Clone vs Full Disc

[Scoop]

I have been using DVDFab ("copy") for several months and it's working great. I've only been using the "Full disc", "split", and "custom split" copy modes for my copying needs.

I'm not understanding the purpose for the "Clone" option as compared to the "full disc" option.

What is the difference between cloning a DVD and using the "full disc" copy, assuming that the 1:1 copy option is always selected with the "full disc" mode (as in always insuring a non-compressed copy with a 100% "quality" #)?

I looked at the "clone" option and I noticed that there are 2 check-boxes within the "clone" option:

1) "Copy DVD-Video Data Only"
2) "Copy Original IFO Files".

I don't know what that's referring to as I'm a novice in this hobby but I'm guessing that the main difference between the "clone" and the "full disc" options is the options above within the "clone" mode.

"Full Disc" means all Titles on the disc are copied, but they may be compressed. It is not a bit-for-bit copy like Clone mode, which cannot be compressed and requires a disc the same size as the one you are copying.
