What Dvd Burning software do you use?

[jondrewfoo]

I currently use Clonedvd 2 with AnyDVD running in the background to create the iso image then use imgburn to burn the dvdrs. i also only stick to good quality media, (tys, verbs, and riteks) , just wondering what others use? oh yeah i also use a lite-on 18 dvd burner with lightscribe, and booktype my dvd+rs to dvd-rom as weell with imgburn. id like to know other setups.

I like to use DVDShrink to burn my DVDs, it uses Nero's engine so it is still required to install Nero first. Nero has a lot of features, but DVDShrink works great with it! For creating DVD images, I just use PowerISO. :icon_thum

yeah i used to use dvdshrink at one time, but i liked the fact that colnedvd 2 you could delete things from the movie without having to drop the menu. also, i ran into some sony dvds that you had to use anydvd and clonedvd 2 with, shrink wouldnt open them. i still use shrink on occasion though, not often though. and i use nero 7 lite a lot as well, mainly for burning my mp3s/flacs onto cds. i like lite because it is so much smaller and doesnt slow down my computer like the regular one does.

I also use clonedvd2 with anydvd. The results are good compared to iso's you get by the internet...
What percentage in regard to quality do you usualy go for? Do you prefer a quality of 90 to 100% and not having extra material like cut-out-scenes etc. (as I do normaly) or do you cope with a worse quality to enjoy a alternative ending???

I use 1Click DVD Copy Pro with DVD43 running in the background and PowerISO for burning/mounting images. The big reason why I came across 1 Click DVD Copy was it's ability to copy episodic DVD's. Not too many programs can do this to my knowledge. I also like that it's easy to use (really does only require 1 click to copy a dvd) and fast (can compress and burn a DVD9 onto a DVD5 in about 25-30 minutes, I remove DTS, the menus, subtitles and special features to get better quality) I have a 16x NEC burner and only use Verbatim media for both DVD±R and CD-R's. Hasn't served me wrong yet. :icon_thum

yeah i like clonedvd 2 because it can do episodic memories, i like how i can keep the menu and just put half the episodes on a dvd 5 with 100 percent quality... and yeah i def strip everything possible to get the quality high as possible. if its under 85-90 ill use dvd rebuilder with cce sp because it makes the dvd amazing quality for really long/ high bitrate dvds. the isos i download though are great quality though, it depends on where you download them from. private torrent sites are where its at for those...

If I'm ripping a dvd I'll use dvdshrink, but if I'm burning an ISO I go right into nero.

i use dvd cloner 4 clone dvd and dvd creator 9.3 thats it

[jatinkompelli]

I use nero but can someone pls tell me wht is episodic DVD's.

[jondrewfoo]

episodic dvds are dvds of tv show seasons, with a lot of episodes on them. you need a special program to do those and mantain a good qulaity when duplicating them, as they fill up the entire size of a dvd 9. i use clonedvd2 with anydvd, and put half of the episodes and the menus on one dvd, then the other half with the menus on the other. its amazing, when you click an episode thats not on the dvd, it auto loops back to the menu.

[jatinkompelli]

Then how about nero vision, can't it be used for episodic dvd

[jondrewfoo]

it can, however corect me if im wrong, you cant keep the menus and not keep all the episodes. which is a very useful feature. who wants to have pixelated episodes with all of them in the menu, or just half the episodes on one dvd with no menus to tell you the episode names or what disk it is... clonedvd2 does this, which is another reason to love it. its very possible to do with nero vision, but not with all those niceties. its either everything shrunk qulity big time, or no menu with some stuff.

I have used DVD Shrink with Nero whenever I wanted to make a DVD, but for most uses I find it easier (and cheaper) to just put the DVD on a hard drive and watch from there. DVD For Free/DVD 43 works great on most titles, you just explore the DVD, select all of the video files and drag and drop to a file you create on the hard drive. To make it easier to view the files on any tv/computer I picked up an external hard drive from Inoi called medrive. It has a media player built in and came with a remote, so you can use it like an external drive, add media, and play it back on any tv or monitor. It's really cool. I find that I don't have a need to have a hard copy of most media, but if I still want one I can just make one off of the external drive. I've saved quite a bit of time and money since doing it this way.

Currently using K3b (running under Xubuntu), but prior to my linux-move I ran DVDFab Plat. for all of my dvd copying needs, and Nero 6 because I hated Nero 7
