Having bought Elby Clonedvd, i decided to give Dvd2one a try for comparison
purposes. Well within the last couple of days i've tested both with 10
different films,and to my surprise Dvd2one wins everytime in the quality
stakes. Now hopefully the next version of Clonedvd will restore my faith in the product,or i'll have to ask for a refund.

Although dvd2one is a quality product (very fast) and i still use it now and then i dont think it is anywhere as good as clonedvd...
To me its still very basic and lacks in a lot of functions that clonedvd has..

Dallshead,
It may lack some of the functions that Clonedvd have,but give me quality over functions anytime.

Are you saying that you can visually see a BETTER picture with DVD2ONE at the same compression level?

Nero Recode 2.x claims to have a better picture quality, but I can only confirm the speed improvement. So far, I have not seen any visual improvement given the same level of video compression with various "shrink" programs. Perhaps a magnified still picture will be more revealing...but then we're not doing a real-world performance test.

Can I split to two DVDs with DVD2one? Can I edit the start and end of the main movie title? And how is the support? Shrink/Recode would be best for the experienced users. However, CloneDVD is still the best PURE DVD backup program for the majority of people. Note that you need AnyDVD to backup with CloneDVD.

Furballi,
Yes the tests i did was for Movie only ignoring all the other crap that's contain
on a film. As i said before i've paid good money for Clonedvd, so i'm entitled to be biased towards Clonedvd. Yet all my tests indicates that Dvd2one is far better in the
quality stakes. I'm not blinkered towards any products i tell it as i see it.

I assume the refund part was a joke, right? 'cause you probably won't get one. You got the product you've paid for.

"Hey dealer, I want to refund my used Toshiba Notebook, 'cause there is a new IBM model"

If you like DVD2One and wish to use it and have the cash, then you should buy it. You can use CloneDVD to write the result of DVD2One to disc.

Not to mention, that it cannot write the result to a disc.

so we have a claim that this DVD2One is better than cloneDVD and DVD2One wont even burn a disc? ROFL

If you like DVD2One and wish to use it and have the cash, then you should buy it. You can use CloneDVD to write the result of DVD2One to disc

I can also use Decrypter/Nero etc.etc. But the topic is not about writing the
result it's about the QUALITY comparison of Dvd2one and Clonedvd.

You are missing one very important benefit of Clonedvd......Olli!

That's your choice.

And? As I said, if you like DVD2One go ahead and buy it.
CloneDVD & DVD2One are very different products. DVD2One is *only* a transcoder, CloneDVD2 is a *all in one* solution, including splitting, burning, etc.

Chas0039,
Maybe so... Are you saying that noone should criticise Clonedvd?It seems to me that some of the replies contributed to this post is biased towards Clonedvd.

olli even if dvd2 one is better than clone dvd(which it isn't} i would never disrespect your program, you have done a great service to us all.

Olli on a different note if a dvd disc has 2 version of the same movie[ i don't mean widescreen or no letterbox] how to tell which on is extened or theat version they even have same running time

Criticism is fine with me. But threats like "you have to improve your product, or I'll ask for a refund" are annoying and

Very unlikely, that two different versions have the same runtime. Check, if they reference the same video material. Watch the quality bar. If you can select both with no difference, than select both. Other than that, check the preview and try to figure out which is which (very annoying on multi angle titles). Ot use your DVD player software and remember the title / angle numbers.

Threats.what Threats? Looks like i've touch a nerve!!.

You did:
"Hey dealer, I want to refund my used Toshiba Notebook, 'cause there is a new IBM model"

Having read between the lines it seems that some animosity between Clonedvd and
Dvd2one exists. Had it been Dvdshrink vs Clondvd i wondered if the response would be different.

I'm a nobody but wouldn't it have been better to post this in the DVD Movie Backup and Copy Software Forum? This is like posting my BenQ's better than a NEC in the NEC Forum.

Can you elaborate on your test procedures? I would also like to see if I can duplicate the performance gain. The mind can play funny tricks if you don't setup double blind tests.

Quality can mean different things to different people.

fuballi,
I have nothing to do with Dvd2one.If you want to carry out a comparison why don't you download the trial version and test it yourself?.

Similar to the burner comparison used as an example, what kind of reaction do you expect trolling into the CloneDVD forum with your unproven claims.

If it's so much better then it was nice to see you around but go off and play with your new tool rather than trying to stir up reactions here.

I daren't ask how old you are, but you are only embarassing yourself the more you post...

Fedorov.

Fedorov999,
What do you mean unproven claims? I can tell when the Quality is completely different in this test. So just get off my back and stop jumping on the bandwagon just because you've seen others posting.
