DVD Wizard Pro Review
DVD Wizard Pro offers the basic functions that you would expect from a piece of DVD copy software, and not too much more than that. It runs smoothly, and is fairly fast. The program is also stable and does not often freeze or crash. It sits near the top of the list of programs because of one major feature that is not offered in most other DVD copy software, however, which is copying XBOX or PS2 games. This is great for those who are gamers and have large collections of XBOX or PS2 games that they wish to backup.
DVD Wizard Pro's score is kept down by the fact that it doesn't offer video compression, and has no support for episodic DVDs. This means that there is no way to squeeze original video files or game files into smaller files. Some files, such as movies, may prove to be too large to copy onto a single disc and may have to be copied over 2 discs. This makes it that much more inconvenient and also means spending another disc on what could have been copied onto a single disc.
For people who have DVDs in their collection of TV series or other programs with multiple episodes, having DVD copy software with episodic support is extremely important. Only this way will you be able to recreate the separation between episodes on the copied DVD. Without episodic support, the copied DVD will simply run as one long movie, and in order to skip to a particular episode you will simply have to fast forward the video until you reach that episode. Having to do this with every episode that you wish to watch may prove to be annoying and frustrating after some time.
DVD Wizard Pro also offers the ability to record your old VCR tapes to DVD format. For those who have collections of VCR tapes that they are reluctant to part with, this is the perfect solution. Many of the movies that people have on VCR tapes are simply too old to be available in DVD format. It is for this reason that a large number of people still keep VCR tapes, even though they are no longer in use in most countries of the world. With DVD Wizard Pro, you will be able to get rid of the large and bulky VCR tapes and store all of your old movies on sleek and compact DVDs instead. This can free up large amounts of space in your home for other, more important, purposes.
The quality of the images on copied DVDs is good, and the picture is generally as clear and sharp as on the original DVD. This is mostly because compression is not available with this software, so there is no chance for the video to become distorted or unclear through compression. The copied DVDs are also of good quality, and they do not contain errors or bad segments.
In terms of price, DVD Wizard Pro beats the DVD copy programs ranked above it on our site. It is available for the relatively low price of $39 USD. This is roughly equivalent to the price of most XBOX and PS2 games. It could therefore be a good investment if you are able to save even a single of your XBOX or PS2 games by backing them up.
So if you have any number of XBOX or PS2 games, then you should definitely consider purchasing DVD Wizard Pro so that you are able to back them up. Of course, you will also be able to back up your DVD movie collection along with your games. In addition to that, if you own VCR tapes, you will also be able to obtain digital backup copies of them. This makes DVD Wizard Pro the ideal DVD copy software for anyone with large collections of media on the various forms of media storage. For those who are simply looking for a straightforward DVD copying and burning software, then DVD Wizard Pro is not the best software for your purposes. |
