DVD re-encoding software

Well I have heard good things about DVDRemaster but I just use Toast which does an excellent job for compressing and burning to disk after using MTR.

 

Once I get a disk ripped to my hard drive, I use DVD2OneX. It will compress the movie to fit on a single DVD. It also does feature-only disks. Great program, but it's not free. I believe Roxio Popcorn also works well.

 

I use Toast for my Macbook. I too use AnyDVD and CloneDVD2 for my pc and I love these programs, they work awesome. I wish they would port these to the Mac.

 

I agree. Use MacTheRipper to rip it, then use DVD2OneX to make it fit Single Layer DVD.

 

1. MacTheRipper 3 to rip DVDs.
2. Handbrake if I want to encode them in a standard format (e.g. .mp4)
3. Toast Titanium if I want to burn them to another DVD.

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you want to fit a ripped movie to a single-layer DVD, Toast Titanium will not do that. It will encode the video for DVD, but it won't compress it. You need Popcorn or DVD2OneX.
