Trying to decide if should keep extras on some movies or get rid of them, what would you say is the minimum percentage I could get away with for quality. I do use Nero with AEC turned on both for analyzing and the default setting of sharp for a higher quality backup. Or should I just hose them seems like most of the features are worthless anyway except for deleted scenes lol!

I like doing full disc basckups too. But I now rip the entire disc with VOBB to blank out everything I don't need (trust me it adds up) to cut down the compression rate in Shrink.

Anyway, if it's below 60%, AND I really like the movie, I'll just use a DL. If not, then I'll still go with it on DVD5. So to answer the question, I guess 55-60% is the cut off.

Yeah 55% to 60% is real good if you playing the movie on a Big Screen TV.

i use clonedvd2 from slysoft and it goes from red to yellow to green, if its not in the green i wont burn it with all the crap usually i just preserve menus and the movie only so i can skip to a scene when needed if not your screwed unless you have the ability on your dvd player which some are so cheap they dont but i like to have at least 60%+ to make it good

And using the deep analysis and enhancements in Shrink REALLY help. So if you got a 60%+ compression rate, you should be fine--even on a big screen.
