Well I've only had my A05 a few days, but for me DVD2one cannot be beat so far. I've tried Pinnacle Instant Copy 7 but there seems to be quite a number of bugs still in the soft.
Also remember to check DVD's first to make sure whether they are DVD 9 or DVD 5, I've been surprised at how many DVD's I've scanned are DVD 5. You can check this, and then back them up too, using the excellent & FREE DVD Decrypter.
And for PS2 games many reckon Stomp RecordNow MAX! to be about the best, check out psx_paul's excellent tutorial on backing up PS2 games in the tutorial section.
HTH

OK, most retail DVD's are dual-layer which = DVD 9
Some however are single layer which = DVD 5
The DVD-R/DVD+R you burn on your DVDRW drive are ALL single layer 4.7 GB = DVD 5
---------------------------------------------
So in reality a DVD 5 DVD can be backed up almost as easily as the average music CD, you still have to rip it to your HD first to remove the macrovision/region prot, etc first though. Then you can easily burn the image back to DVDR.
With the bigger dual-layer DVD 9 DVD's things are of course not so easy, the new kids on the block (Such as DVD20ne & Instant Copy 7) get around a lot of steps by using a clever process of transcoding which makes it much easier & quicker to copy a DVD than using the old tried & trusted methods. In the case of DVD2one for instance it only seems to take aprox 20 minutes to do this after ripping which truly is amazing.
Hope this explains it clearly.
