Im not begging for anything Phil to be honest I just said it was nice to dream. :P :D

Im patient and I am more than happy with the current tools available to me of which there are many. :)

@jorel

Thanks Jorge for that tip on the DMA being switched on I shall give that a try see if it improves my speed probs. :)

EDIT: Hi Jorge, just checked and all DMA settings are switched on. :(

I don't think you'll ever see a notch matrix for Shrink.

It's not a real compressor, it's a transcoder - what they call "compressed domain transcoding" (or some such). It's a completely different thing to re compressing like we do with Tmpgenc or CCE.

I've just done a movie only (no menu, no extras), in 87%, in 27 mins (inc burn with Shrink), quality = undetectable from original dvd.

@Fluffbutt

Thanks for the info.

I do think Shrink does do a good job of backing up DVD's with reasonable quality but it's still not a patch on the 'notch' matrix.

I've made KDVD's with 3 movies on one DVD up to 6 hours and the quality is indistinquishable from the original.

Calm down on such declaration. Let say that _you_ don't see any diff from the original (btw anyone speaking here is speaking for himself, that's logical ;-)). But I can show you a lot of diff...

Very true Phil I agree there I may have gone a bit overboard. :D

For one2one backup I think KDVD quality is awesome provided of course that your original DVD source is also of good quality. ;)

EDIT: To many for's at the beginning of my second paragraph. :oops:

Yes. You can even say that sometimes the KDVD looks better than the original ;-)

Again very true Phil I did backup one of my DVD's with just one2one and the end result was amazing and the quality superb. :D

@Phil

I downloaded ImgTool Burn ver 1.1.5 (Not Classic) and I need to know if I can leave the settings as default or do I need to change a few things.

I have a NEC 1300A firmware 1.0A and in Nero when burning an authored DVD I usually leave Nero to the default settings such as Book type DVD-ROM.

I was wondering if I should set this in ImgTool but I read on their forum that there is a problem with the NEC1300A when using this.

Is Book Type important?

I ask this as although Nero burns my DVD's o.k and they play o.k I have had a couple of DVD's that when I've tried to copy the files back to my PC either by trying to re-rip them or just using Windows explorer to copy the VOBs over I get this Windows error: "Cannot Copy VTS_01_05: Data errir (Cyclic Redundancy Check)."

So to recap:

In the Filesystem Flags: I have these ticked:

Enable UDF
Enable ISO 9660

Other Settings: These are ticked:

Enable Burn-Proof
Don't eject media after burning

In the main Window these are ticked:

Reallocate Video_TS Scructure & Quick Erase for DVD-RW & DVD+RW

Any light you can shed on this Phil would be greatly appreciated.

This tool has settings ? Never noticed ;-)

Physical problem on the media, nothing to do with all what you are wondering about. Else you would have them on all your disc and not a couple of them.

Thanks Phil so basically I can just leave the default settings.

I main reason I asked was the DVD-ROM book type option.

On Nero this is ticked but on ImgBurn its unticked. So I guess I can leave it unticked.
