    DVDShrink compression ratio LOWER LIMIT

    Does anyone know how to set the lower limit of compression in DVDShrink?

    When I compile 2 movies to fit on 1 backup disc, I often run into situations where the total size is slightly exceeding disc space, using the lowest allowable compression ratio in custom ratio.

    It seems that DVDshrink arbitarily pick a lower limit such as 41.3% or 52.1% etc. Is there a way to override it? I can't seem to find any settings controlling that.

    Currently, I deal with it by recompressing one of the two movies a second time, which of course results in very poor quality. I wonder why DVDshrink won't allow more aggressive compression settings.

    To clarify:
    A. Compress to 41.3% (lowest allowed), then compress again to 80% of the previous compressed version.
    B. Compress to 39.5%

    Method B is far less distorted and I can't seem to convince DVDshrink to allow me to.

    How many of your guys compile multi-film discs?

    As a follow-up question, how many of you guys actually compile 2 or more films onto a backup disc?

    Are you happy with the resulting quality? What are you strategies for dealing with space issue?
