Direct Dvd Copy

[TheBurger]

This is my first message on the board.

We have just got a pioneer A05 at work and want to be able to copy DVD films and PS2 games.

I have got the full version of the latest Nero. DVD shrink.

Subject to the film being under 4.7gig why can you not just do a direct copy. Why does every say rip to HD first.

I would assume that DVD x copy 2 disc thing is only if the film is bigger than 4.7gig. This would be great for larger films 6 gig and above.

Is the average film over 4.7 gig.

Is the loss of quality during compression great.

Thanks in advance.
