    I've been using AnyDVD and CloneDVD2 (both purchased) for my backup needs for some time now and so far I haven't been disappointed. However, I see many posts about how CloneDVD2's transcoding sucks in comparison to other progs. I also read about some other progs that I had never heard of before, such as VobBlanker and RIPIT4ME. Do I need to update my burning protocol? I hate to think that I'm cheating myself out of burning the best copy I possibly can, but at the same time AnyDVD and CloneDVD2, when used in conjunction, are just so damn easy. I guess what I'm asking is, is there anything as easy or easier that would produce a better backup? I don't really care if the software is free; I'll gladly pay for quality.

    I think RipIt4Me is great but you need other programs with it such as DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink and a program called FixVTS all of which are free.

    For producing better backups, NOTHING beats DVDRebuilder, which includes Hanks encoder. Better yet, add a commercial encoder, such as CCE or ProCoder2.

    Teflon said it best,
    DVD-RB
    Coupled with the CCE (Cinema craft encoder) as the encoder (2000$)(US)
    Its quality is unrivaled because its that class of software.
    Too rich for my blood but Creaky is rich so he has got it like that!
    Cheers!

    Like 9mmRuger1,
    I am perfectly satisfied with AnyDVD & CloneDVD 2 from Slysoft!
    This combo has yet to disappoint me & I've had them for well over a year! They stay updated and work "Flawlessly".

    This is what I use, all based on afterdawn input

    AnyDvd for decoding--excellent, extremely effective and easy to use
    Clone DVD for compression level at 80% or higher; also to make 1:1 copies onto two discs
    Nero Recode for compression level less than 80%
    DVD Decrypter to rip discs that are scratched or worn--it usually creates a file even if other programs fail; then Nero to compress/burn.
