I downloaded and tested this with a new DVD release that included subtitles and bonus features. While it couldn't fit the bonus features (and had to reduce the quality from "highest" to "good"), it burned successfully and plays via an Xbox.

It took approximately two hours, most of it in the copying and compression period.

I previously tested version 2.2 with a different DVD (Election). That copied in its entirety at the "highest" quality and played successfully on the Xbox.

I'm running 10.3.4 on a 1.5 GHz 17" PowerBook with 1 GB of RAM.

I previously used DVDXCopy with Windows XP with mixed (but mostly successful) results. One nice feature about DVDXCopy was the ability to copy (at the highest quality with all bonus features) using two discs. Fast DVD Copy appears to only allow for one disc. DVDXCopy only seemed to work if you turned Norton Security off and didn't have ANY other applications open whereas Fast DVD Copy worked fine in the background with a number of applications in use.

For now, I'm a satisfied customer. But, if I need to switch computers or if I have any tech support issues, perhaps that will be a different story.

This seems to be the best solution for Mac OS X and unlike the makers of DVDXCopy, AfterDawn.com, this company has not been shut down by the federal courts. Given their location outside the US, perhaps Velan will continue to develop and support this product.
