123 DVD Gold is much more than just a DVD copier. It has many different tools made to satisfy even the most demanding users. While performing some operations can be lengthy, other can be done in a record time. With this software you can copy, customize, burn and build discs from scratch.
123 Copy Gold is a very versatile DVD copy software package. The program has several features you can use to copy your favorite DVDs. You can make duplicates, create a video file to play on any device or create an ISO so you can backup and save your favorite media in case the physical copies get damaged.
Customization is an important quality of any DVD copier. 123 Copy allows you to select which specific files you wish to transfer to your blank DVD. This is useful since some limited, or special edition DVDs have a lot of additional content like trailers, commentary, extras and more. 123 Copy also lets you strip down everything but the movie file from the original DVD so you would only copy the essentials.
This software is much more than just your regular DVD copy program. It has a feature that allows you to convert your video files into different formats so you can play them from your smartphone, tablet or console. Aside from creating duplicate video discs, you can utilize 123 Copy to burn and rip your music CD, individually select everything that you want on a DVD thus creating it from scratch, making data discs and more.
To start with the aesthetics. 123 Copy Gold’s interface is a bit more complicated than other software’s we reviewed. In all fairness, that complexity comes from the abundance of features and tools that can, for some, maybe be a little overwhelming. 123 Copy allows you to convert video files from your DVD to a format that will play on your smartphone, to fully customize what goes on to the disk you’re copying to, to create data discs etc. While it might take you a considerable amount of time to learn how to make the most out of all its tools, once you do, you’ll realize why 123 Copy is one of the best DVD copy software on the market.
If you decide to copy a few DVDs, you’ll probably run into a few warnings urging you to stop since multiplying commercial DVDs is against the law in most countries. Unlike some other top DVD copy products we reviewed, in order to circumvent this anti-piracy encryption, you have to manually download a plugin before you’ll be able to copy any protected DVDs. Although it might seem like a nuisance, the plug in is very easy to find and once you install it, you don’t have to worry about it anymore.
Naturally, one of the most important qualities of a DVD copier has to be its ability to quickly create good quality duplicates. When we tested the software, we recorded it took more than 90 minutes to make an identical copy. This disappointing result is, unfortunately, the slowest time in our review. Comparingly, the time it took the software to compress the same file and fit it onto a smaller size empty disc was the fastest out of all the products we tested.
Like other top tier DVD copiers, 123 Copy Gold allows you to save a DVD’s ISO to your PC. This type of image file is an exact duplicate of your original DVD. You can mount it in one of the virtual drives on your computer, or you can simply store these virtual copies of your favorite DVDs on your PC. If you ever lose the original disc you copied the file from, you can always create a new one, by simply burning the image onto a blanc disc.
While copying files in a traditional way is the quickest and easiest way, in reality each copy is a bit different than the original. To create an absolutely identical copy of your DVD, you’ll have to buy a double-layered disc to do so. Double-layered DVDs are much larger than the regular ones and can hold much more information. When copying your DVD to this kind of disc, there’s no compression which means there’s no quality loss. Although you probably won’t notice the difference in quality if you replay the movie on your PC monitor, you will notice a drastic drop in image quality if you do so on a higher resolution HDTV.
