intervideo dvd copy

Has anyone tried intervideo's dvd-copy? How does it compare to the rest?

I gave it a try. At first glance, it only allows you to choose one audio track and one set of subtitles. That alone made me lose interest, but I was curious as to the quality, so i went ahead.
I chose DVD settings, everything in.
After 3 hours (P4@1800, 512 Ram) it produced three files:
Movie_0.mpeg 3,96 GB (4.257.310.720 bytes)
Movie_0.-vol-02.mpeg 305 MB (320.665.600 bytes)
Movie_1.mpeg 2,60 GB (2.797.387.776 bytes)
The first part has 1.12mins of the movie, the rest is in the other two parts(!!).
OK, I may be a little hit by the heat wave that is over Greece, but I'm sure I did everything ok. But as it takes three hours, I'm not gonna do it again :)
The movie is "Up Close and Personal" which I had already done without a prob using both with IC7 and CloneDVD.
I think an update is a must :)

I finaly tried it too... If you chose to output to the disk, it produces an mpeg movie with one audio and one "burned-in" subtitle. I also think that it is doing a full reencoding, given tha time it takes. On the other hand, if you chose to output directly to a dvd (I used a rewritable), then it works in the usual way, like ic or clonedvd and takes as much time as ic. In that case it also retains all audio and subtitle streams, giving you no option to select what you want. You can only add or remove titlesets. I tried it with startrek 2 and the quality was rather bad, probably because it retained all 3 audio streams and 12 subtitles.

P.S. It's much cooler today ;-), give it another try.
