bad quality dvd using dvd2one for 3Hrs movies need help

hiya all,
i've been using dvd2one for a long time and had no problems with any films until i tried an asian/bollywood movie (approx 3hrs). ripped as usually(smart ripper = 6.5gbs) compressed it using dvd2one and burned via nero on traxdata 4x and datawrite 1x final result = poor quality. i.e. i open the folder contain the file compressed by dvd2one and played then via power dvd the copression resulted into poor quality output i.e. dvd2one cannot compress movies over 2.5hrs. any suggestions. thanx

 

I have compress movies that are 7 gig with DVD2One and I have no problem...they look great. The problem sometimes is that the quality to begin with suck, and then you try to compress that... then it just gets worst.

I agree, the quality is great !!!

Even the 3hr movies ! like Green Mile, Apocalypse Now and LOTR

 

Are you keeping the menu's in there or doing movie only? I would suggest doing movie only if the quality is getting bad by keeping the menus. /shrug

 

cheers for your advice just one small issue which is the best software for spilting dvds?
thanx all shovel

 

There are many ways to split dvd to 2 blanks. Many are free if you dont mind spending several hours to do it. There are guides here as well as many other fourms to walk you through it. If you just want a true same quality backup to 2 disks and dont want to spend several hours doing it then dvdxcopy is the way to go.

 

I use DVDXcopy. It splits movies automatically for you. VERY easy to use.

 

have bought dvd2one, dvdxcopy, dvdxcopyxpress, and each has its uses. I find that most movies i make with dvddycrypter, dvd2one, nero. have done long, and short movies, all look great. I only backup the movie, nothing else. if you do the whole disk, then you need dvdxcopy, which splits into 2 disks.

 

What you've got to remember is that normally when you're checking out the quality of a compressed DVD rip on your PC, you're sitting less than a foot from the monitor.

When you're actually watching DVD's in full - chances are you're sitting much further away from the screen, and as such I've found that any loss of quality becomes much less visible.

In any case - I've found that even in full disc mode, the longest DVD's I own (LOTR and Casino) come out really well after DVD2One has compressed them down to 4.36Gb. Once you strip out foreign language tracks, subtitles, menus etc - you're laughing.

 

use dvddecrypter, dvd2one and nero express

used above method to do T2 s.e.
watched it on 32"widescreen
actors looked perfect
but the fore ground was noticabley blocky
this film was only about 2 1\2 hours long
not 3hrs
what went wrong?
if lotr was perfect

 

while im here
i did 28 days later using DVDshrink (thanks afterdawn)
auto compressed still to long so all i did was go into its cut room took out the adverts for other films got it small enougth burnt it
it starts with the film no menus and at the end it shows all the extras one after the other still no menus where did all the menus go???

 

My procedure, which hasn't failed yet is as follows :-

Smartripper (Backup Mode).
DVD2One v1.3 (Full Disc compress to 4472Mb).
Nero (burn at x1 speed).
