... A nice difference with CloneDVD is that once you clear (uncheck) the Director's Commentary on one DVD, the settings remain on all subsequent burns until you change it. It's as if CloneDVD views your settings on each burn as saved ...
Yes ptblades,
To be more specific, when you are on the CloneDVD "page" for audio and subtitle track selections, anything you selelct or deselect in the Right-Hand pane becomes your Default Choices from then on. Anything that you select or deselect on the Left-Hand pane is used for only that individual session of CloneDVD (i.e. just the movie you are backing up now). Your selections made in the left hand pane will be cleared away after you close CloneDVD. When you open CloneDVD to backup the next movie you buy, audio and subtitles to be included automatically revert back to your pre-set defaults already pre-chosen by you in the right-hand pane.
... I have wasted many blanks trying to elim but have not figured out why the comentary starts in the first place. Even to go through the main menue does noe not elim the comentary. It is like it only recorded the comentary ...
Same for you mabachko. Make your one-time selections in the
Right-Hand pane of CloneDVD's Track Selection "Page" and they will become your defaults. That way you don't have to make selections for every movie. On certain movies, if you
do want to include the Director's Commetary Track, the selection on that movie only should be made on the Left-Hand Pane. Like, for instance, if you are a big Ridly Scott fan and you want only your backup of "Gladiator" to include Ridly's Commentary then don't override your defaults by selecting Commentary in the right-hand pane ... leave that pane as it is and make your one-time, "Gladiator"-only selections in the left hand pane.
For both of you and anyone else, if you are having trouble not being able to playback the track you want to play or figuring out (on the CloneDVD Track Selection Page) which track is which or why the wrong track plays by default etc, then please see the following posting. One key point: Keeping "Preserve Menus" checked and included on your backup can be very important (for correct audio & subtitle track playback functionality) when copying many originals (depending on how the original was mastered).

Webslinger,
Hi and congrats by the way ... do I have to call you "Sir" now? CloneDVD old timers know this stuff but these same track-selection questions are gonna get asked a thousand times on this new forum ... maybe you want to cut and paste some track selection info from both this SS forum and cdf and make a sticky so we can just point members to the sticky in order to cut down (hopefully?) on multiple same-problem postings.
Best regards,
Whisperer
