Are you "Re-authoring" the main movie only? - http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=46607

Also use the "Set Start/End Frames" feature of DVD Shrink to reduce the amount of compression used by eliminating unneeded additional video. - http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=47260

hrtbeat2 ,
The only way to do a movie w/ no compression is to either do it as a dual layer or lacking that burner do the DVD and put it on 2 disks.

As JMet suggests -- assuming the original is on a DVD9 disc which has two layers -- you can sometimes achieve 100% (no compression) by dropping all of the extras, all menus, and some of the audio tracks and subtitles that you think you will never need. I have come across a few discs where the "main movie" could be backed up with no compression, after losing what you do not want. It depends on how much of the space on that disc was used for the main movie, and how much was used for all of the extras. In some cases, there are people who go further -- they will preview the main movie, and if there are introductory warnings they delete these. Examples include the various copywrite notices, FBI warnings, or the brief "product awareness" clips that tell you the production studio, or studios (the film clips that tell you this was a Miramax film, followed by another that tells you it was distributed by Imagine, perhaps followed by a boy fishing with a pole, telling you it is a SKG Production, etc., ad nauseum). There are others who also are willing to delete the closing credits, and on some films this can have a huge impact.

I just split to two discs, myself... but, most prefer not to.

Other than Magic DVD Ripper, what do y'all use to split the moview into 2 discs? As in extras, menu, first part of movie on disc 1, and the rest of movie on disc 2?

In all honesty, I have never wanted to split a movie to 2 single layer disc. All I want is the movie, not all of the previews and extras and all of that stuff. Honestly, how many times do people watch the "Extras"? Once, maybe twice?

Cobrajet,
You can use Shrink to do movie on 1 disk and everything else on the other disk. You just make what you do not want a still picture the first time or do movie only and then on 2nd disk reverse that and make movie a still and record the rest

I use the following tools:

1.) I use either DVDShrink or DVDDecrypter to rip to hard drive, with no compression; if using DVDShrink, ignore the error that this project will be too big to fit.

2.)I use VOBBlanker to split things out to two new folders, with no compression;
-Folder one has the first part of the main movie, with all audio tracks, and the menus; on a few discs, this first folder can contain the entire main movie, now that the extras are gone. If it does not, I break the main movie at a chapter break.
-Folder two has the last part of the main movie, again with all audio tracks, and the menus; it also has all of the extras;

3.) Then I use Nero Burning Rom (any burning tool will do) to burn each of these two folders back to two blank single layer DVDs.

There are also other options, using other software, that can produce the same results.

I use CloneDVD to split, it is especially versatile in the re-authoring department. You can split your disks and retain fully functional menus on both disks, without having to insert still images. It works out great for TV series disks you will have no compression and still retain menus.
