Copy DVD
Copy Modes
There are three main modes used to copy a video DVD onto the other one:
Copy the entire DVD
Copy DVD without extras
Copy only main movie
Button
Description
ENTIRE DVD
with menus and
extras
Use this button to copy the source DVD with all its structure - main movie,
menus and extras - onto the other DVD. If the size of the source DVD is
bigger than that of the target DVD, the video will be recompressed retaining
the structure of the original DVD.
WITHOUT
EXTRAS
extras will be
removed
Use this button to copy the source DVD and its structure onto the other DVD.
Although the structure will be retained, the extras will be removed and will
become unavailable from the DVD menu. At the same time this can enhance
the main movie quality in case the recompression is needed as sometimes
extras occupy quite a considerable part of the video DVD.
ONLY MOVIE
copy only the
movie
Use this button to copy only the main DVD movie onto the target DVD. The
DVD will be remastered and all the menus and extras will be removed in order
to prevent the movie from being too much compressed. It is very helpful if
you prefer to have the main movie in a better quality and would like to get rid
of the extras or if the extras contain commercials and trailers mainly.
The selected mode will be marked with the sign.
Depending on your needs and the input and the output disc size you can select the mode that will suit
better. For instance, if you would like to save a DVD-9 onto one DVD-5 disc, you will need to
recompress it so that it could fit the lesser capacity disc. If you do not need all the menus and extra
materials from the input disc, you can use the ONLY MOVIE mode to record the main movie only and
delete all the other materials to keep the quality better.
If you want to retain the disc structure (it can be helpful if the disc contains the deleted scenes from
the original movie or the director's cut that can only be selected from the DVD menu), you will need to
select the second mode - WITHOUT EXTRAS .
And finally, if all of the disc contents are important to you, you should select the ENTIRE DVD mode
to preserve the original DVD structure and contents.
Note : you can remove the unnecessary Languages in all the modes, thus enhancing the quality of
the output video.
