![]() This way I ensure that my DVD will play in any of my three DVD players. In other words if the blank DVD is rated at 8X, I burn it at 6X. One thing I always do when burning the DVD is to set the burn speed one click lower than the DVD's rated speed. I have friends and relatives who have gone the DVD Decryptor/DVD Shrink route and have ALL switched to Clone DVD 2. Copy a multi-episode(TV series) DVD onto 2 DVD AND retain the menu's on both DVD's.ĬlondDVD 2 is VERY fast! At least twice as fast as anything else I've tried! I have compared the results with DVD Shrink and I cannot see any difference on my 36 inch Toshiba TV. You can easily copy any DVD and get great quality. This is a very elegant piece of software. It works great but it is labor intensive. Then I tried DVD Decryptor/TMPGEnc DVD Author for TV series DVD's. Many publishers put ove 3 hours of material on each dvd. If you want to copy a TV series DVD you will get questionable quality due to the amouth of data to be coppied. For one, if want to split a long movie onto 2 DVD's using Re-author you lose the menu's. ![]() I used it for several months but found problems with it also. Then I discovered DVD Decryptor/DVD Shrink. I had varying degrees of success with it. About a year ago started out with DvdXcopy. I have used several different programs to backup DVD's. but its good for light compression and single layer disks and quickly scanning through a dvd for read error protection. You cant change the amount of compression on a film which it calculates automatically, u can just take out audio etc to make it less compressed.īottom line: very quick but of noticably lesser quality than shrink on deep analysis for films that need more than about 75% compression. using shrink with deep analysis is better. Its fast and qualities only passable on films where more than 75% compression is needed (eg you can see slight blockeyness if your close to the screen espically in areas of black), i wouldnt say im that fussy either. so it saves alot of time when looking for the newer sony arrcos unreadable sector protection. If you want to check a film for protection (read errors) itll scan through it quickly at the start of processing and will stop early but shrink only does this when its along way in to the analysis. ![]() The newer versions have the feature of letting you cut the film from either end although you cant take bits out from the middle. You can keep funtional menus after removing other bits you dont want - something that shrink cant do without losing menu function in the dvd. Very fast -rips AND compresses dual layer dvds in about 25 minutes in file mode (~1 hour in iso mode- takes time to write the iso) Overall The CloneDvd application is stable, it is easy to install and use,and gives you similar quality to Dvd shrink thus it is a good peice of software for copying Dvd's.Īfter a few months use this is my second choice for ripping dvds, the quality isnt as good as shrink, i dont know if this has improved on later versions but i did upgrade to the v 2.7.5.1 free trial and the processing time was the same so i doubt it. One minor problems stated by users on the net is that sometimes quality is inconsistent but I have personally used this for a while and have not experienced any difficulties. However it does require a longer time to rip compared with freeware such as Dvd shrink. It still holds it writing capabilities and speed has increased. However CloneDvd does not need to do this and can directly rip and compress files to a VIDEO_TS folder or an ISO file. Some rippers need to change your DVD drive's region code in order to process the DVD e.g. You can also customize what features the Dvd holds i.e whether it is a 1:1 copy or modifying it to remove extras such as sub's and languages to improve quality. ![]() By comparing this to previous versions CloneDvd now has ripping capabilities giving region free ISO/Dvd. ![]() Firstly I like to point out that I am using the latest version of CloneDvd which is v. ![]()
