DVD ReBuilder: Overview

DVD ReBuilder
Author: JDOBBS

DVD ReBuilder was built to bridge the gap between the incredibly easy but limited "one-click" solutions and the incredibly complex but high-quality methods of DVD ripping and backup.

A major advantage of DVD-RB when compared to older methods is that it doesn't require access to an expensive authoring package. DVD-RB includes its own authoring engine that reconstructs the DVD in a way compatible with its original design.

DVD ReBuilder is currently in beta form and undergoing heavy development by it's author, jdobbs.
