how much full quality on dvd

**rsquirell** · 6 Feb 2004, 05:48 AM

Just exactly what do you consider full quality? Are you ripping a DVD with shrink at no compression (a level 4, 20% compression is hard to tell from the original), are you trying to burn an MPEG2 made from a high quality DV Camera, have downloaded a HDTV file? You should be able to get a 2 hour movie on a DVD with very little compression unless...

Their normal dvd's which i'am backing up and I'am using re-author to keep just the film. After using re-author the file size is 5,124 MB but the length of the film is only 01h 20m 45s. I\am sure when I first started using dvd shrink a month ago I could get about 1 hour 50 min with no compression from a dvd film.
please help.
regards gaz.

Firstly, If you are wanting better video quality of movie which are to be compressed, update to DVDShrink v. 3. 0 Beta 5 and also v. 3.1.4 ?.

Not much of a learning curve if you visit the easy to understand tutorial @ dvdshrink.info (ddlooping's guide). You'll be 'Shrinking with better quality if you check the deep analysis option with these versions (takes longer but better video quality).

Advice is to practice with v. 3. 0 Beta 5 as some learn v. 3.1.4 easier that way.

Lastly, the length of the movie has little to do with the size on store-bought dvd movies as newer movies of only 1 1/2 hours are sometimes 5.5 Gig.s

With the deep analysis, there is very little difference in 'Shrink results and original. Version 3.1.4. is slightly better than 3. 0 Beta 5, so why I said "practice", earlier.
