X Copy / DVD Shrink

[Magua]

Alright, first off I am fairly new at DVD burning/backup so bear with me here. I recently purchased a Plextor 708A with a 100 pack of Arita 4x discs. I own Nero 6 Ultra, DVD X-Copy (Platinum, Xpress), and the most current version of DVD Shrink. So far I have been primarily using DVD X-Copy, the only real drawback I see is the DVD backup screen...which apparently can be removed, but seems like more work then its worth (until a simple app is made to do it) and I can live with the screen. How does X-Copy compare quality wise to DVD Shrink without deep analysis?..and how does it compare to DVD Shrink using deep analysis?
Also, how do you tell what speed you are burning at? When I use DVD Shrink it "starting burning at 8x, 11,XXXkb/s" or something along those lines, then repeats it when its finished. X-Copy dosent say anything.

Typically encoding takes between 40-60minutes, and burning between 10-20. However when I use deep analysis it encodes twice, which means making a backup with X copy takes approx. 1 hour, where DVD Shrink takes 2.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Also I was looking for a good guide for re-authoring with DVD Shrink. As far as I can tell in 'full disk' mode you can only add and drop sound tracks and subtitles, but can't take out any of the video. I have seen some good tutorials here for reauthoring just the movie, but I prefer to keep my menus. I tried (stupidly) to just bring over all the menus and the main title, but that resulted in a disk that just quickly cycled through all the menus. Ideally I would like my discs to start up like the originals, then if you pick an option thats not availible (new audio track, removed special feature, etc.) it wouldn't let you (ie. bring up the players symbol that you get if you try to jump to next chapter when viewing an FBI warning or something..) There are only a few movies I would like to keep the special features for.
