Totally agree pete, recode is an excellent prog, and after ripping,(anydvd or decrypter for that) everything else can be done out of recode including burn. Recode has also been improved on the quality end too, and is very user friendly.
 GO VOLS ! |

Hey ScubaPete,
Just curious.. In your own opinion, Does Recode 2 produce better results than Dvdshrink? I haven't messed with Nero recode alot. What are the advantages? Thanks ScubaPete..
Matt

Actually, opinions are like - you know, everyone has one.
I believe that if you compare DVD Shrink's finished product (done with full quality settings) there's no comparision. DVD Shrink takes a whole lot longer but the quality is outstanding.
Why not play with some of DVD Shrink's "Goodies" and see how you like it :)

Cheers,

Hey flip, yes I have, looks real good, does a 2 pass now like shrink, and takes much longer with it checked like shrink, and since the same fella works on both of them(shrink, and recode that is) I gotta think quality is close. I haven't put them up on my bigscreen yet with a 50/50 split and zoomed in for a close comparison but I'll do that this weekend and let ya know what I found.
It doesn't have all the quality settings shrink does, easier to run, but we'll see. Nero has also corrected the bugs created from the last update, especially the sizing problem.
GO VOLS !

I have Roxio 6 and nero6 and I have used both to back-up a movie.The draw back of roxio is that it will only allow a data dvd from cd creator only allowing you to watch the movie from your computer using winDVD or powerDVD.Nero is the best program for burning unprotected video files.Roxio is a such a big program even though it is nice to use it's size is at least 600 megs from the cd where Nero is around 72.They are both good program but Nero is better for using with shrink.

Hi hijacker,
I'm glad you're having no difficulity.
However, the majority of cases have shown serious issues arising from having both Roxio and Nero operating on the same machine even when Roxio's "Drag and Drop" feature is removed.
It seems that Roxio doesn't play well with others.
There are some, like you who have no problem but for the rest, be careful -
cheers,
Pete

Firegreen,
Why was it necessary for me to write this answer to you twice ?
Do you feel that I'm such a loser, sitting and answering your questions that my time isn't worth anything so let's PM ScubaPete and ask my exact same question again ?
Ok, I'm supposed to be nice to pple like you who treat me like crap so here -
Quote:
Firegreen,
your forums told me to download DVD Shrink and dvd decryptor for better burning ... did this and now when I follow your steps I get to the " click backup " step and backup does not light up to open ... .
When you are using DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter, there's no "Green Light". The "Green Light" is on your DVD XCopy. Use either one Proggy or another - you cannot go through all the settings on 1 proggy then open another proggy and expect it to work off the first proggys stuff.
Back yo go to DVD Shrink and Decrypter. Follow the instructions for them.
OR,
Open your DVD XCopy and just do that proggy.
One OR the other,
( My choice would be Shrink & Decrypter -)
cheers,
Pete
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
End my PM post.
Maybe you're just too special to do it on forum like you're supposed too.
DO IT THERE FROM NOW ON - YOU'RE NOT THAT SPECIAL
Your current record -
A PM to ScubaPete

Pete is not rude what you did (double posting, pming, etc.) was against the rules and is one of the biggest things that pisses off the people around here who help.
I don't mind helping and neither does Pete, however, read through our rules and come back and let us/me know if you need anymore help.
Glad that you got your stuff going.

qpasha,
Don't forget to remove the backed up movie from your hard drive. If you don't you will soon have very little room for more movies. Enjoy and welcome aboard.

Firegreen,
Answering pple isn't a hassle but it sure isn't necessary to keep 6 pple busy answering your exact same question ? It seems as if you can't see that we help others to pass our free time. You're playing us off - one against the other, trying to help you when we could be helping others.
About the PM's, they are to be used for matters that cannot be answered on forum. If everyone did what you did to me there wouldn't be a forum would there ? We'd get home from work and we'd see 200 PM's in our boxes and, I'll speak for myself at least, - I'd not answer a single one of them.
I was answering your question on forum, why did you have to ask the same question in a PM to me ?
I do have a final question, When I told you to stop, could you tell me why you felt it was necessary to ask me yet ANOTHER QUESTION in a PM ?

Well I'm glad you're doing fine but don't do that any more.
Posting in 3 forums isn't going to make you any friends.
Happy burning -
