Wow!!! Thanks for all the replies to this topic. Yes, I'm easily confused by all the technical jargon about different software/freeware etc. I'm a newbie at this and just want to start out simple. I'll use Nero to burn and DVD shrink to compress. If you were in my shoes and starting out as a newbie, what would be your best options? Nero 9 suite has an abundance of stuff on it, but mostly I'm interested in the burning, copying stuff.
So, do you see me needing anydvd at this time? I probably should just get it. Are there advantages of having both anydvd and clonedvd? I'm assuming clonedvd is what my Nero would do, is that right? I don't need to use Nero if you think that the recode has bugs/fleas/maggots, etc. Like I said, I'm very new at this stuff and it does get me confused. This is what I know I need:
Decryption software-anydvd?
burning software-nero or clonedvd??
compression-dvd shrink??
Anything else? Thanks for all the help....I'll need it.
