dvdshrink whats the limit until you see artifacts??

[kenmasters83]

i know alot of people use dvdshrink what is you favorite comrpession setting until you feel the quality has dropped or flies start to show up..

on home movies 20% comrpession is the limit for me..

what is everyone else's is it 10% 20% or 30%??

Depends on the source and the viewing device.

For me, the 60% setting is generally the lowest I'll go. For cartoons with the Maximum Smoothness setting on, I can go lower.

For me....a minimum of 20% compression.

Whatever it takes to squeeze it onto a DVD5. If a full backup takes me down below 70% for the main title (after maxing compression for menus and extras), I settle for movie only.

I got rose red 2-dual layer dvds onto one dvd5 at 44% compression and it looked ok,some moving scenes twitched a bit but it was good enough for me.

but it was good enough for me.

I think that answers the question, whatever is 'good enough' for you.

Didn't we just have this thread like 2 weeks ago? bugster has the best answer, IMO.

So its about due again. Every two weeks or so is about right for how often we get this question.
