Copying DVD-9
It happens quite often that you need to backup your double-layer DVD (so called DVD-9 ) onto one
single layer DVD (known as DVD-5 ). As a matter of fact, you will need to recompress it so that it
could fit the lesser capacity disc. The quality of the video could deteriorate in this case, so you will
need to decide what you need more - the best available quality or all the materials on the disc. There
is one more way out: you can take a double-layer DVD to record the video onto it, and the program
will suggest such an option:
You will see the disc full size in the upper part of the window and will have two options:
Use a standard DVD - use this option to reconvert the input DVD and shrink it so that it will
fit the output DVD-5 . It is recommended to use this option if your DVD-drive does not
support writing onto double-layer DVDs or if you do not have a double-layer DVD available.
See below to find out how you can improve the output video quality if you record onto a
standard DVD.
Use a double-layer DVD - use this option if you have a possibility to record the input DVD
onto a double-layer output DVD. The disc will be simply copied without any recompression and
thus any quality loss.
Some tips when copying DVD-9 onto a single DVD-5 :
If you do not need all the menus and extras 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.
