compression ratio

[TheBurger]

When compressing a DVD on the HD most films will need level 8 comression on DVD Shrink.

Is the picture quality going to be really poor.

Thanks

Depends on what you call poor. It will likely have the quality similar to that of a vhs.

you will find by using dvd_shrink that it will make the menus compression higher than movie,,,level 8 will still compress movie but its still better than vhs and cheaper than dvd,,,,,,
if ya worried about quality rip dvd movie only,,then ya fit on cdr\+r without compression

Good God, no don't use level 8 compression. Bleah.

Just put the extras on another disc...

You might want to give CloneDVD a shot.

If you are going to use 2 discs you might as well use dvd x copy and keep dvd quality.
