What's New

Version 2.4.2:

Increased maximum output size (was 4 times DL).
Fixed Mac OS X 10.7 Lion crash on edit of disk name.
Fixed missing first chapter on titles from discs made with Panasonic DVR (thanks Ron!).
Relaxed the video, audio and subtitle attributes comparison for the seamless join to only compare the essential attributes. This should solve some cases in which the seamless join of multiple discs failed.
Both letter-boxed and pan&scan representation of a widescreen DVD on a 4:3 TV is now always allowed. These video attributes are also not compared anymore for the seamless join.

I agree with many that are reporting a significantly lessor amount of functionality/reliability/stability as time goes on. It used to be a great app for condensing/compressing Video_TS Folders down to one 4.7 Disc while retaining exceptional quality. Now I cannot even get it to compress two 3.8 GB Video_TS Folders without the app continuously crashing less then midway through the process. It's to bad to because I ALWAYS relied on the app for such task and now it appears I can no longer :(

Has anyone NOT had problems with v. 2.4.2?

So first try to have DVD2One convert a DVD and it fails because of "source protected". It was the Lord of the Rings 2 part DVDs which I wanted used this to combine into a single video file.

Can't say I'll buy this as such, but I'd advise anyone else to first try it on your own to see if it's worth a steep $50.

You need to rip(unprotect) the source first using e.g. ripit, mactheripper
DVD2OneX is for remastering your (unprotected) DVD at the best quality available

All of the advice is nice, but I want to burn on a single-layer blank DVD that's approx. 4.3 GB in size. One used to be able to do that. Now one can't on many occasions. The fact is, there's no solution to what I want to do. C'est la vie.

See reply below. Roxio Popcorn or Toast should do the compression you're looking for.

Lvdoc commented on 16 Oct 2011

I've used MDRP as of late because RipIt can't seem to handle newer protection schemes. However, MDRP isn't that good, either. It give me the option of ripping either a 64GB video_ts folder (literally, 64 GB) or a 6.8 GB iso file.

I don't have any kind of dual-layer burner. I need a final video_ts folder that's roughly 4.3 GB in size. DVD2One no longer seems able to provide this for me. I wrote to the developer about this, and I was told to try the new version.

But no luck. I wasn't halfway through shrinking, and I was already past 6 GB in size. (I usually get a final product that's about 16 GB in size. Even with the previous version.)

So, are we at the end of an era here? Anyone know of any alternatives?

Thanks

It is not always possible to go from 64GB! to 4.3GB
This is a huge and unlikely compression ratio
Depending on the source it is not possible.

Robotank replied on 23 Nov 2011

If you're being offered a 64GB VIDEO_TS then something is clearly wrong, given that a retail dual-layer DVD is ~9GB. Just try ripping to ISO--sometimes ripping to ISO will succeed where straight to VIDEO_TS fails. You can simply mount the ISO (double-click it in the Finder), then open the VIDEO_TS from the mounted volume.

Rubaiyat replied on 19 Dec 2011

MDRP3 gives you several options for the RIP. Usually I just use "Full disc image" and select what I want in Handbrake. Only a BluRay should be creating 64Gb and they are not really supported on Mac.

Chris_d replied on 24 Jan 2012

The disc shows 64 GB because of the protection scheme that is used on it. It will typical show 99 titles on the disc as well, only one of which is the "correct" one. Best option on those is to either rip the disc to an ISO or extract only the main feature.

As for a way to compress down to a single-sided DVD, I think Roxio Popcorn and Toast both have those features.

It's been years since the last update and this is all they've worked on? This some kind of a joke? Also, why is the GUI still so ugly? It makes babies cry.

Okay I've tried 3 different brands of DVDs, and they all keep giving me this error: http://i.imgur.com/9kW1A.png

Tested these discs with the previous version and I get no such errors. They all burn perfectly. Hold off on this version until they fix the bugs, guys.

Here's the previous version of the app in case you guys forgot to back it up: http://min.us/mJ6md5CXs

Yeah, I know. It's been working great for me for years. This is a little disappointing. But with an update cycle of... one update every year it seems... this time a little longer... I home the issue is addressed sooner than later. =

Its been a reliable application and stable; with the exception of this upgrade. There shouldn't be update several times a year. I hope Erwin van den Berg rolls out an update soon. Hang in there.

The same thing happened to me, but after re-downloading/re-installing the app as suggested by the developer, for some reason it stopped giving me that error message now. It's working perfectly. Give it a try.

Something appears to be amiss with this new version (2.4.2). Each time I've tried to burn a disc, I'm greeted with an error that says "There is not enough free space on the inserted media. Available:0 MB Needed:4.14 GB". DVD-R's I'm using burn fine in other programs. (If you upgrade to this new version, hang on to the old one just in case you get the same error!)

It served me well on my iMac but it doesn't seem to work on my Macbook pro.
Correction, it works but you need a second optical drive.
Therefore DVD2onex is no use to me.

This app has been my go to app for compressing for a while now. It works well, but it's fairly expensive isn't it?

Aviateur reviewed on 01 Jan 2011

I agree with Beamy, it would be nice to have just a few more selections. I like to have main features, extras but I don't necessarily need all the languages or previews.

I will give an extra star to DVD2oneX for the rapidity and excellent work it does with compression. I have been using Toast Titanium until I encounter a problem with the movie "Inception" Toast could not compressed it, it kept crashing and someone recommended me DVD2oneX and it works like a charm. A bit on a high price with the lack of option but very effective. It did what it what supposed to do.
Not enough time to really make a full review, so I don't know about stability issue or other problem it may encounter.
Looking to see a newer version with more option selection.
Happy New Year, this was my discovery of late 2010.

Found file for downgrade to 2.0.6. Works again. Next time I'll go by "if it ain't broke don't fix it" or make sure I have old install file handy.

Macmed had trouble on 04 Oct 2006

When I tried to make a movie copy, it didn't allow me because "DVD2one2 can not decrypt protected data". How can I decrypt it? Thanks!

iBlink had trouble on 26 Jan 2006

I have been using DVD2oneX for some time now and never had a problem until I upgraded to the latest version. Seems that when the compression takes place something is going wrong, causing the DVD to stop playing in my DVD player. It works fine when playing the movie on my computer, but when using a regular DVD player, the video stops and then shuts down. I am then left looking at the DVD Player default screen.

I have since reverted to a previous version and all is well. Wasted a few DVD-Rs though. :-(
