Here are some comparissons that you can work with?
(keep in mind that this is only what I work with and may not be true for everyone)


>>>
If you are concerned with:
1) having (exactly) the same quality as your original DVD
2) keeping all menus and extras with the main feature
3) creating a backup of an episodic (tv programs per season)
4) having a ?one-stop? software to back up your dvd that includes reading and burning

and if you don?t mind:
1) having an 11-second ?Warning, this is a backup? screen before your movie
2) fitting a single dvd?s main feature into two disks
3) not being able to make a backup of your copy (as opposed to making a back up of your original)

then I would recommend:
DVDxCopy


>>>
If you are concerned with:
1) backing up only the main movie (forgoing its menus and extras)
2) fitting the main feature in only one disc
3) having a fast transcoding program (arguably the fastest)
4) having a ?one-stop? software to back up your main movie that includes reading and burning

and if you don?t mind:
1) a transcoded backup (some quality loss)
2) having an 11-second ?Warning, this is a backup? screen before your movie
3) not being able to make a backup of your copy (as opposed to making a back up of your original)
4) not being able to make a backup of your episodics (tv programs per season)
5) not having menus

then I would recommend:
DVDxCopy Express


>>>
If you are concerned with:
1) being able to choose whether to back up the main movie only or backing up the whole disc
2) fitting either the main feature or the whold dvd in only one disk
3) having a fast transcoding program
4) creating a backup of an episodic (tv programs per season)
5) being able to make a backup of your copy (as opposed to making a back up of your original)

and if you don?t mind:
1) a transcoded backup (some quality loss)
2) needing to rip the movie with another software (DVD Decrypter, Smartripper, etc)
3) needing to burn with another software (Nero, RecordNow Max, etc)
4) needing to backup your movie using the full-disc method in order to have menus

then I would recommend:
DVD2One


>>>

4) being able to make a backup of your copy (as opposed to making a back up of your original)
5) being able to rip and transcode with only one program
6) keeping the menus with the main feature (extra features are either working or blacked out)
7) using a program that you can get absolutely free

and if you don?t? mind:
1) a transcoded backup (some quality loss)
2) needing to burn with another software (Nero, RecordNow Max, etc)
3) a slower transcoding program (a little slower than the above three)

then I would recommend:
DVD Shrink

6) having a farely fast transcoding program (arguably slower than DVD2One but faster than DVD Shrink)
7) keeping the menus with the main feature (extra features are either working or blacked out)

2) needing to rip the movie with another software (DVD Decrypter, Smartripper, etc)

then I would recommend:
CloneDVD


>>>
I hope this list helps those who ask the question as to which dvd compressor is best to realize that the best program really depends on what they need and what they don?t mind living with.

I would also appreciate some feedback/comments on this list.

Rob, less of the attitude here mate. Dela was trying to point out that you shouldnt mention anything about cracks and copyright fraud, etc... This is for your own good, but it is also for the good of the forum. If you cant see that, then please dont post here. Its the wrong attitude to take with people who are supplying a FREE on line help service.

Oh no, he's still here. Rob, please go annoy another forum, to be honest, your not wanted round here. Most people would agree with that. You ar enegative and only ever make stupid nasty comments, all people have to do is look at your previous ones.

Bye bye now, hope i wont be hearing from you again!

A suprisingly relaxed attitude from old Homer J. Maybe he been spending too much time with Herbsman lol. Keep up the good work anyway ;-)
