Alright, I am currently using DVDShrink, DVD Decryptor, and Nero to backup my DVDs.

But, since DVDShrink is not being updated anymore I was wondering what the best softwares were to use?

I do not care if the softwares are free or cost a litte, I just want to have the best ones that will copy all my "Newer" DVDs with the Best Quality.

Right now I am leaning towards CloneDVD 2 and AnyDVD.

Would this be the best choices, if not then what would be.

Thanks.

i don't think you can go wrong with AnyDVD and CloneDVD. simple and updated regularly.

the freeware routes would be 1. dvdfabdecrypter -> vobblanker -> shrink or 2. ripit4me.

they all work on current release encryptions and are updated as needed.

DVDFab Decrypter (Express): http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm
VobBlanker: http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=580
DVD Shrink (and guide): http://www.mrbass.org/dvdshrink/
Imgburn http://www.imgburn.com/

If I get CloneDVD and AnyDVD am I going to need any other programs?

What about Nero Recode 2, is it better than Clone?


Thanks for the input.

answer#1- no.
answer#2-yes.

Nero Recode2 or Shrink using deep analysis and AEC/ fabdecrypter or anydvd running in the background/ IMGBurn to burn/main movie only mode= perfect.

For transcoders if you want the best picture then buy AnyDVD and use recode, best settings are advanced analysis, assign best quality to main movie, and high quality (slow recording).

For movies that need alot of compression you can go into the registry and and set it to max smooth for the best possible picture, but it will take longer to transcode.

Well, from what everyone has told me I believe AnyDVD and Recode 2 are the best, so I'm probably going with these two.

Thanks for the help.

I don't know about as far as what's the best Quality transcoder out there but, there's InterVideo DVDCopy4, CloneDVD2, DVDFab Platinum, hell even the famous 321 Studios DVDXCopy all great transcoders along with Shrink and Recode2. I can just take my pick which one I want (although I stopped using DVDXcopy!~). But as far as encoder.... hands down DVDRebuilder Pro w/CCE or ProCoder2! Best ripper..... DVDDecrypter. Best Windows based driver = AnyDVD hands down! Best disks.... Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim.....tied! I use them all for different situations when the need arises and I have great success due to learning everything here..... Afterdawn..... everyone taught me sooooooo much....... and you guys know who you are!!!!! Thanks...... and I'm so happy that I found this place! A place to learn and a place to give back!

Yea, I'll probably go with DVD Rebuilder since I've looked over everything, but I have a question.

How much is the CCE Software that I need?

Thanks.
