   Working with AVS DVD Copy

Overview

The main work modes of the 

AVS DVD Copy

 are:

Copy DVD 

- use this mode to copy video DVD from one disc to another. The source disc will

be analyzed and, if you would like to copy from a greater size disc to a smaller size one,
recompressed to fit the target size. You can also remove unwanted languages, menus and
extras, if needed.

1.

Copy CD 

- use this mode to create exact copies of DVDs, CDs and BDs. No data will be

changed, so you will need to use the identical disc types for both source and target.

2.

Burn Discs 

- use these modes to record different type of files onto CDs, DVDs and BDs. You

can record DVD video (

Burn DVD

 ), all kind of data (

Burn DATA

 ) and ISO-images (

Burn

ISO

 ) onto your target disc.
