Re: clonedvd vs. dvd shrink (analyzing stuff)

if yo're not satisfied with the program i'm probably not going to change your mind, but i wanted to add that you don't have to look at it as using dvd shrink INSTEAD of clonedvd2. I use them together ALL the time.

i use cdvd2 to rip in dvd-DL mode and remove any foreign audio tracks, extra titlesets while PRESERVING MENUS.

then i open this in dvdshrink and use shrink's advanced compression options to compress.

this method results in an even better quality transcode than using shrink alone (since there is less material to compress in the first place) and also allows you to keep the menus, which shrink does not allow when modifying the included titlesets.

just a thought on how to get even better quality rips uing BOTH programs together.

like i said...i'm nto trying to change your mind, just provide a different use.
