Best program for animated movies?

[freedomsbeat]

So I have a few animated movies that I'd like to backup.. I noticed that most of them are very high bitrate and use around 6-7gigs just for the movie.. What's a good program to use for these movies? I used to use InstantCopy 7 for cartoons back in the days but has dvdshrink caught up yet? I really noticed even slight dithering/image issues on the cartoons I tend to backup sO I'd appreciate eny feedback..

Thanks!

(is instant copy8 worth the upgrade if I'll be doing a lot of anime/cartoons?)

Nero Recode2 with 2pass deep analysis and ability to "lock" compression ratios for menu/main/extras and/or "disable" anything you don't want gives the best flexibility, ease of use, top notch transcoder (doesn't re-encode like CCE which is technically better quality, but unless you get down below 55 or 60% with recode, you'll never miss CCE, and recodes speed is the fastest by far, even with 2pass you'll only need 90-120min inlcuding the burn at 2x or better speed if you have an average speed system like mine, which is a 1gig athlon, 256mb sdram,etc.

Just rip movie as iso file using dvd decryptor, mount the iso image with daemon tools, import the movie into recode2, make your quality adjustments, put in a blank dvd and go! you'll never use anything else...and i have tried them all. of course, newest shrink is awesome and very similar to recode with major flexibility, great quality and speed as well...and is free! either of those beats IC for sure and will handle animated stuff no problem with high quality output virtually undistinguishable from original if compression kept at 60%+. have fun! of course the two are so similar because dr. shrink i believe did both...i've heard that in the forums anyway.

I use DVD Shrink version 3.05 and up for anime DVDs all the time and it does a great job IMO, I can't tell much of a difference from the original DVDs when I watch on my TV.

Give it a shot using deep analysis mode, its free so its ot much of an investment.

I won't use it for DVDs with more than 6 episodes though, then I just split the DVD.
