Good guide, I prefer DVD Shrink, though.

Heh, you newb.

DVD Shrink is better, free, has no warning screens and uses better compression.

x copy is so easy tho....

i know how to do other ways....but, well, xcopy makes more then acceptable results, and requries me to hit like...2 buttons

So do I get a cookie?

pr0digal jenius · Nov 6, 2004, 01:08 PM

cookie!

and yes..i am lazy. I use the quickest easiest way possible so long as it produces acceptable results(DVD-X-Copy is barely acceptable on dual layer discs, but it's alright i suppose) But yes..do write an advanced guide, as I'd be interested in learning some new apps

MythicaL · Nov 13, 2004, 02:20 AM

Good job ^_^

I'll take this into consideration when I get a DVD burner.

Wow I'm surprised it even works with DL's!

You guys should also try AnyDVD as it allows you to tweak a number of things.

Quote:

AnyDVD is a driver, which descrambles DVD-Movies automatically in the background. This DVD appears unprotected and region code free for all applications and the Windows operating system as well. With AnyDVD's help copy tools like CloneDVD, Pinnacle Instant Copy, InterVideo DVD-Copy, etc. are able to copy CSS protected Movies. With the help of AnyDVD you can watch movies with non matching region codes with every DVD Player Software you like!

AnyDVD decrypts not just DVDs: AnyDVD allows you also to play, copy and rip protected Audio CDs!

But AnyDVD does much more, of course. For example, it is possible to control the rotational speed of your DVD drive, so you can watch DVDs on your PC with far less noise!

AnyDVD is the perfect Add-On for your HTPC (Home Theater PC). It can prevent the automatic launch of software from your Video DVDs (e.g., PC-Friendly) and you can start user defined programs on disc insertion and removal.
AnyDVD can adjust your monitor's vertical refresh rate (e.g. 72 Hz with NTSC and 75 Hz with PAL) automatically if you wish!

AnyDVD can remove unwanted user prohibitions, e.g. it removes forced subtitles or it lets you skip copyright messages and FBI Warnings.

Features:

Works as a driver automatically in the background
Removes encryption (CSS) and region code (RPC) from DVDs
Removes analogue copy protection (Macrovision)
Removes prohibited user operations like forced subtitles and other limitations
Decrypts WITHOUT having to save the data onto the hard disk
Decrypts "on the fly"
Prevents launch of software from your Video DVDs (e.g., PC-Friendly)
Allows setting of your vertical refresh rate depending on the video material
Allows execution of programs on disc insertion and removal
Allows speed control of your DVD drives
Works with all DVDs

IFOedit is nice, and all but you can only strip so much out of a DVD. I just go by the 2 HOUR rule (1.5 or less for audio/subtitles) for SL's, and anything longer requires DL.
