How to choose proper copy mode?

There are four copy modes for you to choose:

The entire disc

This mode will keep all the things of the original DVD, such as menus, trailers and special features, and so on. If you want to get the same content as the original DVD, you should choose this mode. Nowadays, most commercial DVD movies are larger than 4.7GB. If you want to copy it onto a 4.7GB blank DVD, you need shrink it. And our program will prompt you to shrink it or not automatically, then you should click "yes". But doing this will lose some quality, usually the quality is near perfect. Otherwise you should click "no" to copy the entire DVD to a 8.5GB blank DVD without any loss of quality.

Only the main movie

This mode will only copy the main movie, excluding unwanted audios and subtitles. If you want to copy your DVD movie to only one 4.7GB blank DVD and get higher quality as possible, you should choose this mode. Some main movies are still larger than 4.7GB, in such case, you need shrink it. Please click "yes" when our program prompt you to shrink it or not.

Split to two DVD5 (4.7GB) discs

This mode will copy the beginning of main movie, menus and extras on disc 1, the rest of main movie on disc 2. If you want to copy your DVD movie to 4.7GB blank DVDs and want to keep the same quality as the original DVD, you should choose this mode.

Selected episodes

This mode is used for episodic DVDs or TV Show DVDs. On that kind of DVD, there are usually several long titles which nearly have the same playback time and each title is for an episode. This copy mode allows you to choose any episodes you wanted to copy at one time. Comparing with "only the main movie" mode, this copy mode is more convenient for you to burn multiple episodes to a disc, since "main movie" mode only allows you to copy one episode at one time.
