DVD2SVCD question

[FightingIrish]

Is it possible in the near future to copy on the fly with DVD2SVCD program? This would help save so much hd space and I could eventually create bin& cue (along with MPEG).

I would say impossible.
And even if it was it would take several days to do.
HDD are very cheap.
The price of 2 or 3 full price dvds.
So well worth it.

Well it would be possible, but not for at least 2 more years I would think (perhaps sooner, more likely longer).
The problem would be though when the DVD-ROM drive stutters or struggles with some part (then you will probably run into problems with the svcd-mpeg itself).
I can think of a fiew other problems too, but no need to speculate now as we aren't in the age of on the fly yet.

DVD2SVCD as the name suggests is an encoding program (well front end for many programs) The way the program works currently just cannot do a copy on the fly, not ever. But a doifferent program can do it, DVD X Copy is one in development (needs lots of work still, and still VERY bets !).

One problem to overcome is that current DVD Writers cannot write encryted files to the General Purpose DVD-+R's that are available.
