Having a little difficulty getting my compression above 68. No matter what I do with menus, extras, and sub titles, the best I can get is 68, the average is about 61. What does it take to get a better compression?

Thank you

The compression level you can get varies on each DVD. Some you may have to look at re-authoring movie only to get what you regard as a decent compression level. Others (particularly episode discs) can be best split to two discs (this guide might help) to achieve same.

Can you post a screenshot from DVDShrink ?

Thank you for the reply. I can not see much if any difference in my originals and backups at 60. Will the quality of the backups degrade quicker at this compression level?

I think you answered your own question

quality of the backups doesn't degrade over time or the amount of times you watch it - it's a digital copy.

Ok. Thanks again.
