- DVD Copy Quality
- It may surprise you that a Digital Copy can be different from product to product.
- We check to make sure the copy has excellent quality.
- Some products leave skips or flaws in the audio or video. None in this category make it to the top 3.
- Compression
- We make sure the compression works well, and the compressed video looks good and takes a minimal amount of space.
- CSS Decryption
- Nearly every DVD movie released these days are encrypted with the Content Scrambling System
(CSS) in order to prevent illegal DVD duplication. The only way to backup the DVD is with
CSS decryption.
- Some products offer the CSS decryption built into the software.

- We make sure CSS decryption is either built in, or easily integrated to make any DVD backup copy a snap.
