Velan Software has announced the release of Fast DVD Copy 4, its software for Mac OS X that allows users to copy DVD videos, audio CDs, PlayStation 2 games, DVD-ROMs and CD-ROMs. New features in this release include two new modes: Rip Only and Rip & Compress. It’s available for online purchase and download for US$99.95; upgrades from previous versions are free. A trial version is available for download.
The new Rip Only feature enables users who are copying the contents of DVD video discs to store the content on their hard drives for later burning. The Rip & Compress feature lets users copy the contents of dual-layer DVD videos to one single-layer DVD-R(W) disc instead.
System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.2.4 or later, 17GB free hard disk space, Apple SuperDrive for any DVD burner that’s compatible with Mac OS X, blank discs and Internet connection.
