Keeping Menu`s

[vljenewein]

I am using the 1.2.4 version now, but Road to Perdition was done I believe with the 1.2.2 version of DVD95COPY. I just did Gladiator with Russell Crowe and does great. Plays the menus in the beginning and I can jump to different chapter just like on our original.

I did "Spy Kids 2" for our daughter, as her ORIGINAL would not play on her computer... seems it had a problem with the encryption. so....

I ripped the whole movie with DVD Decrypter FILE mode, then used DVD95COPY to create a folder c:\SPYKIDS2_BURN\VIDEO_TS\ and put pointer to there for the destination.. then used Nero to burn. She now plays her movie, AND extras on her computer where she was unable to before because of the encryption and such. How about that??!!!


Also I am using a CenDyne (Pioneer) DVR-105 model burner -R and using Ritek 4X media.. it cost me $2.00 each and I could have gotten it cheaper, if I wanted to buy a 50 or 100 pack. Best advice I can give is to use GOOD quality media.. NEVER has it been so important as in DVD backup!! I use the lates Nero update and Adaptec's ASPI layer 4.71.2 that I downloaded from their website, also.

Instant Copy is better, but if you rather have the exact image with the exact Menus, then your best bet is to split it into 2 discs and retain all extras, etc...

DVD95COPY & Instant Copy will get you a big video quality loss in the pictures....hope this explain a little more in detail

Hey m8

I am using version 1.1.

[setarip]

"I am using version 1.1"

In view of the fact that registered owners , who have purchased this commercial software, automatically receive updates via email (now up to v.1.2.4), I can only assume that your problem lies with the fact that you are using an outdated WAREZ version of DVD95Copy...

[Mexman]

Hey m8

The version i got was off Kazaa and it did not ask me to register so yes i assume it is a warez copy. I wanted to try this before i did anything else as i have been burnt by this before. I have bought loads of software with the promise that it does something and when you get it it is rubbish, so i will not do that anymore. And despite all the good reports on Dvd95Copy what i have seen so far is not good, 2 disks backed up, 1 good, 1 coaster.....

[vljenewein]

There have been fixes and improvements since ver 1.1 How can you evaluate it off the 1 good one coaster thing if you don't have a current copy? If it were not for the fact that you get your money back if you don't like it, I might not have bought it, but I did.. and I am not asking for my money back! And I also own DVD2ONE too, so I'm sort of doubling up as they say.

If I made some red wine with lots of tannins in it, and let someone taste it when it was new and young they probably wouldn't ever buy any of my wine...but let it age a bit and softer the tannins and improve and it's very good. The same would be true of Chateau Lafitte Rothchild Premier Gran Cru wine. In it's infancy no one would think much of it, but see how much it command in price once it has settled down and matured!

[Mexman]

Well Vernon,

Your either far too intelligent for your own good or just a boring git .... Lol ...... No offence.

I see where you are coming from but like i say once bitten and all. I probably will go ahead and buy it but at the mo i am looking at all my options before i make a decision.

Thx for your input even if it was a crock as i know nothing about wine so i made no sense.... Sorry.

[vljenewein]

My analogy with the wine is that DVD95COPY, like wine when new, is a bit rough around the edges. Let it mature a bit, fix a few oversight bugs, improve upon it a bit from user and imput and the test of time and it will be a wonderful program, and it is well on it's way.

Oftentimes in life you get what you pay for and this little program is defenitely worth the money to have a righteous copy.

[Mexman]

Well Vernon

Thx for the input. I cannot evaluate the copy i have because i have now done 6 films with it, 3 good and 3 coasters so i either risk everyone praises and buy it or look for another solution. I think i am gonna end up buying it to be truthfull with you.

Thx again....

hey vljenewein when the old man said theres gold in dem dar hills knowone listened. we keep trying to say theres a better way than trying to use this prog and that prog and still not getting the hole movie, this prog just works 15 movies no costers
i used ver. 1.1 thur 1.24. if your system can handle the data transfer u shouldn't make costers
know what i mean vern!!!!

[vljenewein]

Yep, onerose from same state I know what you mean!

I am running a Maxtor 80GB hard drive and it is partitioned into believe it.. 5 different slices. I even have Linux and Windows ME on this hard drive. well.. my RAM is DDR at 768 Mb. I have seen people poke around using 256 or even less and wonder why this program don't work I have also seen them use earlier versions of Nero burning software and complaing that this software don't work.. won't play in their DVD machines. ahh

I have no problems whatsoever with this or DVD2ONE. I use them both, and commend both authors. If you have a system that is nearly full with little swap space, then you might have some problems.. if you are running underpowered in the CPU or CPU cooling then you might run into problems.. word is might, not "gonna" or such.

The way I look at it, if the program this or any other, works on the majority of computers out there and it's crashing on your computer.. then I think you have set something wrong, or are asking more than your system can handle..

[Mexman]

Well guys i`m afraid i disagree, I have a 2200XP, 1gb Kingston Ram, 80gb and a 120gb Western Digital 7200rpm hard drives with 8mb cache and still i only get a 50% success rate with Dvd95Copy. Dvd2One is 100% at the moment. This is why i am looking at all the avenues before deciding. All the settings in Dvd95Copy is set okay so ???

Dunno

Dvd2One is the kiddy but does not keep the menu`s, Dvd95Copy is the daddy but only 50% success for me??

[setarip]

To Mexman

Just as a point of information:

To date I've successfully duplicated 31 of my DVDs using DVD95Copy.

The only problem I've run into is the program's inability to process and convert Bourne Identity (It generates a 'failed" error message regarding the "Video Manager" - Video_ts.vob). I've communicated with the author regarding this problem. He hopes to have it resolved shortly...

Maybe if you bought the 'real' copy and not use the free warez copy you got from Kazaa and then got the updates your success rate might go up a bit more. I've had nothing but successes with this program!

Dear Vernon

If you read all the posts to this thread then you will realise that you have said this [ Several Times ] and you will also see my response to your comment - Not to be rude but change the record mate..
