This review is for DVD XCopy Xpress version 3.2.1.0. This seemed like the most logical place to put it. Apologies in advance if it isn't.

I've been using DVD XCopy Xpress (3.2.1.0) off an on for the past year or so to make copies of DVDs (that I own in case any lawyers are reading this) for the players in the kids room, the family room, and the minivan.

PROS:
-Ease: I don't know much about the software algorithms involved in copying a DVD, but from what I hear they're pretty complicated. XCopy Xpress simplifies it down considerably. All you really do is pop in a DVD and hit a big green "Start" button. After an hour or so, the software will ask you to insert a blank DVD. You then hit a big green "Write" button and 45 minutes later you have your copy. The copy plays exactly like the original (captions, etc) except that the copy displays a big "DVD-BackUp" message at the beginning asking you to please respect the rights of copyright holders. This message displays right before the FBI warning about copyright infringement.
-Price: I bought my copy of DVD XCopy a while ago. I forget the exact price, but I think it was around $30. I do remember that it was during an after Thanksgiving sale so it also came with a $30 rebate. Net cost to me? ~$3 in sales tax.
-Works on nearly all DVDs: Again I don't know much about the software code involved in copying a DVD, but the code in XCopy Xpress seems to work on nearly all DVDs I've tried. I've only had one or two (out of ~30) that wouldn't copy. If a DVD won't copy the first time, trying it a second time with a blank DVD will usually fix the problem.
-Scratches: XCopy Xpress seems to not care if the source DVD is somewhat scratched (reasonable scratches from normal use). A few of the source DVDs I've used were scratched, but the copies played fine. On some of the moderate scratches, the copy's image may pixelated for a second or two, but that's it. Of course, XCopy Xpress can't work wonders and compensate for more serious scratches.

CONS
-Company defunct: The biggest drawback of DVD XCopy Xpress is that you can no longer buy it. The company that made it (321 Studios) was sued out of existence by the Hollywood movie studios in either 2004 or 2003.
-Registration requirements: Since you can no longer buy DVD XCopy Xpress, this is somewhat of a moot point, but here goes. When I bought my copy of XCopy Xpress, I remember having to register it with 321 Studios. This registration was mandatory --- don't register and the software won't work. I was suspecting some sort of Big Brother-type spying on 321's part, but they told me that it was to prevent unauthorized copies of XCopy from being made (ironic isn't it?)
-Time: This is probably my second biggest complaint about using XCopy Xpress. It usually takes about an hour to read the source DVD and then slightly less time (maybe 30 to 45 minutes) to actually write the copy. (Of course the speed of your DVD drive(s) influences this time too). I'm not certain, but XCopy Xpress seems to demand a lot of system resources during the read and write stages. My computer is essentially unusable while XCopy Xpress is doing it's thing.
-Initial Setup: As with most software programs, XCopy Xpress asks you to set certain options the first time you use it. These options include, among other things, whether you want to copy the whole source DVD or just certain tracks. It may take a DVD or two of practice in order to get the options set properly, which isn't so bad. (DVDs are fairly inexpensive).
-Feedback poor: Because XCopy Xpress simplifies the copying process so much, the user actually gets very little feedback about what problems (if any) XCopy is encountering. The user interface does provide an elapsed time and time remaining clock as well as a progress bar (40% done, 45% done, etc), but there is no box to tell you about how scratches on the source DVD affect the copy, whether the blank DVD was defective in any way, etc.

Recommended: Yes
