DVD2one F.A.Q rev 31-01-03

Q:) When will the 1:1 copy function be available?
A:) As soon as it's finished, we do not give out any predictions of when what is ready.

Q:) When i want to process a DVD the program says: Encryption detected
A:) DVD2one can not decrypt discs, use a other tool for that (google is your friend)

Q:) Will DVD2one in the future be possible to decrypt or read directly from DVD?
A:) Most likely not, DVD2one is a proccessing tool and our intention is to keep it like that!

Q:) The original dvd was 16:9, after running it trough DVD2one it became 4:3
A:) Some players seem to have a problem with DVD2one streams if the original menu was 4:3. This bug is going to be fixed in the next release

A:) Yes and No, yes it is possible using some very complicated tricks but to do it 1:1 NO not yet (see question one)

Q:) Can i use an external encoder? (like CCE or TMPEG)

A:) Great we apriciate your input, but don't expect every request to be forfilled!

Q:) Where can i download the source?

Q:) What's the secret beyond the speed of the encoder?
A:) We use our own assembly based compression engine!

Q:) Can DVD2one transform DTS to AC3 or visaversa
A:) No, DVD2one is a video compressor no more no less

Q:)What happens if the movie is smaller then 4.37 Gb
