Hi all, new to the forum here...
I'm still using DVDXCopy along with AnyDVD to make back-ups. Is there a better program than XCopy that I should try instead. I have had good luck using DVDXCopy and it's nice that it automatically reads, compresses, and then writes. I know I can use AnyDVD to rip, then a combination of programs to compress and write but XCopy does it all for me. So is there anything similar to DVDXCopy out there that might not be as dated?
since you already have anydvd getting clonedvd 2 to go along with it would be a great choice or dvdfab platinum both easy to use like DVD X Copy, heres some links and guides
I've used DVDXCopy in my opinion it's not as rock-solid as Clone DVD or Nero Recode 2. For me it couldn't reencode some films and others it had to heavily compress even though with Nero Recode I only had to compress them slightly.
Clone DVD is about on par with Nero Recode, except with Recode you can manually set the compression ratio and it gives you more control over choosing which tracks, subtitles and extras you want to keep/disable, etc...
I use Nero Recode 2+AnyDVD, best combination around. There hasn't been a movie I couldn't backup, and most look just as good as the source; minus the extras of course.
