Backing up a dual layer dvd to 2 dvd-r's & keep menu's.

[Gandalf the Great]

Hi I have 'Saving Private Ryan' on DVD which I wish to back up. I tried backing up the entire disk using DVD Shrink but as it is a large film the quality loss from compression was to high for my liking.
QUESTION - Is it possible to back up a dual layer dvd onto 2 dvd-r's & still keep the menu's? Thanks alot for any replys.

I've looked under the guides but could not find anything that suits my needs.

Did you read about Rebuilder?

[MrShavez]

This is the only tool you´ll need:

DVDStripper

Just go to the tools section, you can grab it there and there are plenty of guides for it as well. Also concerning your particular problem....

Praise the authors for making it freeware

DVDRemake also works very well, but costs $30.

OTOH, better support, more development, no need for using IFO edit, and handles more complex DVD's.

Intervideo DVD can back up onto 1 DVD-R. looks great with the menus and all the extra's. I don't know how much is on SPR but I did Seabiscut and watched it on a 8' screen using an LCD proj. Quality was great. I love this program. Just put the DVD in and click go. 40 min later your done.

Try DVDFab. I did that with Sleuth and worked perfectly.

wings...

You watched it from an 8´-screen....no wonder it looked good. If i watched your mamma from an 8´-screen, she would look good too :P

Just joking, but this was about copying a dvd-9 to two dvd-r´s, not about the quality of transcoders.

Besides, Inter video dvd copy sucks sideways...

[wings]

Intervideo also lets you split the DVD-9 to 2 DVDR's if you want. And keep the menu's & extras. Great program and fast. Why use 2 0r 3 program's to back up a DVD?(Unless your making bootlegs?) This is all you need.

...or, why spend 50 bucks for something you can do for free :P

DVDStripper and DVDFab are free by the way, Inter video is not

[wings]

Who said I paid $50?

good one! and right, IDVDCOPY 2 Platinum sucks...well known that prog has big-time bugs. no update yet. or was the poster talking about the old 1.2 version?

[wings]

Don't have version 2. I don't think there is a working version of AnyDVD program for it yet. But I have yet to make a coaster backing up complete copies of DVD's using Intervideo DVD Platinum. I did a side by side compare on 2 15" screen laptops of the Rolling Stones concert DVD and people at work were amazed and how good it was. Only when you got up close and looked at the black area's could you guess witch was the copy. Not bad for an entire back up of a DVD-9. Oh in Dolby 5.1 Audio also.
