Conclusion
To summarize this DVD backup review:
- Deep Analysis didn't really bring anything significant on this encode. I showed otherwise in another review, so it is likely that the gains of this feature are heavily relying on the movie encoded and/or the frames analyzed.
- The new Quality enhancements really brings quality... At a high price! 2.5x the time to encode (without DA)!
- I will never backup a DVD without Deep Analysis and Quality Enhancements.
