Which gives better quality? Autofit or DvdShrink

[maxxjulie]

Is there any difference in quality between Autofit and Dvdshrink? Any opinions would help. I don't have time to test out each one. Thanks.

I'll try.
The DVD Shrink option can only be used after your files are converted to MPEG2 or MPEG1 if you use those. It will kick in if your DVD folder is too big to fit on a DVD. The autofit feature is used during the conversion to MPEG of your avi files. Therefore, the autofit feature is better. You only do one conversion with autofit whereas the Shrink wil be two conversions, sort of. Hope you understand this!

It would also depend on your final output size. As a rule, it is always better to use an encoder (autofit) to do the job than a transcoder (DVDShrink).

For long shows I set S2D for DL no autofit. Then in DVDShrink I split the file into 2 dvd's. I think this gives the best picture possible.

I've always used Autofit and have always been pleased with picture quality. I tried it with Shrink and found it to be a little worse so it seems you guys are right. I'll stick with Autofit. Thanks.
