Copy a dual-layer DVD to a single writable DVD using your choice of automatic or user-configured compression.

Note: You are responsible for ensuring that your disc copying does not infringe any copyright restrictions on the source material. Copyright con-sid-erations aside, many DVD discs include built-in protection that prevents them from being copied. As we have seen, the first step in the copying process is to select the source and target drives in the InstantCopy window. in addition , InstantCopy provides numerous settings that allow you to adjust and customize the copying process.

In the case of a video DVD, a local copy of the files as they should appear on the DVD. InstantCopy will ask you to choose an ifo file that is contained in a folder named "Video_ts". That folder is created if you use a third-party product to copy a DVD to the hard drive, or if you use InstantCopy to copy a DVD that does not have CSS encryption. Copying from CD or DVD to the hard drive creates a pdi file, which can be the source for sub-sequent copies to disc.
