BlindWrite extracts all the characteristics of your disc to your harddrive to reproduce a working copy. It allows you to protect your investments against damages caused by children, scratches or problems caused by frequent usage. As a side effect of the used technology, this product can also backup some protected media. It is illegal to copy media you don't own! Consult your legal advisor first. This Product creates 1:1 copies, it is maybe not the most appropriate for DVD movie copies as the source is often near to 9 GB, when the destination and most blank DVD media only hold 5 GB. For DVD movie projects please choose CopyToDVD. For double layer (DL) media this will do the job. Now the software works for Blu-ray disc too BD25 and BD50 copy possible.

Reviewing 6.0.4.33 (May 9, 2007)
After pulling my hair out trying to identify the source of repeated hard lock-ups (i.e. frozen mouse pointer) under Windows Vista Ultimate (32-bit) I took a guess and uninstalled the only recent addition to my otherwise rock-stable Dell XPS M1710 configuration: BlindWrite 6.4.
Problem solved! :-)
Note to the Author: A little more testing before releasing something that can hose the Windows kernel!

Reviewing 6.0.1.19 (Apr 14, 2007)
1. It's interesting how each of the relatively negative reviews I've written about BlindWrite over the past couple years have been removed. Gotta love this site.
2. "vcorvinus", you are obviously associated with dieselsoft.com, since they charge $31.49 for what may or may not be a legitimate license for BlindWrite, yet if it is purchased directly, it can be had for only $30.00, by default. And if you enter the coupon code "discount", as they plainly display on their web site, you get a direct 10% discount! Let's see... $31.49 from a third-party, or $27.00 direct... Hmmm, tough choice! So much for your "10% discount"!
Reviewing 6.0.0.18 (Sep 15, 2006)
dougau: You are wrong - keys are valid for ANY release of the product you bought within one year of purchase. The keys do NOT expire after one year - you can reinstall your original purchase, (and any upgrades that happened within a year), using your original key. That's why my 2 year-old key still works on any version of BlindWrite 5 because I purchased v4 just before v5 came out.
On to the program: it does it's best at making a bit -for-bit replica of the media while trying to take away much of the fiddly options associated with doing the job - i.e. copy with SD4, SecureROM , etc, parameters.
However, I'd like to see some way of being able to tweak it's engine, (for those that want to), to get the best out of it.
