Naturally, I would agree with you. However, If your source dvd is a dual layer (most are) at 7.9GB, you *can't* copy it to current dvd+/-r's as they are single layer, 4.7GB. The quality loss is noticeable. When I wrote dvd9to5, I made the decision to go for quality as opposed to quantity until such time as dual-layer burners are cheap <$250/<$2. I suspect windows apps that copy everything over are halving the resolution, down-muxing the audio to stereo, or something similar. Hell, most of the time the movie alone, with _no_ audio is ~4.5GB. They gotta make cuts somewhere. I think a lot of developers are holding off on investing a lot of energy into compressing the whole dvd to 4.7GB, cause they see dual-layer burners on the horizon. So why not wait? ah, well, that's my 2cents. Cooper. -- [email protected] mailing list
