yes, you could very much do FULL UNCOMPRESSED dvd backups using DL media (dvd9) without having to use dvd shrink~ :)
if you are considering that route, i strongly suggest you get the Verbatim (made in singapore on the wrapper) DVD+R DLs~ they are simply the best DVD9 media available at this point in time...i've also had a lot of success with Ridata Ritek DVD+R DLs, but others on here have not been so lucky~ :)
also, i use DVD Decrypter..ISO READ--ISO WRITE for my DL (dvd9) backups...i've found the program to be quite good/effective on my now 200+ backups on DVD+R DL (dvd9) media~

also CloneDVD 2 with AnyDVD is a great program ,you will need AnyDVD with DVD Decrypter if your going to do the newer movies anyway. CloneDVD 2 and AnyDVD have a free 21 day trial and DVD Decrypter is freeware you can download the program from this link and use the guides
remember the DL media(DVD-9) is going to run you at least 2 bucks a dvd if you can find it on sale where as the SL(DVD-5) is going to be about 30 to 40 cents each so something to consider
There's lots of DVD-5 originals out there.Napoleon Dynamite and SuperCross comes to my mind as dvd-5s.
Usually the cheaper "B" movies. No scence in using dl media for a DVD-5 original.
You can use DVD Shrink to tell you if it's a DVD-5 or DVD-9. Let it analyze and open up the movie files. Look at the compression tab.If it says 100,then it's a DVD-5. When I encounter a DVD-5,simple dvd decypter mode ISO read and ISO write will do the job quicker.That mode is for non-compressed/1:1 copy using DVD-5 to DVD-5 or DVD-9 to DVD-9.
On dvd-9's,DVD Shrink will give you 50-80,meaning they will have to be compressed or backup main movie only.To interpret those numbers,80 means the backup will be compressed at 20%.
I take out the extra crap like: Languages/director's commentary/bonus footage/and anything else i can and most of my single layer backups at at 100%-no compression.DVD Shrink can take out all that stuff to help get compression to a minimum.The AEC enhancements are also sweet in case you want all the extra stuff left in.
