To drakesis:
You review is right on the money in that FairUse Wizard dominates! However, you're really wasting a step + 50 minutes + quality by using DVDShrink before using FairUse Wizard. I highly recommend that you (and anyone else who comes along and reads this) pass on that step in the future as it is not only unnecessary, but can and probably does result in slightly lower quality.
Why?
Because the conversion from DVD to DivX/XviD is lossy compression, as is using DVDShrink to compress the MPEG2 streams. What this means in simplest terms is that you are compressing (FairUse) an already compressed image (DVDShrink) thus loosing quality on what you would wind up with if you skipped the DVDShrink step entirely.
By all means pop your DVD in, fire up FairUse Wizard and copy straight from disc. |
