    I was wondering if a lot of people still use the smaller DVDs or if everyone has upgraded to the DVD9's.

    I still compress 99% of my back ups to dvd5's. I use dvdremake and dvd-rb/cce so the quality is excellent.

    never tried the DVD9's. I've never had a problem with 5's thanks to the great instruction found at this very forum

    I've never burned a DVD9. I usually don't watch the extra features anyway.

    dvdshrink is the one I always use.. there's a whole forum just for this software too..and it's freeware.

    Have a look in that forum, right at the top of AD :)

    You can't compress a complete dvd9 down to a dvd5 without loosing some video quality. You can use several proggys to backup the movie only and in some cases depending on how long the movie is you won't loose much quality if any. Dvd shrink (free) will do it and another very popular proggy is clone dvd2. You will need a program to break the css encryption on the original regardless of which program you choose to compress with. I recommend anydvd which is made by the same ppl that make clone dvd2 and you can buy them bundled togather at a discounted price.

    If you want to compress a complete dvd9 to a dvd5 with the best video quality possible I recommend dvd rebuilder with either cinema craft encoder or hc encoder by hanks.

    You can use dvd decrypter to copy a complete dvd9 to a dvd9 by choosing read iso and then write iso. There are guides and links in my sig. Dvd decrypter is getting hard to find since it has been banned so here's a link to it. Get it while you can. http://mrbass.org/dvdrip/
