If anyone can confirm any of these, I'd appreciate it. I guess you can kind of call this a working bug list.

1) This is the strangest. Lets say you move the Start Menu folder that InstantCopy creates. You move it like inside of Accessories or something. When you go to run InstantCopy again, it forces a reinstall of itself. That is just odd.

2) On some DVD's, the DVD InstantCopy creates is around 4gb, much smaller than it could be. (This has been discussed here at length already)

3) No Volume Labels.

4) If a VOB contains a VOB ID that is not referenced in the .IFO file, InstantCopy crashes with the error "List out of Bounds" or something like that. This occurs if you say remove the Rating screen from a movie by using the "Delete Playback" option on IFOEdit, on the VOB ID you want to remove.

5) Interference with some outside VOB programs, like VOBrator.

1) sounds like copy protection in action
2) confirmed numerous times like you said
3) minor..very minor thing. Would be nice though
4) sounds reasonable...when you deselect titles in IC it'll still analyze them when doing that 5 pass analyze thing.
5) no clue

As for that being copy protection... thats not a very good way of doing it. I like to keep all my DVD programs in a sub dir in my Start Menu, I can't move InstantCopy there without it trying to reinstall itself. And when it reinstalls itself, it creates the original start menu entry again, making it impossible to run it from a sub dir. :(

This is just a screwy shortcut. Dazzle's DVD Complete 2 does the same thing. Just make a new shortcut to the "multicopy.exe" file in your Instantcopy folder.
