I have been reading the forum, but stll a little confused. What program or programs which are easy to use will copy an entire disk with good quality. DVD Shrink can only compress so far. I do not understand the sizing portion of DVD95Copy. And the new DVDCCopy is still very buggy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
To answer your 2 questions.... Easy- DVD Shrink Best- (imho) Rip with DVD Decrypter Compress with DVD2one Burn with Record Now There's a detailed description in my signature. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]All the bruning info you need to start is here: http://www.dvdrhelp.com/forum/userguides/141024.php#dvd9dvd2one[/small]
What if you don't mind if the movie has to span 2 discs but want to preserve quality 100% and in some cases menu's languages subtitles, etc. etc. etc.
I think thats DVD Express. You could use it with DVD shrink in re-author mode and using TMPGEnc DVD Author, but its a bit complicated.
I've never found a need to span 2 discs yet. Personally I don't care much for the "bonus material" found on the disc, so once I strip all that out there is little or no extra compression required. Keep in mind that by definition DVD's are already compressed (MPEG compression) so I don't find the small amout of extra compression noticable at all. I find the biggest issue surrounding compression artifacts is the speed of the computer and the resources you leave it with. (for instance, you will get a poor compression if you try to run DVD2one and Quake at the same time.)
I appreciate the feedback everyone. I think unless the difference is that noticable, Id rather have everything on one disc. I'll try DVD2one. Can you tell me though if there is any diff between DVD2one and CloneDVD?
I usually don't care about the extra's (sometimes they're nice) but I like having the extra langauges and stuff like that. No better way to brush up on a foreign language than watching you're favorite movie (aside from traveling to the country in question I guess).
