Now, CloneDVD 's basic user interface is very, very clean and simple. There are no preferences available to tweak, no difficult selections on front page, etc. Just three main buttons and that's about it :-)

For our guide, we now need to select the option that says Clone DVD . Let's click it now.

Now, you should see the second screen of CloneDVD 2 to appear. It looks rather empty at first, as we haven't selected any video files yet. Now, click the
orang-y button next to the textbox that says DVD video files .
Select the ripped video files
Clicking that button opened a new file selection box. With this box, you should locate the directory where DVD Decrypter copied your video files from the DVD disc . Now, to be more precise, you need to get into that directory's sub-directory called VIDEO_TS and select that and click OK .

DVD Information

After you've done that, CloneDVD quickly analyzes the contents of the ripped DVD and shows the structure of the ripped DVD in this window. The red-yellow-green bar at the bottom of the window indicates how strongly the ripped DVD needs to be compressed in order for it to fit to a single DVDR disc. If the Quality percentage is lower than 50%, it indicates that the encoding might cause bit weak picture and in later steps, you should remove as many of the unnecessary audio and subtitle streams as possible.
Don't touch to any of the checkboxes, leave them all selected, unless you know exactly what you're doing -- after all, we're trying to make here a full copy of a DVD disc, not a copy with material removed from it. Now, simply click Next .
Audio and subtitle settings
nbsp;
On this page, I recommend that you go through every single Title listed on the left-hand side, clicking the Title number and checking its audio and subtitle streams. This is not required if you wish to keep everything as it is on the DVD, but highly recommended if the quality percentage on previous page was lower than 60% or so. If you're about to remove audio tracks, remember that each title is typically a separate entity -- normally the longest one is the main movie and the shorter ones (time is indicated in the brackets after the title number for each title) are normally extras on the disc (?nterviews, menus, trailers, etc) . As a thumb rule, if there's an audio available in the language you prefer, in format that states AC-3/6 , that's the one you should leave selected and unselect the other ones. If there's no such audio, the one you should opt to use instead is AC-3/2 . These are the very basic audio formats that DVDs use (AC-3/6 is the DD5.1 surround audio and AC-3/2 is the DD2.0 stereo audio) and that all DVD players need to support. Opting to preserve only DTS audio tracks and to remove all the other tracks might prove to be rather unwise selection, since you normally need to have a separate DTS-capable decoder or amplifier to play DTS audio at all.
Also, remember that very often the main movie (the longest playback time) has the most audio selections. It doesn't matter if you select AC-3/6 for this title and AC-3/2 for the others (in very many cases, the "others" that are normally extras found on DVDs, don't even have 5.1 audio available) , the disc will work anyway.
After you've tweaked (or left untouched) the selections on this page, click Next and we'll get to the next window.
