I do not compress my DVD copies.
I'd like to know how can I know if the copy's gonna need a DVD-5 or a DVD-9? Within CloneDVD2, it's easy with the % quality bar. What about CloneCD?
Thanks.
Thanks for your link, but it doesn't answer my question.
My mistake. In clonecd the source size must equal the destination size. And in Clonecd, there is no feature that lists that information for you. Most commercial movies require dvd-9s. The blank to use, therefore, should be Verbatim+R DL.
1) I burned ~ 300 Memorex+R DL. Only got 2 errors with them. I bought 100 Verbatim+R DL lately, and on 40 I tried, I got about 17 defect. My burner's a LG. I will try to update my firmware and see, but it's doing the same thing on my 2nd computer which use a Sony DVD writer.
2) Why do you recommend ripping to HD first? I cloned about 30 DVD today (with both CloneDVD and CloneCD) "on the fly" and I tested them all thoroughly
I'm not using my computer while it's copying, and both writers are on their own IDE channel.

When I copy a movie, I want to know if the original disc is a DVD-5 or a DVD-9. With CloneDVD2, it's easy to know with the quality bar %. But with CloneCD, I can't find any hint that will tell me whether to use a DVD-5 or a DVD-9.
i thought the easiest way is to pick up and look on the back of the dvd case:I'd like to know how can I know if the copy's gonna need a DVD-5 or a DVD-9
