any loss of quality when ripping w/DVDDecryptor & ifoedi

[Quadzilla]

Hi,
I used a guide (sorry, dont have link) to backup "Finding Nemo", wanted to strip all the extras and just have the movie on 1 DVDR. The guide used DVDDecryptor to select the main movie(I selected the 1:40 version w/out commentary) and IFOEdit to select the main movie .vobs(?). I then used Nero to burn to another DVDR. Should the video quality be the same as original w/this method or should I expect a loss? It looks great but on some parts the colors don't seem as vibrant and maybe a little less detail than I recall on the original. Unfortunately, a friend has my original so I cant do a comparison right now. Thanks!

Well there's no way you did what you just described, since the original movie is over 4.5 GB. You must have compressed it SOMEHOW to get it to fit.

Is your friends name Ned Flix?

Now now, be nice to the newbies. His friend's name might, in fact, be Holly Wood (Video).

Hey guys, what happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?

Quadzilla, if you did not compress the movie, the copy should be identical to the original in terms of quality.

dvd decrypter,movie only,then dvd2one,to select the audio and remove the unwanted ones,and it was less than 4.29gig,and was perfect in quality.

Uhh... hold on.

(Gurm goes, pulls out his Finding Nemo DVD, and fires up DVD Shrink...)

Weird, there's two titles for the movie, one is 1:40 and the other is 2:16. Hrm...

The 1:40 one will fit (barely) without compression. My bad.

Thanks for the info. The steps I followed were at http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/ifoedit-menustripping.htm.
It says at the beginning that the original quality is kept but one step says to keep VOB size at 1 gig, does that mean the VOB (along W/Video) would be compressed down to 1 Gig if it exceeded 1 gig?
thx.

Finding Nemo has two complete versions (anamorphic widescreen and full frame 4:3) on a single DVD-9, along with the menu, languages, etc. I ripped each version (movie only, no menus or extras) to separate DVD-R's at 100% quality. Many Disney DVD's are set up that way.
