DVD X-Copy quit working

[richdvd]

Yes indeed it is a wonderful program. Let me respond to your post. 1.Who cares if you pay for it if its an awesome program. Much better quality than Dvd Shrink 2.

Please explain how you figure that DVD X Copy gives you better quality results compared to DVD Shrink.

[indolikaa]

I am not responding to you anymore because you are what we refer to in the it industry as an ID10T.

What industry are you referring to?

[jtoolman2000]

Ive burned the exact dvd with dvd x copy xpress and dvd shrink then compared the two, frame by frame, zooming in as much as possible and dvd x copy xpress is the better of the two. Did this to several movies and same result

Ooh boy, someone definitelly has too much time on their hands. Next thing, you'll start comparing pixels.

It is an excellent program

Heh

Yeah, I agree.... excellent program to use if you enjoy screwing up your PC with a single installation. It's more effective than even the most malicious virus.

dvdxcopy is maybe the worst program i've ever had, it sucks more than Linda Lovelace.

THAT'S saying something.

[northcat_8]

I hate DVD X copy also...although, apparently not with the same passion as gitreel does

Sucking more than Linda Lovelace? WOW...that's a lot of sucking

Wetmonkey, that made my day. Thank you, I needed a laugh

indolikaa, I was talking about the information technology industry.

I see...

[gitreel]

yes, i use that term quite a bit for people who think their computer is like a toaster. They think all they have to do to it is plug it in. I have had to redo my father-in laws computer twice, because he will not leave the antivirus program and firewall alone, and he thinks getting a virus is no big deal, especially on a cable connection.

[indolikaa]

Any certifications of note?

[gitreel]

I have the expertise, just not the certs. I am unemployed and cannot afford the tests. I am currently taking ccna 2 in the Cisco Networking Academy. I have been building,repairing and troubleshooting for about 5 years. I am attending Westwood College of Technology.

[gitreel]

I have installed and troubleshooted windows 95,98,me,2000,xp home and pro, server 2003 and Red Hat Linux 9 as well as Fedora Core 1. I build computers for people. I also help people with their computers when they need help.

[gitreel]

I have even mess around with damn small linux. It boots from a cd.

This is not specifically aimed at the DVDShrink / DVD X Copy flame war, but consider this statement:

No, and I repeat no, one-click program can/will ever give unequivocally better results than a program that can be customised. Tweaking will always yield better results than factory settings. Factory settings are the defaults which are guaranteed to work.

It is not rocket science.

[gitreel]

jimmalenko, I agree. Any program you can customize is always better.

[ViRaL1]

jimmalenko, I agree. Any program you can customize is always better.

That's a pretty broad generalization. I'd say that it's nice to HAVE the option to customize, but a lot of the people who use 1-click solutions like DVD X Copy don't have the need or the desire to customize. The KISS concept hasn't survived this long for no reason. Options are great if you have the time and the patience to explore them, as well as the need or desire to use them. Otherwise they're just an obstruction and an opportunity to screw something up.

..and it's highly irritating to regular folks

No one said that you couldn't get good results with the KISS concept, Point was customizing will give you better results

[ViRaL1]

For the most part, yes I agree with you, unless your idea of good results is simplicity. It's just funny to see how people will attack someone for taking the simple route when it works just fine for them.
