InstantCopy 8 announced by Pinnacle

[MackemX]

thanks to schlaufer over at Doom9

German HERE

translated English HERE (but doesn't translate too well )

I've been playing with it for a few weeks now and it's been impressive, although there's a couple of little things I would like adding that haven't, but I can't complain as they may be added in updates anyway

I wonder how many will start using IC now it's go the speed option along with the title removal? (even though speed is not an issue with me)

I wonder when the demo is going to be available, if I see anything I'll let you guys know

There's already an illegal copy of it floating about the NET, so it's kinda old news now.

I got the reatil OEM cd today and tryed it.. very impressive so far

So do the people that paid for version 7 get to update to this version or is Pinnacle going to stiff them?

I don't see why they would give IC8 free if you have IC7... maybe a "upgrade price" but not free..

btw this version is really great.. if you like and use IC7, IC8 is a must have

[ddlooping]

"I don't see why they would give IC8 free if you have IC7"

Because I paid $40 for IC7, the first time I used it I got a 2.6GB backup, the 2nd time (after having removed the update) 4.8GB (couldn't burn obviously).

I'll stick with DVD Shrink if only because dvshrink cares about its users.

ddlooping,
Have you backup any dvd that size is 7.5gig+ using shrink or dvd2one? the quality is terrible. The only tool that produce the acceptable quality is IC

$.02

[ddlooping]

A4, have you tried DVD Shrink v3.0 beta 5?
Previous to it I didn't use neither Le Shrink nor DVD2One for 7GB+ movies.
DVD2DVD-R/CCE was my tool of choice.

[tompika]

I put that 10GB+ on a DVDRW I posted a couple of days ago.

DVDShrink 3 + Deep Analysis.

The quality is like a SVCD, still OK.

Usually I dont do this, I was just curious

[ddlooping]

Just out of curiosity tompika, have you tried the same DVD with IC7 or 8?

[Gurm]

IC8 has gotten my stamp of approval. It's still TOO DARN SLOW, considering that I told it not to compress the video AT ALL and it STILL took a half an hour to rebuild the IFOs.

But it did what I wanted. I've been futzing with this image file of Cowboy Bebop The Movie for a couple weeks, trying to get the movie, the (kinda big - around 500MB) menus, and NOTHING ELSE onto one disc. CloneDVD was working, but it was compressing the menus and I couldn't control it.

IC8 did what I wanted. Much as I hate to encourage Pinnacle in their creation of bloated icky software, they seem to have gotten SOMETHING right this time around.

That sounds good regarding title removal. I tried it also but since I haven't got my fussy Sony I cannot really test the DVD structure validity

as for time I never really noticed, but did that time include the DVD analysis?. If you only select one title I'm sure IC isn't clever enough to realise that and still analyses the whole disc. Did you remove audio from anything you kept?

What's the version number of yours Gurm?

[digitalmaster]

There's already an illegal copy of it floating about the NET, so it's kinda old news now.

So we can't discuss it then?, because it is old news to the criminals of the net??

[Nuage]

Does IC8 include batch program like IC7?

[MackemX]

There's already an illegal copy of it floating about the NET, so it's kinda old news now.

it's even older news to beta testers

but I just thought I'd let the guys here know, other than P2P users in the know, that it's officially been announced

[A4]

sorry guys but i need the answer.
Is it SAFE to remove unwanted title with version 8? or we have to use ifoedit prior to IC.

thanks

All depends on what you do , but at least the title removal is now a supported feature so even if it doesn't work with all DVD's, I would hope Pinnacle come up with a patch anyway

I ain't got my fussy Sony anymore to test my DVD's so I cannot say yes or no to the title removal just yet , until I find another fussy player. I still have a few problem DVD's from IC7 to test with IC8 but so far everything is OK

[wizzy]

i'll stick to dvd2dvdr with CCE, giving me awesome results...
the only thing i am asking is a feature where i can edit the menu
adding buttons removing buttons, addingpictures, sound, etc.
that will be nice

Has the sizing issue with wide screen movies been fixed in this version?

[DVDEmperor]

I have tried one movie with IC 8.0 and so far it's fine. I have a Sony 715 player (the newer one) and it hates IC 7.* versions and either has glitches playing on the disc or sound pops. I have not noticed this problem with IC 8.0 so far but I will do more tests later.

My Apex 1200 plays IC 7.* versions fine with no problems at all (except for occasional sound popping).

So far I have to say that IC 8.0 is what IC 7.0 should have been... I have always liked the quality of IC but DVDShrink has been great without any problems at all.

I will keep posting if I find any problems with IC 8.0 but it will take a lot of tests to rebuild my confidence in this product.

[DVDEmperor]

Ok, tried making a backup of "Avenging Angelo" with IC 8.0...

Everything went well until the end, IC 8.0 made the file size too big for the blank disc. I had requested the file size to be at 4.30gb


Once again, IC has disappointed me, I had thought this bug would have been fixed by now so 2 hours of reencoding were wasted.

Back to DVDShrink 3.0!

This is a very rough, automated translation from the German press release announcing the availability of IC8:

For owners of the previous versions it will give a Upgradeprogramm.

:Für Besitzer der Vorgängerversionen wird es ein Upgradeprogramm geben.

They seem to be saying owners of IC7 will be given (free?), an upgrade to IC8. Maybe one of our german speaking members could help clarify this.
