Does Clonedvd 2 have feature like advanced analysis in Shrink & Nero Recode?

Have been getting errors with Recode 2 that, according to other users, have been pretty common with latest version. Though I like the speed with which Recode encodes, using the Slow Encoding/Advanced Analysis - and the quality is great WHEN it actually works - I don't like the amount of coasters I've been getting lately (lots of backups, on standalone players, will play fbi warnings, then stop. If you play again, then movie actually starts... but any glitchiness with backups annoys me to no end)

DVD Shrink is more stable and reliable and I still use it, even though backing up using Advanced Analysis takes SOOOOO long.....

I've read a few reviews that state how impressive the quality AND speed is with Clonedvd2 - so I downloaded trial version, but I don't see any feature like 'advanced analysis' or 'slow encoding' or anything like that.
Does it automatically backup using highest quality setting or is there something I need to select that I'm not seeing...?

Any help/feedback on the program would be greatly appreciated, thanks...!

Okay, just did a test burn with Clonedvd2 and have to say quality does not compare with Shrink/Recode in Advanced Analysis/Slow Encoding mode, I can totally see the compression whereas in Shrink & Recode compression isn't visible - so I hope there is a high quality mode that I missed.
Anyone?

I am using CloneDVD3 and god it takes forever to make a copy! I'm at almost an hour now and its only @ 60% Am i doing something wrong? DVD Shrink only takes like 20min rip, 15 to burn(nero)

Sorry I'm not any help, but I didnt want to start a new thread

to Cybertron: Well, DUH!

Clone DVD 3 is NOT an Elby product... you're using awfully expensive inferior software, made by Chinese hackers.

...

And yes, jakobkraft, DVDShrink is still better at this game, as long as you use Deep Analysis... I don't understand why people don't use this feature by default. It doesn't take THAT long...

I tried Pinnacle Instant DVD, Clone DVD 2 and DVD Shrink 3.20, and the free software is by far much better and free of artifacts, as opposed to the other two.

OMG! your right! I didnt even realize there was a difference, of course i was "borrowing" a copy from newsgroups so i didnt know it was more expensive :p

So DVDShrink is still the best way to do this? and burn with nero or whatever you choose?

Also.... At one point i made a copy of Manchurian Candidate and at the end of the movie it started skipping, any idea what that could have been? (I dont think i used deep analyze)

Warped or bad quality disc. I don't think the lack of Deep Analysis is the culprit here. But like in my previous post, I recommend always using Deep Analysis.
