This little app has always been my favorite since it came out. Was one of the first (if not The First) to transcode the menus of full and episodic backup dvd's correctly. And now I see that it is one of the highest rated for video quality, which really didn't surprise me.
I wish him well, he's been one of the true pioneers of the business.

No wonder other software developers are purchasing his code to use in their software. For me, I'll stick with the original developer of Dvd95Copy.

I have never invested in this tool and have been using Instant Copy till now. The gap between IC's quality and other apps output continues to narrow and I am considering a move to DVDShrink or DVD95. A critical issue for me is whether Title/Video/Audio Stripping is done correctly and preserves a working structure -

1. Title removal is done in such a way that the integrity of the VIDEO_TS.IFO and related VTS.IFO's are not disrupted and will not be rejected by fussy players. This must work for the most complex structures, such as when you are removing Titles from multi-Title Title sets.

2. Audio/Video streams are removed with "ghost" references in the .IFO's so that the stream numbers and ordering are unaffected.

Point 2 is less important because you can correct menu problems now fairly easily with Menuedit, Point 1 is the main issue - NONE of the one clickers does this properly at the moment.

DVDShrink's title cropping feature would solve this problem - but you cannot use the feature in Full Copy mode.

Does the new beta of DVD95 carry out Title stripping properly in the way I have described? If so I will consider an investment in DVD95

From what I tested, it worked well. Removed Titlesets are still part of the backupped DVD, but are replaced with minimum sized Dummy Titlesets.

Regarding what Digimedic (the developer) told me, dummies are placed, but those "ghosts" are not placed in that way, that you will notice them when switching through on your player. He said, that he places the dummies in the MAT of the IFO...whatever that means (I'm no pro at IFO-Structure stuff). The stream numbers are kept, but you won't have to switch through replaced audio/subs. You can only switch between the streams, that are still there. But by placing those "Ghosts" in the so-called MAT, it seems to be no problem.

Anyway, it works fine that way.

Just one thing: normally Record Now Max refused burning, when I tried to burn a "raped structure" (I mean ripping out audiotracks and subs without replacing them porperly for example). Nero would have burnt that, but Nero burns every you crap you'll feed it ;)

Well, RNM doesn't refuse the results from dvd95copy 1.6 Beta :)

Thanks for the info on this. I'd like to try out the 1.6 beta but since I have not bought 1.5 yet i'll have to wait till 1.6 comes out and use the demo.

Hi 69MWS just one more question :

When you refer to Title Sets do you actually mean Titles?

Wholesale removal of Titlesets is not feasible if you want to retain structural integrity - only Titles within a Titleset with the dummy references you refer.

Please can you confirm this is what it actually does

Thx

[69Mws]

No, Titlesets are not removed completely when unchecking them.

If you have six Titlesets for example and you uncheck Titlesets 1 & 2 because they just contain crappy trailers you don't need, they are still there in the result dvd95copy spits out.

I'll do a job with dvd95copy with removing Titlesets and post some screens here about what happens, maybe then it becomes clearer :)

@DVD Maniac:

Now here it is. I made up a little page (VERY professional... :D ), which may clear things a little up 'bout how dvd95 handles unchecking Titlesets.

You'll find the page here (http://www.nefkom.net/miko/dvd95.htm)

Good work - shows what DVD95 does really well!

I have been in contact with the author regarding an extension of this functionality to allow removal of individual Titles/PGC's as well as full titlesets. Digimedic says about 2 to 4 weeks.

Looking forward to that!

Is there any news on the Title Stripping feature?

Also, I was wondering whether Stream removal was being enhanced so that references are still left in the ifo and vob's to stop player crashing. I know that Menu edit can correct these problems (in most cases) but it would be great to see this feature added like DVD Shrink does.

With these final enhancements I would be happy to proclaim DVD95Copy the king of the Backup apps!

DVD95Copy's home page is down. I hope this isn't a sign of bad things happening.
