I just don't understand why people buy CloneDvd2. AnyDvd ,Dvd Shrink and ImgBurn work great and they are Free well except for AnyDvd. I'll admit CloneDvd2 does make things simple and the sheep are cute but that's it.
Well one thing I like about Clone - since I usually do a full backup - I can do movie only keeping the menus very easyw/ just one click on the keep menus option. I can also blank out/remove what special features I don't want with one click also. No need to change to a still image like in Shrink to save on compression. Just my reasons though I do use Recode and Shrink too - just depends on how much if any I'm cutting out.
i don't do many entire disc backups, but when i do, i use clonedvd2 to ripp and reathor without compression the i use shrink or recode2 to compress.
Well...I use ripit4me with dvd decrypter to back up to my Hard drive..then...I follow up with fix vts...Then burn to the disc with anydvd in the background Clonedvd 2 to do the Burnin plus ...I like watching the transcodin not the sheep!!! LOL
Hey bigwill68 To cut the time down - just use AnyDVD and CloneDVD. You can uncheck the special features you don't want (I usually just keep the deleted scenes) and remove the foreign audios - for some discs this keeps the compression low.
I totally agree with Binkie7, In fact, may I add this: The "Free" programs work OK. But for quality, speed & reliablilty, CloneDVD 2 is pretty hard to beat. Especially when used with AnyDVD. Those 2 together have been unstoppable for me in a long time. And, the end result is always crystal clear and High Quality viewing. In conclusion, I say that if one can afford to buy a couple of DVDs, you can certainly afford to buy CloneDVD 2 & AnyDVD. The "package price" is very inexpensive considering the Lifetime Updates and Quality Software you get. [bold] Happy Thanksgiving Binkie7 and ALL Afterdawn Members![/bold]
Happy Thanksgiving to you too bunnyrip and of course the rest of aD! It all comes down to user preference. Use what you works for you. If you happy w/ it and the results great - that's all that matters in the end.
CloneDVD2 also allows you to back up and or compress larger than normal movie files (By itself, no combining software) that other software free or otherwise would not handle without deleting portions of your disc or file content. With CloneDVD2 you also have the unique option to retain menu access and or capability in "Movie Only" mode. Simply check off "Preserve Menus".
No great rocket science here, CLONE DVD2 and Any DVD are simply the easiest to use. That is why I like them. Ravmem
AnyDVD + CloneDVD2........ not only is it a member crowd pleaser around here but it's well worth the money and makes life easier! with lifetime updates..... man it doesn't get any better than this! I have many programs, free and not free, and these programs are well worth it.
@binkie7 I understand what your sayin Binkie...I just waistin time...I guess LOL...I done trust burnin disc to disc...I had problems with that b4 waistin disc...
Your post indicates you are using AnyDVD. Unless its the trial you are using, ask yourself why you purchased AnyDVD and extrapolate from that point in your reasoning. Same applies to CloneDVD. If you still can not seem to find a good reason to purchase CloneDVD, then why are you using AnyDVd when there ARE free alternatives to that program as well.
hands down........Any DVD/Clonedvd2 best programs out there... from www.slysoft.com only....................... don't know how it could get any easier than that...... about the quickest way i know of.....
When you have a software thats as good as Any DVD and Clone DVD2 and updated as often as they are then you should support the the guys that produce it Viva SlySoft. I been useing it for 5 years now and its hands down the best dvd SW around.
