    I have a question about DVD DL disk i have 0 experience on what brands to buy i buy all my blank dvd media from supermediastore and i currently use Tayio Yuden i never had a problem with them ever.. I want to start making backups of season DVDS such as Six Feet Under and The Sopranos as an example there is well over 2 hours of video on it so therefore the compression will be horrible i only get about 43% in dvd shrink so i didn't bother to back them up.. I want to use DVD DL disk any advice would be very helpful. The program i am currently using are DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, Vob Blanker, Any DVD and Clone DVD.... I am very familiar with all these programs and know how to use them...

    If you dont want to use DVD DL disc I would suggest trying to use DVD-RB + CCE to encode the DVD's to DVD5.

    I used to use Shrink, Nero Recode, CloneDVD etc. etc. to do movies/TV episode DVD's but hated the results.

    Someone suggested I try DVD Rebuilder + CCE and I have not gone back since. The diffrence is Transcoders (DVD Shrink)drop frames of the DVD to get down to a DVD5 size. Where DVD Rebuilder + CCE encodes it. it breaks down the video and rebuildes it for better bitrate.

    So if your looking for a way to keep using DVD5 and not worry about buying DL media try DVD-Rebuilder + CCE. Below is a link to a guide on how to use it. Plus there are links to the programs you will need.
