preview?

[kazz0817]

ok...i have 2 movies on one dvd+r (both anime) before i made the cd, both played excellent quality, after i put the 2 onto a dvd+r, the second movie played on my dvd player perfectly, but the first movie on the cd was all blocky....

if i rip the disc (which im doing now) and save as folders on hard drive with dvd shrink, then redo the second movie on one disc, im guessing its gonna turn out ok, but the first one - if i put it onto one disc will it still look the same when i play it on stand alone? or will it improve quality, i know the old saying goes garbage in garbage out, but if the original was fine until i compressed to fit another movie on my original disc, i was wondering if i can decompress, or whether simply authoring onto one disc will fix everything? i have the preview window open as im ripping it, and all the blockyness isnt showing on my pc, is there a way i can preview dvd folders without converting back to avi to view in media player?

i have ripped the second movie off my cd, using dvdshrink and saved it to my hard drive, then added the video and audio folder to tmpgenc dvd author, when i look to see if the chapters r still in place (which they are) i pressed play, the video played with perfect picture and sound, but when i burned it to a dvd there was only picture, no sound, can someone tell me what i have done wrong please? theres nothing in the audio folder but theres sound on the tmpgenc preview

problem sorted, i was testing it on my pc, no sound was a codec problem, sounds fine on my stand alone, phew im running out of space on my table for coffee coasters, so luckily thats one dvd not wasted.......they do make good frizbee's tho
