BackUp DVD:

So now we move on to DVD Backup. This part of the program will simply take a movie from a disc and then burn it back onto a second disc.

When you start the program the following screen will be displayed if there is no disc in the drive. Simply wait a few seconds if there is on in the drive or browse for in using the interface provided.

Here it is worth pointing out here that Video Vault can't remove CSS encryption. If you insert a disc that has this on it then the following message will appear.

To get around this you either need to pick another DVD to backup or use a secondary program such as DVDDecrypter to get the movie onto your hard disk.

Once the program as scanned the disc it will bring up the details of the film in the main window. Here you get to make your choices. You can backup the whole movie, parts of it or make an exact copy of the disc including menus and all. If you only see one entry for you movie then you can change this by selecting a different setting from the drop down box at the bottom on the screen. This will give you more or less options depending upon your choice.

The box contains the following settings.

This will change the options in the main window allowing you to backup the different parts of the disc.

Once you have selected you choice, here I went for the option to backup the Movie Only, you need to hit the start button to begin the process of transferring the movie to your hard drive. The window will show you how long the process has taken so far and the estimated time of completion.

In this instance it actually took about 19 minutes to copy the movie to the hard drive.

Once the transfer has been completed it will ask you to insert a Blank DVD into the drive. Here you can cancel the process and just leave the movie on you disk. If however you want to continue then insert a disk and wait for the program to recognise it.

The movie will now be burnt to the blank disk. Here as you can see the process took 7:57 giving an overall time of about 27 minutes to make a copy of a DVD.

The movie played fine once copied and still looked as good as the original.

Once again though this seemed a little slow. The process instead of coping the disc 'On The Fly" from original to blank copied it into the vault and then onto a DVD. Obviously 'On The Fly" would be quicker at about 15 minutes. However the movie is now in the program and can be exported to another device at a later stage with having to re-rip it again.

Lets now look at the Positives and Negatives
