dvd players do not play mpeg4 only mpeg2 and sometimes mpeg1.

the reason you can not backup the full dvd and keep the full quality is because movies are dvd9 witch holds about 9 gigabytes and right now burners can only burn dvd5 witch holds about 4.38 gigabytes. because of this quality is redused when you back up a dvd

so the only way to backup the full dvd and keep full quality is too wait for dvd9 burners they should be coming out soon but will be very expensive.

also depending on your set up you may not even be able to notice the loss of quality. when i burnt freddy vs. jason i copied the full dvd and did not see any difference
