Other DVD 5 to a DVD 9..better quality?

[ganthor]

If I change a DVD 5 to a DVD 9...will this improve the quality of the contents of the DVD?

No you'll just waste one layer of the dual layer DVD-9 disc.

Better DVD quality?

Then why does DVD Fab have this feature?

[90312]

I've never seen that feature, can you be more specific please. Is it DVD Copy or Ripper or what?

[ganthor]

Better DVD quality?

It's DVD Copy 8. Thanks for your answers so far.

Oh if you mean opening a single layer disc and the selecting DVD-9 in the output quality box, that won't change anything. There won't be any compression either way and the file size will be the same.

If the original DVD is a retail dual layer DVD then the quality will be better if backed up to a DVD9 than a DVD5. I think that's what you were asking, right?

The original DVD is a standard "5" DVD. So it sounds like even if I do make it a 9, it won't change anything for a better picture. I guess once a 5 always a 5? Thank you for you answers.

You are stuck with the original authoring on the disc. DVDFab can't upscale it.
