I was just wondering if companys will ever be able to make a burner that can burn DVD-9 movies. I am currently in the process of using DVD Shrink to put a DVD-9 movie on one DVD-R but I'm a little wary of the fact that its compressed. I'd really like to be able to burn a 1:1 copy of DVD-9 movies and not lose any of the quality. I've read from several posts that the quality loss is noticable on larger high definition TVs. As I have a 65 in HDTV I hope I don't get too dissapointed with my copy. I've made too many coasters already. Thanks in advance.

Wait for Blu ray lasers, then hope that it becomes the next generation standard. In other words roll your dice when it comes out. :)

I have a 55 inch HDTV as well.. My experience is there are only a few DVD's that look "ok" even in preogressive scan. Maybe I am really picky, But I just cant understand how a 480P signal coming through a antenna ontop of my house gets a way better quality picture than a DVD. It's the same signal from a DVD and the antenna (480p) So my guess is crappy encoding on the DVD manufactures part. anyone else got a good explanation?

Hi guys, I've talked to a couple of my TV techs about this same problem on HDTV. they claim HDTV will pick up any imperfections on a DVD. So the compression becomes a BIG issue. Best bet for now is to do movie only backups or split DVD-9 to 2 discs. No better fix for now.

Hi guys,
DVD double sided discs that hold upto 9.4GB are available but they cost about $3 each, not a wise investment, is it?

There are programs that let you split a dvd9 over two discs. I can't remember them off the top of my head cause I don't use them but I know they've been discussed here. Try searching past threads.

I've read that DVDshrink can be used to split a dvd onto 2 discs but I never did it. Also the other CloneDVD (not the Elby Clonedvd) is set up to split a DVD-9 to 2 discs.

I have a 42" HD PLasma and don't notice any compression issues in video or even on my theater sound at reasonable compressions...and I've X-Copied over 8gig movies.
Overall, there is a huge difference when watching a DVD, original or not and a true HD Signal but again, I've had no compression issues.

Interestingly the DVD-9 link above (check other formats) indicates that "dual layer" writing is currently not possible. As far as dealing with DVD-9, I have today downloaded DVD Wizard Pro for $40; I chose that over DVD X Copy ($120) because X copy supposedly is trying to sell copy protection (from their own software!, read: playing both ends), to Netfix, et al. Since it would be my intention to copy those few rentals that I might actually want to view more than once and would not want that to be prevented Wizard, thought unproven, seemed a better prospect.

Pardon the typo: Netfix (Freudian slip) should be Netflix. Netflix is the bomb, if you are not there yet you should go to Netflix.com post haste.

While there aren't DVD-9 burners or media available, it's not accurate to say it's not possible. Pioneer recently demonstrated burning a DVD-9 with an A06, which means that both the media and the hardware/firmware currently exist. There are still a few hurdles to get past before it's available, like formal standards from the DVD Forum (for -R at least) and decisions by manufacturers whether to release firmware upgrades for existing drives that may be capable of dual layer burning or make everyone buy new drives, but there's no doubt it's coming soon.
