Intervideo DVD Copy

[vindiou]

I am currently evaluating the trial version of Intervideo DVDCopy
(1.2b001.16c00)

On their website it says that it can copy a 9.4 gb dvd to a 4.7 without
loss of quality or content so i was hoping to try that.

Anyways I chose the source dvd rom and output on my "e:" disk drive,
it seems to copy everything fine but immediately after it finishes
copying (after vob file analysis), the files get deleted!

By the way, my "temp files folder" (c:\temp) is different from my
output forder (e:\videos)

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Thank you!

Probably deletes em cos its a trial

Sounds likea load of Blx If I chop 6 inches of your arm it wont be as long as it was.Compress & U lose quality but its a matter for each individual as to what is acceptable in quality.

Have a look at the tutorials on this forum <> better ways of doing it than this!!

I'm afraid I don't have the answer to your question, but I have also been evaluating the program based on this review http://dvd.box.sk/articles7.php , and exactly the same thing happened to me. Tried Intervideo's web site but couldn't find any answers there. I was able to recover the files with Norton Unerase Wizard. Perhaps you could do the same.

I have also used InterVideo both version 1 and 1.2(currently using). I find it very useful; sometimes better than DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink; as it can copy 'problem or damaged discs' more effectively.

The program is defaulted to delete the copied files from the hard disk once it burnt the data to the DVD-R. However, if you wish to keep the DVD files, you can choose to copy the files to your hard disk (instead of to the DVD writer drive). You can then burn the files to as many DVD-Rs as you like.

A problem is that it will not copy DVD files from copy-protected (or original) DVDs (may be due to legal issues).You have to use other rippers to copy the files first and then use InterVideo to either split the DVD-9 discs to 2 discs or shrink the data into 1 disc. Just choose the files from your hard disc instead of from the DVD Rom.

One more point! The other guys are right. You cannot get a 100% copy after a disc has been shrinked.
In fact, I use the program myself mainly to split the DVD-9s to two discs(I find the program does a good job for this). For more flexibility with shrinking, i would use DVDShrink.

Hope this helps, found it at doom9.

dvd copy
After transcoding your dvd to HD intervideo dvd copy is going to parse the files (takes about 4 minutes)in those 4 minutes you select all files and make them read only. when dvdcopy is done the files are not gone.

Perfect DVD9 to DVD5 Copys ???

Dvd.box.sk is making a series of tests/reviews to find the best tool for backing-up DVD9's. So far they reached the best results with Intervideo DVDCopy v1.2. They managed to make a copy of Matrix (PAL) with almost no loss in quality, quite impressive.

Read the Intervideo DVDCopy 1.2 Quality http://dvd.box.sk/articles7.php
Go here to see more transcoder tests with different software: http://dvd.box.sk/index.php?pid=home&prj=main

Just found this bit of info for Intervideo DVD Copy:

There are some strange things in the test.
http://dvd.box.sk/dvdr/img/art6/
When you compare for example sklad_dvdc.jpg and sklad_orig.jpg(Intervideo DVD COPY v1.2 test), files are exact same.
I don't think difference in view, but in binary compare.
Result=====>orginal and transcoded file are only renamed to another name.
In all tests(directory art1-art6) sizes of original and final files are different in kb(kilobytes), except sizes of Intervideo DVDCopy. There is only a small difference in bytes or exact same file(difference in head of file=different time...)!!!???!!!
It's suspicious. Maybe fake test!!!!

Just tried Intervideo DVD Copy on Matrix (full disk) and I personally did not like what I saw. There were macroblocks and the film seemed to have warble or wave like movement in certain scenes. My personal opinion would be Pinnacle Instantcopy for this full disk backup if you`re going to use a transcoder program.
