DVD2SVCD: Has anyone tried DVD2DVD as backup ?
 

@Anyone,

Another sub-function of D2S112B1 that can create DVD+-R backup.
If you have tried this, let me know how it compares to others. Also,
since Tmpgenc can be used, whether KDVD templets can be used?

@All,

Scenarist is probably why most have shyed away from D2D and at
first so did I until I discovered you can stop the process at the
Scenarist step and use DVDLab or DVD Maestro for authoring. I used
a full 30 day trial version of DVDLab to multiplex AC3 and M2V with
the dvd structure created. I also used CCE 2.66 SP ($58 ) as the encoder
which took 1/4 the time of Tmpgenc and the quality was the same.
I sure wish DVDLab had command line parms to create a workaround
for the Scenarist step by executing a batch file calling DVDLab. D2D
can call you favorite burner. Going to try "Gangs of NY" with 2 discs
and compare the quality to DVD2One v130. Transcode vs Encoder
test is what I shooting for. If all goes well, I could have a solution
for very long movies, i.e. "Green Mile", "Pearl Harbor", etc. :D
And maybe any movie backup if picture quality is better :wink:

Hi BP:

Please keep us abreast of your progress. (I finally completed my first kdvd, over 70 minutes in one dvd, pictures are not great, but they are good. I have already gave up on TOK, and will use CQmatic)
