4.38gb?

what software would someone use if it is more than 4.38gbs or would i just use shrink to make it smaller.

 

I would use Shrink but u can use a dual layer disc also just deppends on what ur puttin on it.

 

Most DVD's are more than 4.38GB in size (the true size of a disc NOT 4.7GB).

Any proggy that can compress a Video file will do the job. DVD Shrink, CloneDVD2 and Nero's Recode2 are three top-level programs to choose from. Of course DVD Shrink is FREE and when using its quality settings is superior than most programs sold today.

If you check the guides in my sig, you'll find some good guides for DVDD Shrink and Recode2. They are easy to use and the setup is a snap as long as you will follow the directions.

The compression I refer to is so good; you won't be able to distinguish the difference between the backup and the original with the naked eye.

Check it out,

Cheers,

Pete

 

thanks guys.

 

@scuba pete ..which do you like better dvd shrink or nero recode?

 

i prefer neither

clonedvd2/anydvd combo is "probably"(i like to cover myself) the best overall

for speed/quality/ease of use,its tops

 

clone dvd didnt work for me at all ...a complete waste of money

 

what do you mean it didnt work?,you did get clonedvd[bold]2[/bold] right?

 

No i bought clonedvd & i tried it and it never worked then furthermore the company i bought it from gave me the run around when i asked for a refund...then i tried dvd cloner & it didnt work either...go figure

 

@movies

did you purchase clonedvd2 by slysoft/elby? because i know there was an inferior product being offered that was simply clonedvd...many people have had problems with that one...as well as dvd cloner II~ i bought dvd cloner 2 when it first came out when i didn't know anything about software programs, it worked well for awhile, but the software available NOW is much better. we all learn the hard way sometimes...i really like clonedvd2 by slysoft, it works well with anydvd also by the same company...

 

clonedvd2 is a great product,a 2 year old chimpanzee could use it.
clonedvd2/anydvd is a perfect 1&2 punch for your backing up needs.

When it didnt work for you movies27,you were still probably using that memorex junk.

There are better programs for movies, when large amounts of compression are needed, but for the most part,clonedvd2/anydvd is my main choice.

 

That is why I bought it, (munchs on bananna)

 

Maybe i got took i can post the place i got it from so others wont make the same mistake i made but i now prefer dvd shrink & nero ...and maxell -r for my backups....flawless .

 

Speaking as a 2 year old chimpanzee, I have to agree that CloneDVD2 is quite easy BUT for me, I like everything that Nero's Recode2 can do for me if we aren't speaking of cost.

I "discovered" Recode2 and use it more than I do any other proggy.

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for DvD Shrink But since Recode allows me to keep my menus as well it is my choice, hands down.

Sorry about the delay in answering but the last 6 weeks has been like hell at the ole' ScubaPete hacienda.

 

Is there any where I can get hold of a trial version of clonedvd2 as I would like to give it a try.

 

@gwendolin

You can get the trial version of AnyDVD and CloneDVD at http://www.slysoft.com

 

Thanks for prompt reply, I will definately give it a go next chance I get.

 

You are welcome, hope you like the program

 

I'm with ya arniebear, I prefer of course for the big time compression Rebuilder Pro/CCE, but I use Intervideo Copy 3 and CloneDvd2 w/anydvd in background. Works great, no problems. I haven't had as many problems with Copy 3 as many here have, even when I use Movie Only. I like Recode 2 more than Shrink, but for a free program Shrink (w/ quality enhancements) works great.
