Where the cheaper/faster programs are just tossing out information to shrink the movie, CCE actually re-encodes to a min/max/average bitrate. It's re-encoding the movie with perfect quality (assuming you use a decent bitrate).

Hmmmm..... "decent" quality. I guess that is the key. Do any of these render acceptable quality movies?

Those thinking that DVD95copy, DVD2one, or DVDshrink can touch Instant Copy when it comes to quality definetly need to download this file and judge for yourself.

I think it's pretty obvious (and I can confirm with my own tests) that Instant Copy is the clear leader when it comes to quality. CCE may be ever so slightly better, but it costs $2,000, and even if you don't care that it costs $2,000 cause you're just going to warez it, frankly I'm way too lazy to learn how to use another program when Instant Copy gives a fantastic image and costs $20 after rebate.
Instant Copy is a slower than the other programs, but hey. You know what they say. Quality or Speed. Choose one.

I have used both Instant Copy and Dvd2one, which is similar to DVDshrink. Instant copy is about 10 times slower and the quality is definitely worse. So much for the quality vs speed argument. After seeing the Instant Copy mangled results of longer movie with severe MPEG artifacts, I won't ever use the program again, even though I own a copy.Instant Copy is a slower than the other programs, but hey.

I've had excellent luck with DVD2One myself, even with longer movies (6-8GB). Considering I watch them on a new 64" Pioneer, that's saying quite a bit. Typically, the only places that I see degradation are in high contrast areas such as dark night scenes with clouds. Daylight scenes are basically flawless, and I'm a picky ah heck. I use DVD Decrypter to rip, and Nero and also Gear Pro to burn. I will be trying Instantcopy though, as I'm always willing to experiment. I'm curious if Instantcopy allows the removal of menus, etc., as DVD2One does. I absolutely love that feature! I watch a movie for the movie and not the superfluous content that is thrust upon us these days.
1. Ahhhhh. Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, DVD Shrink does not like my system (WIn2K/ P4 2.4). It freezes on the Cropping step, as well as the "analyze" step. Sigh.Originally posted by: Codewiz
I use DVD Shrink to remove extras, audio, subtitles I don't want. Along with that I can remove end credits if I want. I don't use any compression with DVD Shrink. After DVD Shrink has removed everything I send it through instantcopy.
Another thing to consider is that DVD2One isn't very consistent throughout a movie...........
