He's talking about converting avi's and the like and burning them to a dvd, in what i assume is dvd format, not about making copies of retail dvds.
but since you brought it up, can you still get the DVDXcopy registered/activated (even in Canada). As far as I know the servers are 'shut down' or at least dont allow activation of 'new' product. If there is a way to get a copy activated PM or email me.
