It seems to me that still many people are confused with the constant/variable mode of compression in dvd2one. Wouldn't it be nice to have this explanation as a link on the product's home page? Is the least they could do.

The authors despise the fact that people ask the same question all over, having the answer on the forum, but thinking about it,
isn't it annoying to search for an authoritative answer to a question that has been asked dozens of times?

Didn't we pay for this software? I believe paying customers are entitled to a better technical support, instead of being arbitrarily deleted or flamed from these forums, even when having a legitimate question.

Thank you

You should open your eyes.

Then scroll done to V1.2.0, where the new compression engine was introduced.

Click the the big blue underlined text that says compression.

I don't expect it on the 'home' page - although perhaps the page should be linked to in the FAQ.

That's fine, it would be a great service to the DVD2One community that all these common issues be posted as part of the FAQ. As of this date, only two FAQs are posted there.

You know--you're right...
I was going to answer that, in fact, the question was flawed, or that the initial/'vague' hints were actually accurate. But FAQ's here _are_ few, and wapazoid's/my remarks in:
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread....threadid=73541
should be included in a FAQ on this subject (or something similar), and as for Flipper's, sirscrub's guide should be readily-available in a FAQ as well. So should the basic tip's we all repeat for others so regularly, like DVDD use in it's 3.1.4.0 incarnation, and Nero-settings/versions warnings, or C2D/RNM compliancy...

There should be a few more 'directed' FAQ's for newbies...

No offence to you loggy
but in general I fail to see one single reason why there should be such a FAQ in this forum. None of this has anything to do with dvd2one. These are all software from other vendors - why should the dvd2one team have any responsibility in guiding of other vendors software ? dvd2one is a very simple piece of software - it should have a simple guide explaining how to use the dvd2one software and nothing else.
Whatever kind of external tools people decide to use for decrypting, burning etc. is up to themselves. There are thousand and thousands of guides on the net dealing with nerosettings, dvddecrypter, c2d/rnm, dvdfolders, iso etc etc etc - search and read. For the life of me I cannot understand peoples ridiculous demands and lack of individual brainpower.

Would you contact NERO and demand a guide in there forum how to use dvdd, dvd2one etc. just because you use NERO to do the burning.

Would you contact the author of DVDD and demand a guide in his forum how to use dvd2one, nero, rnm etc. etc.

For crying out loud people - start thinking for yourselves and stop expecting everyone else to do everything for you. Its so darn easy to find all this info on the net, simply use google, search for it and start learning - its not rocketscience.

These ridicolous demands is annoying - you bought a piece of software for a specific task at a very reasonable price - the software wil do this simple task very easy. You did not buy a lifetime personal trainingcourse designed to make you experts in all aspects related to creating DVD's - it is therefore not the dvd2one team's responsibility to deliver such.

Its not that I have anything against general FAQ's or Guides being made - but dont demand it from the dvd2one team or in this dvd2one specific forum - a forum is a volontary place to exchange ideas and experience, not a place where you have any demands. Its up to you posters yourself to deliver if you want FAQ's and guides on something you did not buy. And it should be in the general forum not in a dvd2one specific forum unless it deal specifically with dvd2one questions. How to use DVDD or NERO does not comply as such.

Well, I can't really disagree 'per se' with all of that; although the primary drift here had to do with Con/Var--which is D2O-specific.
I wasn't asking for 'features' or anything else from the D2O-team. I just agreed that some common-question FAQ's in here (the place many newbies go when having issues getting up-to-speed with D2O) might save some time for them (and us!). The same questions keep popping-up, and not all are easy to phrase regards getting good 'hits' in a search...

Since I'm not a DVD2One user I think I can say I'm totally impartial to the program.

As such, I was trying to find details on this program to see if it was any good. Going to the homepage for the program and finding only TWO FAQ made me think one thing: hmm, this homepage must not be updated very frequently.

A little observation after surfing many many forums exploring all the different transcoders out there - the folks on this forum who seem to support DVD2One are MEAN-SPIRITED, RUDE, and NOT helpful (in general).

I can hear it now "well if you don't like it, then leave! You're not even a user of DVD2One so what do you know you troll!"

Well...take my comments as slightly constructive criticism. To enable the programmer to continue to create better versions (which some of you want, though many of you don't care for any more features/changes it seems), he must have paying customers. To attract customers you must have updated homepages with good guides, FAQs, etc, a program that shows signs of continually being improved and developed, and a forum that is helpful.

Even though I'll jump in a NewYorkMinute to any other one-clicker that eventually can do a better quality copy than D2O/movie-only, I guess you could call me a 'supporter'. My posts (and most others here) generally are friendly, helpful, accurate, and on-point. In fact, this forum is rather a delight to participate in compared to many, many others in the tech-areas I've participated in.
For it's initial/stated purpose, D2O continues to lead the pack insofar as creating movie-only copies of dvd-movies _reliably_. I constantly test all the others, and either the video-quality is lacking, or there is no safety-zone regards the copy process. IOW, Shrink/Clone/95/IC have too many 'gotcha's' when doing this or that type of movie, or else the output size is all over the place. In contrast, you can do dozens of movie-only's with D2O and not worry 'testing' them--you just KNOW they will be both compliant and high-quality.
For other purposes, like FullMovie menu-handling/place-setters/extras/etc. the others do offer many more options (much to the delight of the media manufacturers...! i.e.--Coasters). It's nice to have options, and the time to experiment--but when you want a movie-only and you want it done right, and output to 4458/4472/whatever...use D2O.
I don't think you're trolling, I think you're 'chatting'. We like to chat here...but it gets a little 'old' seeing some of the unjust critiques of D2O. Or of this forum--which has helped me greatly, and remains a nice place to bandy-about info...
