DVD9 Quality

[bobt47]

Hi
I have not had much success backing up blurays to blurays !
Can anybody tell me what kind of quality I could expect from from the DVD9 option. The films would have to be compressed from something like 24 to 32 Gb to just under 9Gb so wouldnt that result in a very poor quality film by comparision and how would it compare to a regular dual layer DVD, I dont see how it could be any better so why do it ?
Regards

Ok, well you won't get BD quality but I been using Verbatim DL's , and they are excellent. I just finished Avatar , which is almost 40 gbs, so I split the movie into two discs and even tho it read that the quality was only 38% it looks GREAT ( about 90%+), I've backed-up about 20 different BD's which were about 20gbs on a single Verbatim DL and everyone of them, the quality was excellent, way better then regular dvd movie and they only cost $1.50 /ea . Some of the older movies that were upgraded to BD don't look as nice as the newer movies, not even on the actual BD itself.......Try it , judge for your self

I've only done one Blu-Ray to DVD5(District 9) and I can tell you I was suprised at how good it still looked. Obviously not full Blu-Ray quality and some artifacting but I can attest that the PQ looks no worse than the compressed HD signals I get from broadcasters on DISH HD.
