Looks pretty straightforward --- $45 seems reasonable. I wonder if it uses its own methods, or whether it cobbles together a bunch of freeware and shareware programs...

Hope to hear more!

when someone has tested it please let me know if its worth the money. i'm happy with dvd2one but if this proggie is better then i'm getting it. its available for online purchase so it can be yours now!!!!

Best way to find out of a program is worth your while is to try it on your own PC.

We still don't have the ideal app. This improves on DVD2One (quality issue aside) because it lets you keep menus and extras if you want. It looks like its better than Instantcopy 7 because you can include only some of the extras. The Instantcopy 7 feature it doesn't seem to have, though, is the ability to reduce the quality on the extras to maximize the quality on the main feature.

We seem to be creeping in on the ideal app. . . .

in the process of trying the demo with BLADE. however the demo doesn't appear to let you process the main movie file so its going to be hard to judge wether it is worthwhile. also i ain't interesed in the whole dvd only the main movie, and i ideally want a prog. that has as near cce quality without the wait.

Ok...

I tested this little program... I have a DVD that has lots of extras... so it was the perfect test for the demo.

Results: Let's just say it's the same quality as using DVD2ONE with a 20gig movie... That's the quality of this program...

I have a small TV -- 27 inch S-Video Input so the picture is very clear. Well... From the first frame, it was very blocky... Blocks everywhere... The image was like it was being hit by a strong bass (music bass) it was like fading in and out -- Blocks everywhere...

One good thing about it... It did keep menus and links and sync was perfect just like the DVD itself. It's just the quality of the video that this program can't seem to do right/good.

I guess it's just someone else trying to make money...

I wouldn't buy this product if I were you.

P.S. If they were to change their encoding engine to CCE -- Then this program would be awesome...

Downloaded the demo. Since it limits you to encodeing only the extras I selected SWII since it has 780MB's of extras in it's 7.67GB'S. It compressed the 780MB down to 252MB and took about 13 minutes to do the compression. Played with lots of macroblocking. I would avoid this program,if you bought DVD2ONE wait for the author to update it for full conversion with extras. This one seems like a waste.

InstantCopy 7 does let you resize menus,titles, and extras. You need to enable the registry setting DVDMagic.

However, there's a reason InstantCopy doesn't enable removing VTSs right now - it doesn't do it properly - it just removes the whole VTS file, and leaves the IFO.

That basically creates an illegal DVD - no burning apps will touch it (Nero, RecordNowMax both complain - Nero will let you try to burn it anyway, RecordNow will not).

Right now, to disable VTSs, you probably need to edit the original image with IFOEdit first so that the result is legal.

Re: Instantcopy

Well, I would rather keep the number of apps I'm using to a minimum, plus I hear that if you strip stuff with the registry hack, your menu links may get screwed up. Call me lazy....

[Armyb77]

Could we use the demo to just reduce the size of the menus, and then use dvd2one to resize the movie, and merge the two? total time would then be reduce to about what 30 to 45 mins? Anyone try this Idea? If not I might try it this weekend to see results. If anyone thinks this won't even work let me know.

Thanks
