual layer disc which holds up to 9 GB) onto a DVD-recordable (which holds only 4.37 GB). From the official website:

Copy any DVD to a regular DVD recordable with just 2 clicks, by keeping all of the original DVD features, like menus, different audio streams, and subtitles.

To preserve the best possible quality for the movie, DVD95Copy compresses all extras and menus at maximum rate to get as much space as possible for the movie itself. By stripping further audio and subtitle streams out of the movie, you will notice almost no quality loss for the movie itself.

Even episodic DVDs and those containing a full and widescreen version can be backed up to one recordable.

The cost for the software is $45. Other programs in this category include:

Pinnacle InstantCopy
Perfect CD and DVD duplication of Movies, Music, and Games! You can burn true 1:1 copies of DVD content, transfer DVD content to Video CD's and make perfect bit-for-bit copies on any CD media.

DVD2One
From the creator of Remote Selector comes a brand new product, the ultimate DVD processing tool. With this tool you can make movie-only copies for personal use on a single DVD-Recordable in a matter of 15-30 minutes time (depending on the speed of your computer).
