    What is the differance between the settings in the quality fields on this software? I am using CloneDVD I was told to use custom and 4300. But i am getting alot of freezing on the movies. Should I try some of the other setting? I am using Taiyo Yuden DVD- media which I am told is good media. Any help on this would be great.Also my DVD firmware is up to date.

    CloneDVD doesn't really have quality settings like Shrink or Recode.
    There's a quality slide/bar next to where you set custom to let you know how much compression is being used.

    Do the discs skip in the pc or a standalone dvd player?

    What speed did you burn at? May need to take it down at notch or 2.

    You should just leave CloneDVD's settings on their defualts and let CloneDVD do the compression automatically without customising the compression.

    I just downloaded CloneDVD to help backup Zoom. I didn't notice that you could even touch their settings. How do you? minus unchecking the extras.

    CloneDVD doesn't have any quality settings like say Shrink or Recode.

    To improve quality w/ CloneDVD try and use less compression by you got it unchecking the unwanted extras and addt'l audios.

    Worth mentioning:
    Use of CloneCD and a Dual Layer disc will make a Perfect backup. CloneCD will even retain the original factory layer break.

    I was suprised by your answer which prompted me to do some research and you are absolutely correct! CloneDVD moves the layer break toward the end of the last chapter on the first layer. CloneCD retains the original layer break.

    I been saying that clonecd gets the layer break on the money..ever since they added dvd burning to clonecd.

    i did a ton of movies on dual layer disks with clonecd.

    I guess what I don't understand is that you buy CloneDVD to backup DVDs and while I guess it will back up a DL disc, you are better off with CloneCD to back up fully a DVD DL disc. I suppose that is because CloneDVD transcodes and CloneDVD copies...

    i wasted five verbatim dl discs with clonedvd. it's no good for me with dl dvd+r's. i use imgburn for DL and I don't get a pause or a skip at the layer break.

    maxxjulie, i use clonedvd2 all the time with DL media and no problems. try using Verbatim DVD+R DL booktyped to DVD-ROM burning no faster then 4x ,2.4 times is recommed. also make sure you have the latest firmware update for your drive/burner too
