DVDShrink - what's the "Compressed Video" # mean?

[Shudder]

When it's doing its analyzation, it kept going around 50-something%, low 60s..

What exactly does this mean? Does it mean that it can probably be compressed to 60% without really noticing any video degradation? I couldn't really find an answer, but maybe I'm just slow.

And would 60% compression really be that bad? I used about that much on another dvd and so far it didn't look bad at all.

Thats just dvdshrink testing the video,if you do a shrink of a dvd that doesnt need much or any shrinking at all you will still see the same type of percentage readings.

But even if space wise it's fine.. does that number still mean it could be compressed to that level with no real issues (not that I'd do it with a 4 gig movie obviously)
