I think the best test would be this.... copy a movie lets say your freind, mom, dad, or someone has seen the orginal dvd of then make a backup and go u wanna watch this movie again put your backup and see if they say anything, i know how it is when u try to look real hard u will find somethign that may seem diffrent...

I guess what you mean is this:
If you know it's a copy and there is a slight quality loss you will see it.
If you don't know it's a copy you will not notice a difference...from the original.

If you put in the original and tell someone it's a copy they will see a slight loss. As for the pixeliztion on the Sony WEGA, some of it is due to the fact that it uses a CRT and that the larger the screen the more pixeled it will become. CRT's are limmited by design and size which means that in order to affect a larger screen size the actual pixels must be larger. This isn't to say that you aren't getting a better picture with the original or that the CRT is the complete cause but it is certainly a part.

i have had mixed results using nero but dvd2one is spot on - my toshiba dvd player tells you the bitrate on a dvd and there is obviously a difference on longer films that have had the dvd2one treatment but to the naked eye?? as far as i can tell most films are fine, pal or ntsc, region 1,2 or wherever there from!!! I connect with component video cables and get fantastic picture quality anyway, as to whether this makes a noticable difference on dvd2one stuff is anyones guess but i think everyting looks ok!!!

If you've had mixed results with Nero, then try CopyToDvd. As a combo they can't be beat. When you install CopyToDvd, it adds a check to DVD2one that sets up recording of the DVD immediately after the compression is completed. Just check that and when your DVD is ready to burn it sends a box for recording. Now all you have to do is insert media and click ok. It doesn't get easier than that. You can download a full working copy of CopyToDVD to try it out.

I Find movies upto 150 mins are fine but after 150 mins the movies start to get darker. As an example i tried Apocalypse Now Redux (202 mins & 7.9GB)the daytime scenes are very dark and the nightime scenes are unwatchable but still a great program at a low price.

Did the same movie and the quality is still great.
Saw some pieces of it, but I will watch it and see if that's the case (darkness).
From the pieces I saw I had no such problem but I'll get back on this one...

i used the dvd20ne - copy to dvd combination on the time machine (canadian around 7gb) compressed it to just a fraction too big so it refused to write the dvd-r. Is it possible to overburn??
Incidently nero also refused to write the disc as well.

Strange ! Using DVD2One allways gives me an outcome of 4.36gb and that will fit on a DVD+r.
I suggest you try again.

DVD burners can't burn anything larger than 4.37 gigs. You can set the values on DVD2one, I recommend setting values at about 4.37 to 4.36 gigs, this should elliminate any oversized results. Take note that when you are given the option of deselecting subtitles and sound tracks choose only a single sound track such as 6ch ac3. I've on occassion depending on the size of the original also selected 2 ch stereo with the 6 ch choice. The fewer options selected the better your video will be. Also when using CopyToDVD there is a choice on DVD2one to select burn files with CopyToDVD, select it.

The choice of connectors depends on you TV. If your set accepts component connectors then they are the best. If not then it will probably accept svhs connectors and although not as good as component connectors it is still pretty good. Anything less than those and you might want to consider buying a new set.

Yes I did mean 4.37 gigs, and if you had read a little further you would have seen that I did in fact suggest 4.37 farther along in the response. We all make errors from time to time and if the error is such that it makes the response confusing then it needs correcting. But if the response is understandable then to point it out is nothing more than a deixis.

Overburning is not yet possible with DVD burners. The best thing to do if your file is too big is to go to the original folder where your ripped movie is, reset the values on DV2one to 4360 and recompress the movie a second time. That is if you've not already deleted the folder. It is always wise to check your copy before deleting the ripped movie.

I just want to say that all the movies I compressed and multiplexed with dvd2one have come out perfect to its original.
For example, I did The Godfather, and as you know, it is 175 give or take minutes. I could not tell the difference when I compared.
On the other hand, I will have to take a bit off the quality criticism when it comes down to episode DVD's like The Osbournes. As some know, the new dvd2one v1.1.1 will do full discs. I am so happy to get the episode ones done with easy, I dont care about the loss of resolution. It is a bit blocky, but all in all, a wonderful end result came about.

Axmiller, I agree with you...but in this case, to get box sets copied, you gotta sacrifice something. In general, all regular movies will be fine using dvd2one. To tell you the truth, even the box sets come out great.

If you are that picky you will have to use DVDxCopy to get the exact quality as the original DVD. Instead of 1 DVD you will get 2 DVD's.

I agree, with WizKid DVD2one is the best choice in most situations. Where DVDxcopy is good is where the original is 4.37 gigs or less, because it will make an exact one to one copy without going through ripping, compressing, and then burning using different applications. Where it sucks is that it includes the warning splash screens and all the other stupid hurdles faced by the viewer just to get to the movie proper. If one should want all that for whatever reason then use DVDxcopy.

I used dvdcopy to do iceage on one disc excluding features and 3 coasters later still no wiser.Only plays on pc and it is a mess of features and scraps of chapters.All other backups fine is this the sign of things to come or am i thick?I need help
Why do you use 4.36 when I do 4.7 bulkpac at 60pence a disc?Surely these would improve slight imperfections
I know what I like and I lke what I know

ive used bulkpac and the only thing they r good for is x-box games. In my opinion the only dvd-r's worth using are Ritek or re-branded Ritek such as Traxdata
