I am looking for a solution to back-up my commercial DVD's with the highest quality I can. Mostly DVD-9 to two DVD-5's. Sometimes DVD-9 to DVD-9. I just read in a (great) sticky post that for the first instance I would need AnyDVD and CloneDVD. For the second I would need CloneCD. Where do CloneDVD and CloneCD overlap in features? Do I need to get AnyDVD plus both Clones to do what I want to do? Thanks.
Anydvcd is just a decrypter and clonedvd2 will rip and burn, clonecd will only do dual layer, clonedvd2 will do dual or single layer dvd's. So yes you want clonedvd2 and anydvd.
If you want to retain the original layer break when using Verbatim +R DL media, for example, you'll want Clonecd. Clonedvd2 will not retain the original layer break position when using +R DL media.
WS...thanks for the good information. Why would it be important to retain the original layer break position with DL? If that is not retained would it possibly affect running out of space on the second layer?
No. Basically it just has to do with where a pause occurs (if at all, during playback; do you like where the pause occurs in the original movie? If so, then use Clonecd.) There's a four page thread here, which after you finish reading, should answer your questions: http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=714
WS, It did...I thank you...I would praise you like some of the others do but don't want to embarrass you…too much…besides what’s the big deal about being clear and concise? Thanks again.
