DVDXCOPY

Here is a great program. I've been reading a few topics about DVD2ONE, havent tried it yet but DVDXCOPY works perfect. Ive made plenty of backups. 90 percent of the movies can fit onto one disc. Takes roughly 1 hour to make your dvd. 30 minutes to rip, another 20-30 to burn. There is no compression or decompression what-so-ever. it is a perfect dvd rip. No quality loss, its crystal clear. www.321studios.com its $100 which is more than dvd2one but i think its well worth the cost. check out the site, read the specs if you buy it, let me know how you like it.

Been using it since late November, really like it.

Only ran into a few issues (directors commentary on Back to the Future 2,3 and Patriot)

Other than that I really cannot complain. I would rather backup my dvd's on 2 dvd-r's and keep the extras that make dvd's great in the first place.


I wouldn't say 90% backup to one disc though, at least not from the movies I have done.

But all in all a very good program

DVDXCOPY,

Wastes media if I can remove a couple of audio tracks and fit on 1 DVD without loss of quality DVDXCOPY doesn't allow this. Most DVD's won't fit on 1 DVD-R. When I travel I don't need the hassle to switch DVD's at the middle of a movie.


Also I don't like writing instructions to use my DVD's.

For Example

If no Audio on 2nd disc use remote to change audio.
If the movie sticks on 321 logo push stop then menu then select movie.
Also they watermark all your DVD's.

I suppose i was a tad vague. What i meant when I said most movies can fit onto one disc, is that just the movie can with the special features omitted. When it comes to me, for most movies, I could care less about commentaries, or photo galleries or even deleted scenes in certain movies. I just want to watch the movie. Other cases, i do like to watch the deleted/extended scenes, so yeah in that case it takes 2 dvd discs.
But im not going to argue with perfect quality and audio.

One thing I did notice, (maybe i did it wrong) is when i "backed-up" Jay and silent bob strike back, i only did the movie and yet it needed tw discs and it wasnt 2 hours long. So i thought that was fishy and only made it one disc. well, it stopped halfway through the movie and told me to put in disc 2. My question is. when it played there was a multi-angle feature (which when pressed made the movie french or spanish) If anybody has tried backing up this movie, can you let me know if that multi angle is embedded into the main title, or if it is a whole seperate title. If its embedded then that sucks, if its on a new title, then i can go back and try to fix it.

Interesting to read everyones comments on dvdcopy I just accuired it but have not tried to use it so far. Can anyone tell me what the plus's are when comparing dvdcopy to dvd2one. It seems that we are waisting media using dvdcopy.For me the movie is usually the only thing of interest.
The peripheral stuff is not of much interest, and it's inclusion only reduces the space available for the main title. My aim is to create backups of multi movies on to dvd-r and to keep the highest quality possible neither ofthese programs seem to have the capability to work in this way . Any helpful suggestions?

DVDXCOPY - Original quality, most movies will require 2 DVD's even if the main movie is 100 meg over the size of 1 DVD.

DVD2one 1 DVD- Does only main movie- real fast you can exclude audio tracks and subs.

InstantCOPY - retains ur original dvd structure includine menus on 1 DVD.
You can exclude audio tracks and subs. There is a hack to exclude extra's, but I dont recommend it, it might mess up your dvd navigation
