DVD2ONE Vs. Instant Copy 7 vs. DVD2DVDR

[defense]

I know there are seperate threads on all of these three backup programs, but I think there should be a thread comparing all three methods, thus, this thread. If someone has not tried DVD2DVDR, but has tried DVD2ONE and Instant Copy 7, please post your results. I have read all the threads in their entirety, and it seems as though DVD2ONE is still the fastest, but also, still the most unpredictable. Apparently, Instant Copy takes about as long as DVD2DVDR with CCE, but it allows you to keep the menus and subtitles, which basically means that if the quality was as good with Instant Copy 7, as it is with DVD2DVDR AND I could keep the menus and subtitles, WITHOUT any authoring, and it was consistent in quality, then I would switch to Instant Copy 7.

Please post your comparisions.

Thought I would post a comparison time. On a P4 2.66 GHZ machine I did a 134 minute movie start to finish (DVD Decrypter, DVD2DVD-R, Maestro, Gear Pro for burn) in 6.5 hours.

Based on results (by others) InstantCopy (DVD Decrypter, InstantCopy, Burn) would likely take 2.5 hours or so. At the risk of inflaming, I feel it is probably a majority view that quality stacks up in an order that parallels the encode time

robw's comparitive results are as follows:

............................Time.................. .Quality...........Product
DVD2One..............1.25 hr................C+................main feature only
InstantCopy...........2.5 hr.................B+................main or full
DVD2DVD-R..........6.5 hr...................A..................main feature only
Original.................n/a.......................A+................full


Interesting comparions. robw, would you mind also posting the movie and region, as well as whether it is NTSC or PAL.

Anyone else have comparions?

DVD2one used for speed
Speed : 10 can't beat it
Quality : 5-9 - depends on size of file basically
Price :8 - not bad
Ease of Use : 10 - can't really get any simpler
Features : 5 - no user settings as of yet but plans for future
Total = 38-42/50

DVD2DVDR used to keep quality
Speed : 5 if you use CCE
Quality : 8-9 - depends again on size
Price : 10 - free (1 if you include CCE)
Ease of Use : 6 - very hard to set up initially
Features : 7 - good but only one PGC limit
Total = 36-37/50 (minus 9 if you include CCE)

InstantCopy used for complete DVD9-DVD5 backup
Speed : 8 - nearer to DVD2DVDR speed than DVD2One
Quality : 6-9 - depends on selected files
Price : 8 - from initial prices
Ease of Use : 9 - takes some setting up, but easy to do
Features : 10 - basically u can do anything you want
Total = 41-44/50

DVDXCopy used for DVD9 to 2x DVD5
Speed : 7 - depends what you keep
Quality : 10 - same as original
Price : 6 - could be cheaper
Ease of Use : 9 - simple to use
Features : 8 - very good options for splitting
Total = 40/50

Basically it depends on what you want to do cos they are all winners in their own rights
