"If your software doesn't, try VCDEasy (www.vcdeasy.org), a shareware program that creates disc images from MPEG files."

Once again the masses get screwed with innacurate info and it sounds like PCMag was paid off by 321Studios (that's a joke now...take it easy)

Hmm... How much did it cost to get your site link in there? j/k
In testing, we purchased and downloaded a number of other programs that claimed to copy commercial DVDs to single or multiple DVD-Rs, but only DVD X Copy and InstantCopy worked as advertised.
No mention of the other 3 programs in here, unless they don't work as advertised? I guess it's safe to say Jan doesn't visit here.

Oh, and the time-warp, the article is dated June 17, 2003.

Jan Ozer, shame on you!

Oh and:
Because the hacks require fairly advanced knowledge of digital-video technology, we recommend them only for serious enthusiasts.
You surely have shown you aren't one of them, Jan, shame on you twice!
