Which one should I use... Quality vs Speed

[coorrel]

Ok... I have relised that there are many encoder with different functions so cant exactly say which one is the best, but do suggest one from the following list that I narrowed down to and for normal DVD9-5 backups of all my DVD.

InterVideo DVD Copy
Dvdshrink - TRIED +FLEXIBLE OPTIONS,
Dvd2one - TRIED +VERY FAST ENCODING -INFLEXIBLE OPTIONS
Dvdremake pro
DVDSanta

I like to have a balance between quality and speed... MatrixRev takes 20min on DVD2ONE, 35min on dvdshrink, fulldisk. Anything more than 1hr is just too slow, which one would you pick for general purpose backup of all your own movies... or atleast narrow my list down to 2 or 3 that I will constantly using.
cheers

To be precise, DvdReMake Pro is not encoder/transcoder but rather DVD editor that you can use to change contents of the disks and/or remove things you don't like. What you get as its output can be further encoded/transcoded with any of the tools you've listed.

DVDShrink. Free, and as good as or better than the rest. Avoid: DVDSanta, judging by the # of questions and issues raised here re its functionality.

Testing (impromptu) of DVDSanta, vs other encoders (just for encoding), and I aborted the process after 10 minutes, realizing it was going to take roughly twice as long as tmpgenc, and 3 times longer than Mainconcept (both on single pass VBR).
My vote goes to dvdshrink and dvdremake.

i will put my two cents in...
if you are going to choose between dvd2one and dvdshrink i would have to pick dvd2one. i know people dont believe in doing still comparisons but i have come to my conclusion that way. i have compressed a dvd in all the setting in dvdshrink and dvd2one and dvdshrink on it best setting (deep analysis or something like that) was not as good as dvd2ones variable setting. now you have to take into account that these are stills and you probably wouldnt even notice them in motion. im a little bit more picky about quality than most so if a prog produce a few less blocks than another that is going to be a selling point for me. personally im thinking about the future and once we all go to hdtvs or plasma you are going to more readily see the macroblocks produces by these two programs. that why i am going with the better quality of the slower compression. i generally stick with ic8 which takes about 3 hrs. you do see the difference. especially in the larger movies where your compressing the dvd to 60% of its true quality. ic8 would be even better if its calculator (whatever you call it) ever got fixed. i just backed up code 46 and it compressed the dvd to 3gb. it wasted 1.3gb of space. i guess i put in alittle more thatn two cents. im always pushing ic8 for some reason. for you i would stick with dvd2one for quality and speed. thats only if you know how to use ifoedit, dvdremake, pgcedit or vobblanker. if you want a one-stop-shop then go with dvdshrink and i think that is the biggest reason why people pick that one

ok I will probably use both dvd2one and dvdshrink for different circumstances...
But really unless you have a huge TV 90cm+, I don't think anyone can notice any differences in quality between dvdshrink and dvd2one... I have a 64cm TV and my couch is 2m infront, the original and the backup looks the same to me...
