DVD to DVD-R program?

[menow]

Is there an all in one program just like dvd2svcd but instead of making svcd out of dvd, it'll make dvd-r out of dvd? I am looking for a program that has all the bundled programs included and automated just like dvd2svcd. thanks

[rein01]

Hi

There are several programs who do that example dvd2one, dvdxcopy, dvd2dvr and pinnacle's instand copy

Dvd2Svcd does DVD-R as well, I use it all the time for converting divx and Dvd.
Just enable DVD2SVCD level to advanced and then change to dvd resize in framserver tab and don't make an image at the end..gives much better quality than the other so called dvd copy programmes.

[rein01]

the programs i mensioned are a lot easyer to use and dvd2dvr uses also cce for encoding the quality is the same.

I fail to see how they can be easier to use than dvd2svcd considering he has been using it to make Svcds already.
Also, apart from dvd2dvdr which uses CCE the other programmes you mention may be faster but the quality is no where near as good as something like a 4 pass vbr conversion with Dvd2Svcd.

[markrb]

In my opinion your both wrong.

DVD2SVCD is not a one step program for DVD-R like the others mentioned since you still need an authoring step. Like using Maestro, Scenerist, ReelDVD, etc... to mux and create the support files. BBmpeg does not create DVD compliant Muxes at this point.

The quality is not the same. Instant copy seems to be the closest, but it still falls short of CCE. DVD2ONE is a distant second to IC. I have not truly tested IC yet myself so I am only going by trusted sources. According to them IC is very good, but still lagging CCE a bit.

Right now I prefer using DVD2SVCD to create the mpv and ac3 files and then use Scenerist to finish it off. I am going to give IC a close look soon, but I am sure there are titles out there that will still need more work.

Yes I agree. Instant Copy is decent if you're looking for a quick backup and an all in one program, however, obviously it is not the same as CCE. I still prefer to use dvd2svcd and encode with CCE and then author in Maestro, however I still have to test a bit more with Instant Copy. It did do a decent job with my Austin Powers 3 keeping the entire DVD in tact, but obviously the quality suffered a bit, something which could have been a little better if using CCE.

It only needs authoring if you want to put a menu and chapters in.
Lately I have decided that all I really want is a decent quality film at the end so just use ifoedit to mux the sound and video from Dvd2Svcd and make compliant vobs and ifos...takes about 5 mins...then just burn with Prassi.

[markrb]

Ok so how does that make it a one step program?
It doesn't.
No matter how little extra you need to do. You still need to do more then DVD2SVCD.

I've tried dvdxcopy and instant copy but when I play back the dvd, the picture skips, sounds are distorted/clicks.

[Fmazzanti]

I agree with you markrb. I've also tried dvd2one, Ic and DVD2SVCD and prefer the later as CCE encoding is much better than transcoding.
BTW, have you tried DVD2DVDR? This one uses CCE and is really a one step prog, as it not only process the movie but generates VOBS and IFOS using IfoEdit's authoring capabilities...
Furthermore, it encodes *faster* than in DVD2SVCD. I guess that's because it uses less filters, etc... but the actual fact is that it si faster.

I'm sorry, did I say it was a one step programme ANYWHERE?
no..someone asked a question and I, as well as others gave an opinion about a direction to go.

Edited because I'm a peaceful guy by nature :devil:

[Fmazzanti]

Easy, easy... let's stay quiet please. This forum is so nice and helpful for us guys who like to learn and discuss...

[markrb]

Is there an all in one program just like dvd2svcd but instead of making svcd out of dvd This was the original question.

I in no way am attacking you. I am simply pointing out that your reply is not what is being asked for. Yes you can do what you said and that is what I do, but for those that want the one button solution for DVD->DVD DVD2SVCD is not it at this point.
Keep it friendly or you could face actions by the mod team.

Mark

And that has me worried because?
I was quite happy to leave it at that but you had to be the big "I am" and threaten me with the mod team..ROTFL.
Since you joined the team Mark all you seem to do is jump down peoples throat just because they dare to sometimes disagree with your opinion (and that's all it is..an opinion) or because they didn't do things 100% by the book.
Now I know that being a mod means that you may have to answer the same question over and over..or point them in the right direction when they get things wrong..but there are ways and means of doing it that involve just a friendly push rather than going straight on the attack as you seem to.
Lets face it..if not keeping it friendly means getting banned then your arse would have been out of here long ago.

Will be interesting to see how long this message stay on the forum won't it

:rolleyes:

So long people..I have learned a lot here..but hey, at the end of the day I had to say what I thought (and a lot of others feel the same so I have been told).

[onesoul]

Posting just to remember of the tool DoItFast4U.

[markrb]

Ok Where is the I am?
Where is the attack?
Where is the force this down your throat?
I have been nothing, but friendly here.
You are the one attacking, not me.
So I disagree with you and then you take that as a slight, which was never the case and then you degrade it further. Look closely all I say is that DVD2SVCD is not a one button solution which was asked for in the original post and you come back with an attack which was edited later.

Lets have a look at your own edit where you admit to going over the line:
Edited because I'm a peaceful guy by nature

I said Mod team, I never said me as in point of fact I don't tend to strike somebody that I am involved in so that I can have others look at it and determine if a strike is needed. If it was up to me I would have issued a strike for your last post, but I didn't. I will ask others to look at it. I am too involved here to be objective, which I believe is fair.

You don't like it leave or stay and decide to become a valuable member of this forum. I prefer the latter, but it's your call and not mine.

[Sockpuppet-uk]

I was not just talking about this thread but the forum in general and I edited my post purely to avoid this confrontation..not because I thought I stepped over the line but because Fmazzanti thought I should stay "quiet"..but it is said now and I stand by it.
As far as I am concerned I have had my say and there will be no more on the subject by myself apart from to say that I could post a lot of quotes here from yourself to back up my post but it does no good for the forum so I am now leaving well alone.
You know, there was never a problem here until you came in with the "you are both wrong" bit..there was enough information for the original poster to already make up his own mind which way he wanted to go.

Mods: Do what you have to do

Mark : You want the last word?..then go ahead..be my guest.

[markrb]

Mark : You want the last word?..then go ahead..be my guest. Ok

I now see what you got upset at and I really can't believe it. When I said you are both wrong my whole point was that there seemed to be some possibility of tension between you two and I jumped in to offer my opinion and if you read it you saw "In my Opinion". So if I said you are both wrong and right would that have been better? In that post it clearly that I use close to the same method as you and pointed it out there. I also said or implyed that the image quality was better with your method. So as much as I was saying your position was not completely a one step solution, which was asked for, I also agreed that it was best for quality.
I really can't believe anyone took that as offensive. It was really never meant to be.

I fail to see how they can be easier to use My whole point was against this statement in your post. I clearly see how a one click solution is easier and I fail to see how you cannot see this. One click is easier, even if it is still just a few extra easy steps. Those steps still are around.

And part of me reasoning to post was to stop you from being confrontational with rein01 with which it seemed to be going. Of course you took my rather innocent words and somehow found them to be offensive and then went off in a tizzy. It then balloned from there. I kept pointing out that there was no attack, but somehow you kept seeing one. I will point it out again there was no attack or intent of such at you.

As far as my Mod duties. I have been a mod long enough to be attacked like this a few times and see almost every mod on this forum and others attacked the same way. It doesn't bother me any more and I really don't care what people who obviously are mad at me for some reason feel about what I do. Over time there has been some nastiness and some of the worst was with a member Waldock. We had a really nasty round, but know what in the end we worked it out and I truly respect him now and he seems good with me as well. So I never give up on someone based on one little disagreement.
Believe it or not I am not on some sort of power trip. Everything I do is my opinion of what is best for the forum.
You will see a few things from me from time to time that I don't like. A bad tittle, because it really hurts peoples ability to search for an answer to a problem. Lack of reading the forum or searching because it just wastes space and time and lack of the proper info since everything is easily spelled out for you if you take 5 minutes to read a couple of stickies that are clearly marked.

I will make a deal with you if you are willing to go along with it. Let's both forget this whole mess and start fresh. I am willing to forget it if you are. I really don't like being attacked, but people do have their bad days.

Mark

[mrbass]

The dvd2one and instant copy forum is rather loose...people are posting subjects entitled "DVD2ONE" and "problem!!!". I wish there was a mod who cleaned it up a bit over there.

I'm still waiting for markrb's opinion of IC of 75% or better compared to CCE for dvds. He promised me he'd do it before we attacked Iraq :sly:

[hoozdapimp]

Wow, alot of action in this thread today. I am glad I was gone for this one. However, I do have some concerns.

Since you joined the team Mark all you seem to do is jump down peoples throat just because they dare to sometimes disagree with your opinion (and that's all it is..an opinion) or because they didn't do things 100% by the book.

When I first found this forum, I knew nothing about the subject. However, through reading the forums and sifting through thousands of threads, I have come to learn alot. I'm not just saying this because I am a mod either, but I have to say that there isn't a whole lot out there regarding dvd2svcd that markrb doesn't know about. He is always around to help people out when they need help. The statement you made above is totally false.

In the end, I think your comments were both rude and unnecessary. You have been issued a strike.

[mrbass]

If markrb didn't enforce the rules then you'd have people quit volunteering to be mods like ddogg who contributed a ton of stuff but got tired of answering it over and over. That's kinda why I quit too come to think of it.

[waldok]

Ha Ha I like this thread. Reminds me of the time I was striked 3 times in a row and got my nice 30day vacation from the forum :D

Waldok:cool:

Then I suspect you will be issuing another one real soon...I was quite willing to leave it there but so be it.

Mark,
This continuing thread has NOTHING to do with how you interpreted my post..which was never going to be confrontational towards rein01 but was just giving an alternative...and is certainly not about whether you thought I was right or wrong regarding the advice.
As menow said later in the thread he couldn't get on with the "one stop" solution as Quote: the picture skips, sounds are distorted/clicks, therefore he now knows that Dvd2Svcd (I believe this part of the forum is about said programme isn't it?) is able to do the same job with just a little more input and much better quality...I for one would have expected nothing less from any member of this group and if I had the same question as him would have hoped that someone would have let me know so I had the choice of trying a different method.
In fact going by your rules the thread should have not even be allowed on the Dvd2Svcd forum as it is to do with one step solutions for dvd which Dvd2Svcd isn't...come to that only pinnacle's instant copy really is as the others require an external burning prog.

:devil:

Oh, and I have no problem with Mark enforcing the rules, that's what he is there for but more to do with the WAY he enforces them..a little tact when dealing with people goes a long long way.

[waldok]

Sockpuppet,

Forgive me to be rude, but you are being just as dumb as I was a few months ago. You won't have to wait long until DVD2Svcd (the mod, not the software), calls you "obnoxious" (I still don't know what it means anyway) and you get a few more strikes for a 30day trip to "outtahere". Believe me, I've been there and you're not a winner when you cannot even post anything anymore to help some other guys around.


Honestly it would be pretty stupid to be banned for this. (Don't misunderstand me, I'm not threatening here, besides I'm no mod so I couldn't even strike you). Just a friendly advice.

Peace.

Waldok:cool:

[Sockpuppet-uk]

Hi Waldok.

Thanks for the advice and no I don't think you are being rude at all..in fact you see that's where I differ to others on this forum, I am quite happy to take it when I think it is beneficial.
As for the winning part I think you mis-understand the reason I am carrying on with this "discussion"..It's not about winning or losing..it's just about free speech, the freedom to choose and common courtesy.

Peace back at ya :D

[markrb]

I had this whole huge thing written out, but after thinking about I realized 3 things:

1. Nothing I say will ever change your mind
2. This thread is of no real value anymore
3. I don't really care what you think. Don't get me wrong I care what most people think, but not you at this point.

I am going to close this thread.

If you have a problem PM Doom9.

You have your right to your opinion and I will not hold this thread against you in the future.

@Waldok sorry for spelling your Nic wrong. I really meant what I said about respecting your opinion now. We started out rocky, but I hope we are better now.

Mark
