But unless you rip the DVD and convert it to some (poorer) quality format
(=
DivX etc) you'll always have to copy a dual layel disc to 2 DVR-R's etc
(un=
til multi layer recorders come out).



The latest version of DVDXCopy is meant to fully support PAL DVD's. Mind
yo=
u, I haven't had any problems using the older versions (but only copied a
f=
ew DVD's so far). The developers seem to be very quick with their updates.

I've had 2-3 updates in the last few weeks.

It's not bad, pretty good is stretching it a bit ;)

The biggest annoyance being that it 99/100 copies one movie to two
discs, not the be all and end all I agree, but nonetheless annoying.

Sony DRU500 writer I assume you mean.

No idea, no-one seems to have any stock ATM :(

Well the first one I paid =A3219 for, but it turned out that was an
error,<=

the second was =A3240 IIRC.
