DVD files that are compressed..

[noob with an RS 10+ year member]

hey this is a question for u DVD burning fanatics. ok i just rented batman begins my all-time favorite movie of the millenium and used DVD shrink to copy it to my hard-drive. i used the re-author function and only copied the main movie to make sure it didnt burn any menu items or extras or stuff like that. because i wanted the video to not be so compressed. well after doing all that the video is compressed 62%. i guess because the movie is pretty long so it had to compress it that much to fit on DVD. what im wondering is is this gonna be a big difference in quality between no compression at all (100%)???

No. The movie needed to downsize due to the length and video quality.

Unless you are running a full digital setup, you wont notice it. What player and TV are you using? What cable? As of yet there are no true HD recorded movies being released.

If you want the full thing to fit. Pick up a dual layer burner and discs.

It won't make a difference, but you could jump back over and turn off all the unnecessary languages too to make it a little higher.
