40% compressing?

[jerryv]

Hello everybody,
I have a quistion....
I use dvdshrink to copy dvd's and it works perfect!
But when i backup Harry Potter 2, i must compress the mainmovie whit 40%
Now i was wondering if this is still word it, the quility from the movie i mean.
I want good kwality (kwaliteit) and i dont want it to look like VHS.
So is 40% still acceptebel or is this a too big compressing level?

Thank you for the possible reactions...

I backed this up myself using DVDshrink. The qaulity was noticeably different from the original, but still better than some professionally produced discs.

Thoroughly watchable on my 32" TV, but it would be worth making a 2 disc version if you'll be watching the back-up often.

jerryv,

Just do it but burn the resulting files onto a DVD+-RW, depending on what you have. If you don't like the quality, just erase it a find something else.

Only you can be the judge of what's good enough for you.
