    According to this site http://dvd-copy-software-review.toptenreviews.com/ (and other places too), DVD Cloner is the best ripper out there.

    For the record, I tried using dvdfab but was troubled by the speed and slightly smaller size of the rip...it was too fast! I assume that it compromised on the quality and moved on to DVD Cloner

    Anyway, when I tried to create a dvd it creates the movies in ISO format (as opposed to vob)...so I couldn't use imgburn to insert a layer break in a dual layer disk.

    So my question is this: anybody know if DVD CLONER automates the process when also burning to DL disks?

    thanks in advance

    why would spam come rolling in LOCOENG ?

    and thanks iluvendo, but as I already pointed out, I can't use imgburn to create a layer break with the DVD Cloner File because its in the wrong format (iso as opposed to vob).

    Which either makes Cloner useless - or imgburn redundant in this instance. Cloner has an internal burner or uses Nero (maybe), but the lack of info on layer breaks is kind of worrying.

    So I'm trying to determine whether Cloner is a needless risk or whether imgburn can be bypassed.

    Hi,

    you could always do the following


    Jo


    From 1bonehead


    1) decrypt to HDD with dvdfab HD (free version) Or use paid for version
    2) process files (all) with fixvts
    3) shrink files with dvd shrink, output as iso/image to HDD
    4) burn iso/image file with IMgburn

    all programs are free

    Imgburn, free from
    www.imgburn.com


    fixvts, free from
    http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_...ools/fixvts.cfm


    dvdfabHD free from

    dvd shrink 3.2.0.15

    Because the link in your first post is a spammers delight.

    Imgburn will give you the option of selecting the layer break you want ~ http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=4643

    Here's a link re DVD Cloner - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/92001 and i certainly wouldn't go near DVD Cloner. There's newer links/versions of Cloner than that but i believe the message within remains the same

    thanks for the responses guys.

    all said and done, which program does this board rate as the best ripper? and by best, I mean in terms of quality, assuming a two or more pass is possible?
