Compression

[pantherman85]

I am wondering at what point do you notice a change in quality when you compress a movie in order to fit on onto a single layer disc. I have compared copies of movies that compressed at 60% quality and compared them with the originals without being able to see any noticeable flaws. Why is this? Shouldn't I see some loss of quality in the picture when i am compressing a movie?

It depends on what you're are watching them on and how particular you are. I don't go below 70%. BTW, this subject has been discussed many, many times here. Do a forum search.

I had trouble searching for it. And I am really interested in hearing more about this so if you can post me a link to discussions on this that would be great.
