HMM..my friend, it is a given for people that have done it before, or read the guides/search the forum. I can't tell you how many threads I encountered when people try to burn a DVD in a DVD-ROM drive, or need help with a link for the glossary, as they are confused between rip/decrypt/transcode/encode/shrink, or just have DVD Shrink and say :Hey, why can't I burn to the DVD, Shrink always puts the files to my hard drive". Well, you don't have a burning engine installed, that's why. I think it would be a mistake on our part if we assume that many new posters have that knowledge encompassed in the "it's a given part". I personally encountered at least half a dozen times people that said "Nero Recode has the option to copy a DVD to DVD but then I get this error...."
Ok, I've decided I'm gonna go with DVDFab Platinum. Can someone just take a look at the provided link and make certain I'm ordering the correct one. I'm 99% sure it is but I want to be safe and check with all you very informative people. Thanks http://www.dvdfab.com/fi/dvd-fab-platinum.htm
Ok, I got DVDFab and now I have my first question. I want to burn Rocky. When I first insert it and go to burn the movie only, I get 67% quality. In the top right corner I see Audio options. There are 3 types in English... one is dolby digital ac-3/5.1 second is dts/5.1 third is dolby digital ac-3/2 What are the differences between these 3? Do I need all 3? If I remove two of them, I can get anywhere from 74-80% quality.
dts i think is the big file and unless you have a digital sound ditch that one AC3 5.1 is for a 5.1 speaker system (5 speaker home surround sound setup) AC3 2.1 is good ol stereo (2 speaker like on tv's)
As Rotary rightly said unless you've got the proper set up, receiver and speakers to process DTS signals, then get rid of that, applies to any film. 5.1 Channel AC3/Dolby is usually the main audio stream/dialogue in any movie these days, so always keep that ticked. The 2 Channel AC3 could be downmixed version of the main stream for "stereo" setups, or it could be the directory's commentary (voice overs) as these are usually encoded at lower quality. Try playing that stream on your PC and see what it is exactly.
Set up DVDFab HD Decrypter to automatically select English-Dolby Digital, and whatever subtitles you want(if you want any), and you are set.Easy bam-burn!
