By far the best result of King Kong is an identical copy on a Verb DL +R book typed to DVD-ROM> SWEET.
You need a progarm that offers bieng able to split it on 2 disc's, still my favorite way of copying, never any loss of quality whatsoever, and to my suprise I copied kong using my old trusty dvdxcopy from 321, perfect copy.
@FredBun, I think two disc take away from your viewing experience i.e. Having to change disc? Takes me back to the days of VHS and watching a epic extra long film or mini series. Also the original disc allows me to just press play kick back and relax and in backing up a copy I like to ENJOY this same experience. Recording to two disc takes that away. I have single tray SONY DVD players which I find perform better that 5 & 6 disc DVD/CD changers. You also have to burn to extra disc. Two disc un-needingly. The compression with either SHRINK or NERO is fine unless the compression falls under 50%.
I'm sorry, but I have no problems getting off my hynie to change disc's if it means I get to watch perfect quality dubs, and beleive me most of the time I can see the differnce, I wish I didnt but I do, I also like to keep all the extras especially subtitles, both my kids are deaf so I dont have to emphasize the importance of that, and with 2 disc's I get to keep them all with no quality loss, so my reasons are kinda more of a necessity than prefernce.
On that Tuesday I clipped the end credits then used both Deep Analyis & AEC. Came out flawless writen on 8x MIJ Sony TYD.
@fargen If you haven't gotten a successful burn on DL Verb, Try this method, with anyDVD running use Shrink to create an ISO Image file and then have it burn automatically with DVD Decrypter the ISO Image file. Under edit>preferences change DVD5 to DVD9 in shrink and make sure remove layer break(in output files) is check so Decrypter can choose it's own.Uncheck enable burning with Nero (in FileI/O)Burn at 2.4X Johnl123 gets credit for this combo from whom I got it. It plays on a combo TV-DVD that wouldn't play a full Decrypter(ISO) back up or a NeroCopy back up, both DLs.
Bought KK from the States last week (single region 1 disk) backed up OK using just Shrink. Multi region now. Just managed to copy Memoirs of a Geisha with DVDfab and Shrink writing with Decrypter. Works fine on 32in Hitachi
Play around with shrink and you can get alot more onto a DVD. I got all 3 Back to the Futures as one long movie on one. Just use shrink and save to HDD and do it again and again until it will let you copy it to DVD. The quality is just as good as the DVDs they came from. tbg
garmun and mrchub, Used DVDdecrypter and wrote an ISO of King Kong; then used Imgburn to burn the ISO file onto a Verbatim DVD+R DL. Finally, Panasonic will play it! Thanks for the advice. Can anyone tell me why this method will work where Shrink with a video file would not? Play on Panasonic that is.
I just bought the 2 disc edition of Kong and did a full backup of the first disc on a DL verb no problem. I'm not sure if this is only for the canadian release (i'm in toronto), but the second disc appears to be the exact same thing as the first one except for the language track. It's the French dubbed version. Anyone in the states has the same thing?
