Hello, I formerly used Ripit4Me and ImgBurn for DVD's backups. Now that Riptit4Me site has been discontinued I am looking for new software for backing up my DVD's. Can I use Slysoft's AnyDVD and Imgburn to do the job or must I purchase AnyDVD & CloneDVD? Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I use AnyDVD with Shrink for most movies. Then burn with Imgburn. When there is a movie that combination won't handle, I rip to the HD using AnyDVD, then run through FixVTS. After that I use Shrink and Imgburn. Sometimes I still use RipIt4Me. AnyDVD will be the best dollars spent on any program. I've been using it for a long time now and love it. The other programs I use are mostly the free ones even though I also own DVDXCopy and Nero. There are some really good guides in the member submitted guide section that should be of great help to you in deciding what you want to use. By the way AnyDVD has a free 21 day trial period. That is a really good way to find out how much you will like it.
thanks for your response. I am going to try ANYDVD with 'Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest. Thanks again for your help.
I have another dumb question since I cannot locate any guides on how to use AnyDVD, once I run the program with puts the Pirates of the Caribbean - deadman chest files on my hardrive in a folder called " Video-TS. I now want to burn the DVD using ImgBurn. Can anyone tell how to do this? thanks in advance.
Take a look at this web site: http://webpages.charter.net/bacitup/Guides.htm It has very complete guides for using a number of DVD backup software including AnyDVD.
Thanks all for the info. I will checkout the guides and see whats what. Several people have told me that ANYDVD does not work with well with anyother program Except theres - CloneDVD. I can imagine why.
I don't know who told you that. I use AnyDVD all the time with a number of different programs. Don't even own Clone. It is the best program out. I've been using it for quite some time. It works really well with Shrink (except on Sony movies). The other program that I think is fantastic is FixVTS(a free program). It corrects all those blank cell and structure problems that Sony keeps putting on their disc.
I have not encountered any programs other than dvd43 and dvdfab that have conflicts with anydvd... but they do the same job, so you not need those others.
For a while there the AnyDVD/Shrink combo had a bit of a problem working together. Slysoft seems to have that sorted out with the last three or four updates. It's an excellent method (I use it a lot) but AnyDVD will always be most compatable with CloneDVD. They are designed to work together.
