I tried the dvd2oneX demo, prior to buying it. I was trying to burn a backup of the Wilco dvd I am trying to break your heart (16x9 anamorphic). First, I used dvdbackup, which worked fine with the Apple DVD player on my new 17" PowerBook. Then, I used the demo version of dvd2oneX to compress the file. The demo version only allows the movie only format and only compresses the first 30 min. Again, the compressed VIDEO_TS file played fine on my Apple DVD player. Then, I burnt a dvd-r (Verbatim 2x dvd-r) using toast 5.2.1. All of this worked fine. So, I take the burnt dvd and put it in my Toshiba SD1600 connected to Sony 4:3 t.v.. It recognizes the movie and starts to play it immediately ... the only problem is it is in full screen rather than widescreen. Doesn't seem to be any way to covert to widescreen. Is this a problem with the demo version limited functionality, or is it a bug in the software, or a problem with my toshiba dvd player?
Ignore the above post. After I tried the original dvd, I noticed it also played back in 4:3 on my t.v. Then I went back to the burned version, and this time I was able to switch the toshiba dvd player to Letterbox format. So, satisfied I went and bought the full version. Just burned a backup copy of a 7.8GB movie onto a single disc on my new 17" PowerBook using DVD Backup, DVD2oneX, and then Toast. No problem. Great product.
