Which Single software works the majority of the time

[paputzback]

I use DVD shrink and DVDDecrypter to create an ISO and then burn with DVD decrypter. I'd say this works about 90 percent of the time. Is there anything newer that is as easy as these two to use. Or what is the most widely used right now. I rarely compress unless it is a kids movie or animated.
I see several references to cloneDVD and ANYDVD.

DVDFab Decrypter is great because it handles the newer protections.

There is not a "single software" solution to backing up DVD's as far as I know.

With the proper PSL2 file, DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink can handle any title. As an option, DVD Decrypter, then VOB Blanker to remove the "rubbish" from the ARccOS encryption, then DVD Shrink is equally successful.

I'm a longtime CloneDVD/AnyDVD user and I find them to be ideal. If you don't like compression, CloneDVD can split the dvd across two blanks(something I almost never do myself). They handle all the protections with ease...basically you just wait a couple of hours for Slysoft to update AnyDVD and then you're good to go. You will have to pay for them, but, IMO, they are very much worth it.

Hi!

Since "SamuriHL" has mentioned commercial programs, I'd suggest to you that my personal favorite (also commercial) is DVD95Copy - Rips, compresses, and burns, is always kept current and has very good support...

I agree, if it doesn't work for a particular movie, wait a day (sometimes hours) and they will fix it so it will.

Indeed. I find if I have a movie I can't rip, I send them the IFO files from the DVD as an attachment to a support email, and within a few hours a new version is released that fixes it. That is excellent service.

DVD43 and DVD Shrink. Never come across a disc I couldn't rip.

I second this.

Dvd95copy IS an all in one program. it rips,shrinks and burns all in one process. put the disc in,start the process and come back in about an hour,and the disc is done.

Also, it has some cool features,it can split discs,join flippers,1:1,movie only and my favorite,the ability to remove whole title sets while still keeping the menu. All this for only one price,that is about half of what the anydvd/clonedvd combo costs.

to be fair,you cant do anything with retail software that cant be done for free,with just a little patience.

Thanks for all the help. I really like the CloneDVD\AnyDVD interface. I might go down that road. I don't compress I jsut shop around for verbatim +R dl to go on sale and if I can't find them on sale I back the file up to my hard drive until I do.

Didn't someone already mention DVDFab?

They don't just make the decrypter, they make several packages to handle these duties. A good freind of mine swears that DVDFab Express has saved him countless hours. From what he showed me he didn't have to do anything other than insert the DVD and press the Start button.
