For zone, no it is not necessary to let user set it. But could be nice.
But this will not be active at the beginning. I have juste keep in mind
all that could be nice for future.
For encryption, it is simply to keep/remove the CSS from dvd. Same, at
beginning it is not necessary, just nice option in future.
Same for ISO image of an existing DVD, not necessary at first but could be
nice.
The main goal is to have the necessary functions be ok. (Titles selection,
language, subtitles, ripping, burning ...)
But I let some options (in first time they will not be active) that could
be nice for future.

As I say, dvdshrink is a win32 software very used to backup DVD to DVD-R
simply, divo would be able to done the same.
I have used dvdshrink and talk about gdivo to some people at work that
have dvd writers (approximatively 10 persons). All are under Windows,
unless one with dual boot (we are at HP French Workstation and Desktops
support).
They all use dvdshrink for dvd backup. In my case I done sometimes
dvdshrink on win32 and putting files on USB hdd, burning the ISOs with
cdrecord.

Why talking about dvdshrink ? because it is simple and nice, and doing all
necessary. So gdivo must do the same and better. Talking with other users
I have done the Gdivo main interface, avoiding the non necessary functions
of dvdshrink and adding great tools (automatic selection of main title,
language and subtitle, the Quick Backup button ...) and keeping for future
the 'funny' functions that could be helpful options in some case (need to
test again dvdrwtools with my Pioneer, but last time there was some
problems, this is what letting iso option could be nice as cdrecord burn
dvd as iso).
As this, we could have a software more useful than the ones avalaible
under win32. And this is a great goal I think, don't you ?

I will see. In first time, will done to have the interface being
operating. For this I will be help by some people I know, if we have
problems for some functions about retrieving informations, I will talk
about to you.
