DVDR with or without compression

[djgazzabhoy]

Hey guys , just a quick question here , i like to add multiple titles to my dvds i create and they usually end up a little bit over a dvd-5 , I was just wondering is it best to lower the bitrate and make it fit a dvd5 disc , or is there better quality from compressing in dvdshrink with the AEC maximum smoothness options ect.??

thanks

It's always better to use the right bitrate to make your video fit on the DVD in the first place. If you've already built the VIDEO_TS structure and only need to shrink a little bit, DVD Shrink is fast and acceptable.

If we are talking about just a few tens of MB over DVD-5, then you probably wont notice any quality loss if you used DVD Shrink.
