Best way to burn quality dvdr's?

[jyeh74]

I am using DVD Shrink 3.1 and when I burn movies, it says compression is around 56%. I am not sure what that means. I am guessing the lower the number (closer to 0%), the better the quality?
I noticed that the burned dvdr quality isnt AS GOOD as the original? How can you make it close to the same quality of the original?

no, the closer you get to 0% the worse the quality is. so 100% would be no compression at all. you can make the quality of the main movie better by reducing the quality of the menus as much as possible, and compress the extras as much as possible or compress them to still pics.

With DVD-9s, you are inevitably going to lose some quality. The trick, as is the case with all MPEG encoding, is to make the loss of quality transparent.

Your best bet is to reauthor the discs, remove all the extras and menus, and any audio/subtitle streams you never use. That way, you'll always have the highest amount of disc space for the film itself.
