AVS DVD Copy - Copy Modes
There are three main modes used to copy a video DVD onto the other one:
Copy the entire DVD
Copy DVD without extras
Copy only main movie
ENTIRE DVD
with menus and extras |
Use this button to copy the source DVD with all its structure - main movie, menus and extras - onto the other DVD. If the size of the source DVD is bigger than that of the target DVD, the video will be recompressed retaining the structure of the original DVD. |
WITHOUT EXTRAS
extras will be removed |
Use this button to copy the source DVD and its structure onto the other DVD. Although the structure will be retained, the extras will be removed and will become unavailable from the DVD menu. At the same time this can enhance the main movie quality in case the recompression is needed as sometimes extras occupy quite a considerable part of the video DVD. |
ONLY MOVIE
copy only the movie |
Use this button to copy only the main DVD movie onto the target DVD. The DVD will be remastered and all the menus and extras will be removed in order to prevent the movie from being too much compressed. It is very helpful if you prefer to have the main movie in a better quality and would like to get rid of the extras or if the extras contain commercials and trailers mainly. |
The selected mode will be marked with the 
sign.
Depending on your needs and the input and the output disc size you can select the mode that will suit better. For instance, if you would like to save a DVD-9 onto one DVD-5 disc, you will need to recompress it so that it could fit the lesser capacity disc. If you do not need all the menus and extra materials 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.
