I need to know what some of you have found acceptable for compression levels in nero recode or shrink in converting dvd-9 to single layer dvd-5 dvd. I would like to still have excellent video quality to watch on my 55 inch LCD TV. All opinions are appreciated as I try to set my own tolerance levels for compression.
Thank You,
Kevin

I've tried up to almost 50%, quality still acceptable. But usually I'll just settle for about 20-30%.

have done alot of research on this forum and have purchased dvd rebuilder PRO for anything that needs compressing more than 20%. Seems like this program is the clear winner for quality, thank you.

I agree. I usually don't go any lower than 75% with Recode myself. However, if it has a bitrate at or near 7 kbps, compression as low as 60% with Recode still produces a flawless output. I view a 52" widescreen HDTV... I use RB/CCE for high compression encodes...

In query to Nero Recode 2, for best quality I used/checked on "Advanced Analysis" and "Slow Mode". With those 2 settings, I watched all of my backups on my 55" SONY HDTV and I can't tell any differences between the original and my backup (*NOTE: I only used genuine Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim and Maxell (Hitachi - made in japan) and I only burned them at 4X). Overall, I'm satisfy with the quality that Nero Recode 2 produced. See picture for more details.

In addtion, you need to set the Quality inside its Video settings inside "More".

In the same area where you decide to keep or remove subtitles and audio, the other tab is labelled "Info." You will find the bitrate there...

another quick question please:
I notice after running DVD-RB with CCE that the audio is even compressed some, is this normal?. I dont want to lose anything on the audio portion at all for my surround sound.
Thanks in advance

@dabig25
That's mainly your choice, you can either leave it or use it - it won't hurt to enable/use it though. I usually use it, just to double check and make sure Nero Recode 2 is giving me the best quality on Main movie. I don't really care extra stuff, previews, etc. I do keep the menu though.
