Longo DVD Copy — Review: Features, Speed, and Best Settings

Summary: Longo DVD Copy is a lightweight Windows DVD backup tool (trial/paid) from Longo Bluray Soft focused on copying DVDs to blank discs, ISO files, or VIDEO_TS folders. It offers basic copy modes and burning options suited for casual backups; it’s not as actively updated or feature-rich as major paid tools.

Key features

• Protection handling: Built-in support for many common commercial DVD protections (varies by version).

• Task options: Delete temp files after job, shut down PC on completion, ignore read errors.
• Logs: Export job logs for troubleshooting.
• Usability: Simple, clean UI and basic online help/manual.

Performance & speed

• Typical real-world speed depends on drive, disc condition, and PC: copying a 2-hour movie often takes 30–60 minutes on midrange hardware (reported times vary).
• Burning speed is constrained by chosen burn speed and disc quality; selecting lower burn speeds (4–8x) often yields more reliable discs.
• Compression (DVD-9 → DVD-5) increases processing time and may slightly reduce video quality depending on compression ratio.
• Older versions/limited updates mean newer DRM schemes may sometimes fail; competitor tools (DVDFab, WinX)
