- DVDShrink - What do you find an acceptable ratio?
- Posted by georgiarose on October 1st, 2003
Hi all,
Yet another DVDShrink question.
Wherever possible, I try to ensure a 100% ratio (or at least high 90's) on
the main movie, however I am wondering what everyone's opinion is in terms
of what is the lowest ratio which still achieves acceptable results. I only
have a 68cm TV so I've found that even around 80% ratio produces only a very
minor loss in quality. Naturally, there will be many variables which affect
the final result, but I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts on what ratios they
will never drop below.
Cheers
Peter

satisfying results from combining the two LOTR FOTR EE disc onto one. That
was 11GB (minus the commentaries) down to 4.38GB (compressed by 60%). I am
using v3 b5 and deep analysis.
If the bitrate is high then the copy's birate will be still high.
If needed, and I wanrt optimium quality. I am prepared to wait hours for a
CCE version of the film. I will do this with Matrix Reloaded.

CCE?

Cinema Craft Encoder. It encodes the DVD rather than compression like
DVD2one or Shrink. Another program will be needed to make it work like
DVD2DVDR as CCE is only the encoder.

Cinemacraft's 4-pass 3750 VBR encoding is virtualy indistinguishable
from orginal. At this bit rate, one DVD-R can hold upto 2:23
D1 mpg-2 video. 3 hour 3000 VBR half-D1 mpg-2 has less compression
artifacts than a 6GB DVD shrunk to one disc by DVDXCopy.
Rule of thumb - if you are reducing more than 90%, better quality
is available with a multi-pass VBR full re-encode.
