I didn't see you mention. Some DVDs will not show Program name, season or disk # in number which can be a problem with a set such as TV Series. They may have a generic name or if you are dealing with home made DVD using same recorder. You can change output to add those things by clicking "Set Tag" There are 2 places you want to change Name and Target Name. That way you can at least differentiate them. Players such as VLC use the "Target Name" in playlist vs the File folder on computer will use "Name" In either case it will use those 2 fields to name output files and add Title # after it.

Hello, if you want to, WinX does have the ability to make a mirror image of your DVD. To answer your question, the software does allow you to select different outputs, however, I have never attempted to split the video and audio into separate files. If you are interested we do have 3 part video demo using MakeMKV and Handbreak. These are also very effective for burning DVDs and BlueRays.

Hello Neil, from my understanding it will keep original video and original 5.1 audio. I do not believe it will upscale audio to 5.1. I hope this helps. It would mean a lot if you would consider subscribing to the channel. Thanks for watching and your question.
I've followed your steps and have been successful, however, there are a few DvDs that won't burn. They pretend like they do, and then when I click on the file, it's just the FBI disclaimer, like 22 seconds. Nothing more. And I've selected the "main title" file that says it's like an hour 45 min. What am I doing wrong? Also, I'm using filebot and its great, but is there any way possible to get the files to also have the DvD cover? Like the movie cover photo?
Hi, from time to time you will find movies that are not burnable. Not many but I have had issues with many Disney movies for example. As for the covers, no, you are talking able meta data. However, if you use a player like Plex, it will find and create movie posters for each movie. We have a few videos on using Plex. Thanks for watching and subscribing to our channel.
@NeedyCatMedia thanks! The movies I'm trying to burn aren't Disney, and now, some are burning only 20 minutes or half, no matter what I do. I should just assume those aren't burnable? No way around them? I'm digitizing our collection of 800 movies and man it's a process! LOL
Yes, it is. We burned over 500, and it took me a while using two PC’s. Good luck and thanks again for watching our videos and for the question. We appreciate it. Best of luck
Hi there, I honestly have not attempted to capture more than the video and sound content when ripping videos, but I will take another look and see if I can help you. I will get back to you soon. Thanks for watching and consider subscribing. We would really appreciate your support.
You can click on the audio for each individual track and burn that audio with the video but I don't know how to burn more than one audio track with the video. So if you want the audio commentary, you have to burn the video twice, once for each audio track. That's a lot of wasted disc space.🙄@@NeedyCatMedia
Step 1: Insert a DVD Movie Insert any kind of DVD (commercial, self-created or copy-protected DVD) onto you DVD-ROM. Click on "DVD Disc" button to import the DVD to the software. It will take a moment to choose the right title. Step2: Select Full Title Copy Select 'Full Title Copy' profile under 'DVD Backup' options. Full Title Copy allows you to copy DVD to MPEG 2 file while maintaining all the tracks, (while Main Title Content Copy allows you to save the DVD with selected audio/video tracks). Besides, you can also take advantages of the DVD backup profile to clone DVD to a folder, copy DVD main title with selected language or audio track, and even create ISO image from DVD at 1:1 ratio or go the device profile to convert DVD to digital MP4, MOV, AVI, iPhone, iPad, Android, Sony, etc. DVD Full Title Copy Full Title DVD Copy Step 3: Set Output Video Parameters and Select the Destination Folder WinX DVD Ripper Platinum allows you to set parameters of the output video, such as frame rate, video/audio codec, and resolution. You can choose proper values according to your own need. Then select the Destination folder. Step 4: Start Copying Click RUN button to start copying DVD main title to MPG file. After very few minutes, you can find the MPG file in the destination folder.
Hello, I found this information from the website, it looks like the only way to can copy everything is to create a full image copy. I have included the steps for you to follow. I hope this helps.
Thanks, yeah, I've had to make multiple full copies just to capture the bonus audio track. Not great but the program otherwise works very well. Thanks for the response to my question.👏
It would be great if WINX DVD worked. I tried the Trial version of WINX DVD COPY PRO. In the software, I chose Clone DVD to DVD because I wanted a duplicate (exact copy of) DVD. In a couple of seconds it said copied to HD and wanted me to put in a blank DVD. After that, Ot went back to the Run page (opening page, i suppose). Isn't that what I must do to make a second copy/duplicate? Upon clicking a start/run button, it wanted to know if I wanted to buy the Winx DVD Copy Pro, and along side a couple of right-facing arrows I used to progress. What happened and why make this software so difficult?
Hi Jerry, sorry for the delay on replying to your question. I don't have my DVD burner anymore, but I was able to create a ISO full copy of a DVD. I have never used the trial version. Because I was able to create a clone it appears this feature is not available within the trial version. Sorry you had difficulty.
Thanks, NCM for your response. Please clarify your statement. Did you use a ISO feature in winx dvd to create a playable disc? The WinX DVD supposed to be a fully functional trial for an allotted number of times/or time frame, so it essentially led me to believe it could burn a disc. I am hoping you or someone can clarify what I need to do to accomplish this. thanks NCM and others for your help.
@jerrymontalbano3222 , Yes, within Win DVD, I clicked on DVD, selected my drive, and the clicked on DVD backup then clone DVD to ISO. Its then created the file. When I clicked on the file it did play for me. I hope this helped
Thanks Needy. However, I want to play it from a "burned DVD". I suppose it takes the ISO and "unraps" it into DVD files on the disc to make it playable? (compression a little close to Zip which needs to be unzipped, but not to be playable into MPEG-2 format like the ISO. Is that right? I suppose the WINX DVD can do the ISO burn into MPEG-2/4 capability? (I'm a novice, so have mercy).
Not having 100% luck with the ripping - seems that DVDs with special encoding - Disney mostly - are not working. Even when I create ISO files they are not playable. Has anyone used a better program?
You can try Make MKV and Handbreak. We have a video series on how that process works. Maybe that will work you. Thanks for comment, we hope you will check out those videos and consider subscribing.
@@NeedyCatMedia Was able to get MKV/Handbrake to work on the ones that wouldn't work with WinxDVD. Now Winxdvd is making a refund very difficult by forcing hoop jumping to trouble shoot and nothing has worked, now they want SCREEN SHOTS!!! LOL Have used their product before but will not be using them again.
I just up graded my computer with a Ryzen 7 5700 with 8 core , 4 sticks of 8gb each of ram and 1650 GPU all this in hope to speed up the ripping of the iso image. My questions has to do with the hardware acceleration, does it help or interfer if I check the Intel box and Nvidia box and change CPU core used to 8 ?
Sound like you built a beast of a PC. It should not hurt the process, but with 8 cores I don’t think you need it. The video you are commenting on is for DVD ripping which are small in file size. For Blue Ray you should check out the three part video using hand break and makeMKV. Good luck and thanks for watching. If you have not done so, please consider subscribing.
@@NeedyCatMedia I am aware what winx is used for but I was wondering if using their hardware acceleration part of Intel, Nvidia and checking 8 core will speed up the process or counteract my hardware?
Normally the accelerated process work with either your GPU or CPU but not both. From my experience using the GPU will deliver better results. When I use the software,I don’t use it, but that was because I was happy with the processing time per DVD. I would try it with and without and see if it works as you intended. In general, having a beefier rig will help speed up the ripping and decoding processes. Thanks for all questions.
This isn't any easier than Make MKV. Not sure what you are showing or trying to show here as this isn't any different. Handbrake doesn't have to be used its an option step to save you some file space.
Hi and thanks for comment. You are right about the file size. However, using both my opinion is WinX delivers better results, and it compresses the file. I would say it’s all about preference. Thank you for watching our video. We have a lot of great content, so I hope you check out the channel. Please consider subscribing, we would appreciate your support.
I don't think it can rip on 5.1 surround sound (6 channels). Now when clicking in to Property, it will show 6 channels audio, but is not true. If you open the video on Davinci Resolve video editor, you'll see that the dvd is ripped on 2 channels, not 6!
Hi, DR should only show you 1 video and 2 Audio. If the DVD was recorded in 5:1 then so will the ripped version. They will sound the same. I am big on solid audio. Great comment, hops the video was helpful. Please consider subscribing to our channel. Best Regards, W
@@NeedyCatMedia Unfortunately this is not true. @AbigailJrney-1 is 100% right. I made a CZcams video about this 3 years ago about this issue and used Davinci Resolve to prove it. I am a professional video and sound editor and have experience with creating 5.1 and 7.1 soundtracks. WinX will take the 5.1 and put all channels into two and then leave the rest of the channels blank. So your file will say 6 channels but it's actually not. 2 channels will have all the audio together and the rest are left empty. When you play it back you will only get sound from your front speakers. If someone doesn't need 5.1 then yes WinX is fast and works great but for anyone who wants the true 5.1 original soundtrack they won't get it with this. I spoke with WinX about this at the time and they told me they never claimed it will output to 5.1 even though they have AC3 as an output option. I have seen others comment recently that WinX flat out told them their program doesn't output to proper 6 channels. I am not sure why they haven't made it possible yet.
Every DVD will have more than 1 file. Look for the one that is close to 2 hours long, or however long the movie is. Check that box and leave the others unchecked. Then click run. Let me know if that works.
Ok. I have another question. I want to CLONE my TV show DVD sets that I purchased, to blank DVD's. (I have the blanks and the burner). But here's the situation and I'll try to be as layman as I can in explaining it without being wordy. The Season 1 of the show comes with 2 DVD's each having 5-6 episodes on it. I put disc 1 (5 episodes) and rip them. No problem. But then when I go to transfer them to the blank DVD, it only allows me to burn 2 or the 5 episodes? Why???? The "original" standard DVD held 5 episodes so why doesn't the blank one??
Hello Johnny, In response to your question, according to the WinX website you can make a fun copy of any DVD by creating a ISO image; which is playable. I have never tried to use this function, for I put all my backup movie file on my home media server. I hope this helps. On the main interface is where you will find the ISO Image button. I hope this helps!
@@NeedyCatMedia I made the ISO image. Can you give me step by step instructions of what to do next in order to now burn it to a DVD blank disc? ISO is a whole new world for me.
Hi Johnny, sorry for the delay. Burning an ISO image to a blank DVD is the same as burning your video file. Then, once completed it should play like the original. I don't believe there is anything special you need to do. I wish I had some blank DVD's to test it, but from what I can read online it should be fine. Let me know how it goes.
I unfortunately no longer have a dvd burner drive, but that is what you need to store files to a dvd. I am sure Amazon still carries them. The process is simple though. Once you have the drive which normally comes with burning software it’s as simple as drag and drop. You will also need to purchase blank recordable dvds. An alternative to dvds have you thought about using a flash drive? If you are thinking about watching movies most TVs have a usb, and using a flash drive make it easy.
No, I mean you explained very well how to use WinX. But when I'm done, what program do I use on my PC to drag and drop the files to in order to burn a DVD. I already have the DVD external burner hooked up to my PC. @@NeedyCatMedia
Good morning, I would suggest trying WinX DVD Author. It’s appears to be 100% free. Now I have never used it, but seeing it from the WinX I would bet it’s decent. If you try it let me know how it goes. To answer your question on which file to burn. It would be the single file created. My guess when you ripped the movie DVD you created either a MKV or MP4 file.
I didn't see you mention. Some DVDs will not show Program name, season or disk # in number which can be a problem with a set such as TV Series. They may have a generic name or if you are dealing with home made DVD using same recorder.
