    DVD9 = improved movie quality?

    I just finished ripping Heat onto a DVD+R DL. However, it still didn't look original DVD quality. The original compression was about 36% or something like that using DVD5 while it was 0% using DVD9. If copying a DVD onto a dual layered DVD takes usually no compression, shouldn't quality be the same as the original source? And I do Movie Only.

    When ripping, in a quality drop-down (bottom of the window), make sure it selected DVD9.

      What media did you use?

      Using inexpensive media (read cheap) can cause problems if your playback unit doesn't 'like' that media brand... (what your burner wrote may not be entirely picked up by the playback unit, causing picture degradation on playback...)

        Yes, DVD9 was selected.

          I used Fuji DVD+R DL. I normally used Fuji DVD-R for my previous burns but I thought I'd try the dual layer discs.

            Is the main reason people go with dual layered DVDs because they don't have to shrink any ripped movies down?

              Please download either Nero Disc Speed 5 or VSO Inspector (both freebies) and advise what they tell you is the Media I.D. for those Fuji discs...

              Thanx

                    You are using an outdated version of Imgburn....

                      For max. picture and sound reproduction, you're always safe going with the best, which for DL DVD+R is Verbatim, MIS (Made In Singapore).

                      The Fuji's you are using were made by Ritek, and while fine for data writes (Word files, Excel sheets, etc.) they're not your best choice for video work.

                      For some time now, I've been using Taiyo Yuden for SL writes, and Verbatim for DL writes, have never generated a coaster, and have never experienced any quality (picture & sound) problems.

                      What you ultimately end up using is your business (best we can do is recommend), but it already sounds like you're not happy with Fuji...

                        I've installed the newest version of Imgburn and reburned. Still the same issue. I haven't had many coasters with Fuji DVDs but I will consider the brands that you have mentioned.

                          You may also want to try slowing your burn speed down to 1/2 the rated speed of the media you are using to see if that makes a difference

                          Even if it's a little thing, do something for those who have need of help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.

                            When I go and watch a DVD-9 movie, what will the layer break look like? Does it pause or what?

                              If it does pause... pixel up... freeze... etc. then I think it's time to stop considering recommendations and start acting upon them... I use Verbatim DL DVDs and unless I knew where the layer break was, I'd never be able to detect it by just watching...
