Dvd-Cloner II cuts my movies in half, not what you think: HELP!

I may get that one. However, based on the fact that I am limited to only one horse...here is my stats. DC2 for the most part decrypts and compresses in one click in about 16 to 21 minutes. Depending on the movie. For the most part it is almost always 20 minutes. The burn time on my stuff is 8 minutes. I think I will go ahead and get the duo you suggested. Also I did some reading and searches about sony's new stuff based on a post you had made. My question is "Little Black Book" Does it have Sony's new encrytion on it?

 

Heh, heh, wish I could answer that -

I am running the newest AnyDVD and, as we speak I ripped, that DVD with DVD Decrypter and am planning on editing then backing it up with recode2. The rip is complete with not a wimper and recode is encoding the widescreen verison right now - So far nothing and I see no problem from here on -

Cheers,

Pete

 

I have been using the combination of dvd shrink and decrypter to burn my movies for a few months now (thanks for that great tutorial steve) Anyways, my issue is, it TAKES FOREVER. Not so much in the burning process but the compression with shrink. I was wondering if there was a better combination out there that could help speed this up for me. I know that part of my problem is the setup i have. I am running on 256MB SDram (SD could be prob not sure) with 2 ghz pentium processor. Is there any hope to cutting the time down? Its taking anywhere from 2-4 hours just to shrink a movie.

 

Actually bocheboy the time you're speaking of is probably because you are using the "quality settings" (Deep Analysis & Quality settings), or at least you should be. When doing a good quality, the encoding slows waaay down and in some apps it does it 2X to ensure a better quality backup.

Quality = time
Poor Quality = less time

Uncheck the "Quality settings" in "Backup" that will speed things up quite a bit.

A lot of your time is do to your 256 of RAM. RAM is cheap. Put at least another 256MG in there and that will help.

Me, I like a good quality backup and even with my system, it does go slow but I let t work all through the night.

I hope that helps -

I have a quick question does anyone know for dvd cloner II do you have to activate the CSS decryption when copying a disc or does it automatically pick it up.

 

Sorry, I can't help you on that . . .

Are you sure that DVD Cloner has a ripper ? I thought it was like most proggys and lacked the ripper.

Let me know on that, OK ?

Cheers,

 

As far as I know it does. When I bought it from their website and searched reviews both said that it has CSS encryption preinstalled. However when I put a CSS disc in to copy it will not. Plus their service sucks it is all through e-mail and they give the same damn reply for every question just worded slightly different.

 

Just use the best on the planet

AnyDVD & CloneDVD2

do those programs have the css decryption?

 

AnyDVD does and it is has the latest copy protection fix. It's updated as soon as a new type is found.

It's the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

For the $$$$ AnyDVD does them all -

For FREE DVD Decrypter only misses the newest protection called Settec ALPHA-DVD.

Sometimes you have to wait for a "patch" (called a PSL list) to come out and then the newer encryptions are taken care of - - -

BUT for $39.99 (USD) AnyDVD keeps your ripper up-to-date and all you have to do is download their updates.

I have both and experience no problem at all with any discs.

Wow really so it takes care of the copyright protection and it only costs 40.00 dollars thats great. I paid 59.99 for DVD Cloner II and it is a piece of crap. I will definitely be getting a refund and getting that program. Thanks for the suggestion. How easy is it to use? And how many steps does it take? --ImpalaSS

 

AnyDVD is as easy to use as it can be . . .

It works in the background, requiring you to do nothing. When you put a disc in your drive AnyDVD will rip it "automatically." You have only to pickup the files with whatever proggy you wish, analysize, encode, compress and burn them to disc. Even DVD ClonerII will work with files whose encryption has been removed -

Try the 21-day trial and see how you like it . . .

Thanks you've been a huge help Pete

 

@ScubaPete

You seem to be quite active with helping newbies, but at the same time you are just as active to flame them, is this how you make youself feel better and more important?

You carry on like you own this forum, you think you are Admin or a Moderator from what I read in your posts, sorry to disappoint you Pete but you are just a regular member with no more rights in this forum than any other member, but dont worry, keep trying to rack up posts and you might just eventually get that elusive Mod position that you are obviously striving to achieve, good luck.
