Playback picture quality

[FrankC]

I have just put 2 TV movies onto one disk. Total playing time 337 minutes.

I first of all used DVDShrink on both disks then imported them into DVDLab to include a menu , compiled the disk then burnt with NERO. Although the menu functions well and both titles appear to play OK the quality of the picture is not as good as the original.

Have I tried to pack too much onto one disk ?, should I have burnt directly to the disk ?. or is there some other reason. Could it be a rubbish telly.

The disks are RITEK GO5 .

Cheers

what was the compression? if too much you may want to use dvd-rb before you burn to your disc

[FrankC]

I'm afraid I have no idea what the compression was I just set it at Automatic.

I normally rely on the software to kniow better than I what it's doing.

you can load in to shrink and see what is the compresion

[FrankC]

I have just put the disk in the drive and pressed OPEN DISC it says 99.8% is that good or bad ?

not the disc, the orignal file before the disc

[FrankC]

I'm afraid I have already deleted the original files shrunk by DVDshrink, I didn't think I'd need them again. Being optomistic, as the disc seemed to burn OK I assumed all was fine and dandy. I sleep on it now anyway as it's approaching 0200 hrs.
