DVD Copy Quality:
DVD burning software varies in terms of copy quality.
We document the quality of the copies produced with each sofware brand.
We determine wheter there were skips or flaws in the audio and video.
Compression:
Is the software capable of compression?
The majority of DVD movies are two layers of data (up to 9 GB). Most burners and DVD-R media are made with single layer which fits 4.5GB meaning most of a movie to be copied must be compressed to fit within that range. An option is to record to 2 DVD-R's uncompressed mode.
How effective and stable is the compression?
CSS Decryption:
Most movies released on DVD contain a Content Scrambling System (CSS) which prevents duplication.
A way around CSS is with decryption, which is a main feature of DVD burning software.
We tell you whether the decryption is built-in or whether you need to link to a free 3rd party source to obtain the decryption.
