Pinnacle Instant Copy is one of those tools used to make backups of DVD discs. The software is best known for its high quality compression engine, that has been voted many times as the best available, but this comes with a disadvantage, it's also much, much slower then any other application.
There were already rumors available that a new version of Pinnacle Instant Copy would be released with a faster engine and we asked Pinnacle for more information. We received the new features for Instant Copy 8.0. The new version basically seems to be introducing a new method of compressing the movie, more re-authoring capabilities and a virtual drive.
|  Pinnacle Instant Copy 8.0 features:
- Direct-to-Disc - this unique feature enables practically no additional time for burning. Unlike competitors, who must read and analyze the content completely before burning, InstantCopy 8.0's high speed mode starts the burning process immediately after the copying process starts. The ability to copy and burn at the same time speeds up and simplifies copying, especially when going from a dual-layer DVD to a single blank disc.
- Its your choice. Users can now copy DVDs 4 times faster with the same quality as the competition, or the slower method, which compromises speed with quality. This slower method gives you the super high quality that InstantCopy is famous for.
- And, along with removing audio tracks, subtitles, navigation restrictions, and DVD-ROM content, users can now select which video tracks they wish to use. Remove unwanted video tracks and increase the quality of your copy even more.
- Finally, InstantDrive is included which now allows users to copy a CD or DVD directly to a virtual drive on their hard disc. This feature also lets users visualize disc images before burning them to DVD.
