Now 2013 is wrapping up, some of us are clearing up the stuff bought this year which includes hot movies DVDs such as Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, Superman: Man of Steal, Pacific Rim, etc. A safe way to protect these DVDs from damage or scratch is make a digital copy on your computer or even make a duplicate - clone DVD to DVD discs. It is an easy job as we can find lots of DVD backup tools from the internet. But today I would like to recommend a powerful DVD copy software without paying a cent, i.e. WinX DVD Copy Pro from Digiarty Software, Inc.

WinX DVD Copy Pro is a universal DVD copy software to help DVD collectors back up their DVDs for safe storage, later burning or playing. It offers four main options to back up DVDs, including clone DVD to blank DVD disc, copy DVD to ISO image, copy DVD to VIDEO_TS folder and copy DVD to MPEG2 format while keeping 5.1 channel AC3/DTS Dolby audio effect. In my opinion, WinX DVD Copy Pro will definitely meet your daily DVD backup requirements.
