FAST DVD COPY 4
The First Digital Copy Software for Mac OS X
Including New Rip Only and Rip & Compress Modes!
Make your Superdrive Scream!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Seattle, WA --- June 1, 2005 --- Velan Software announces today the release
of FAST DVD COPY 4, the first software built for Mac OS X that allows users
to copy their DVD video collections, Audio CD collections, PlayStation 2
games, DVD-ROMs or CDROMs without losing any quality from the original.
FAST DVD COPY 4 is the most powerful digital technology copy software for
Mac available on the market today.

FAST DVD COPY 4 includes two new modes: Rip Only and Rip & Compress.

These
allow the users, among other things, to test the resulting VIDEO_TS folder
before burning the copy or to store a bunch of DVDs on a hard drive for
later compressing and burning.

"I love this software, it's so flexible and easy to use! The quality of the
copies is even better in this new version, and the process is faster. FAST
DVD COPY can also handle the latest protections and was the first to
support Tiger. Velan is constantly including new features and keeping the
technology up to date. With FAST DVD COPY 4 I now have the flexibility to
rip my DVDs first and then compress and burn later when I have the time to
do it, or I can even store some of my DVDs on my hard drive.

The new interface
is simpler and clearer to use than ever. By far, FAST DVD COPY 4 is the
best option to back up my DVD library" said Bryce Ferguson, a user of the
software.
