rosko26, encoder is not a burner, but rather a piece of the burning software itself. For speed sake and quality combined...CloneDvd 2 and Intervideo Copy3, Shrink is a free option, while not great speed but superb quality is DvdRebuilder. The encoders that come with the installer package are some of the very best (in regards to that they are free!). Dvd Decrypter can also be used to burn, it can create an ISO image and then burn that image. There are a lot of options, but if you want speed and quality...Intervideo Copy 3 from www.intervideo.com and CloneDVD2...download from www.slysoft.com, you will need to have ANYDVD in the background...cost$ but well worth it. ANy questions just ask there are a lot of AD freinds to help you. MovieDud
