The sound isn't altered.
Of course you'll lose some video quality Depends on your eyes, your TV etc whether it's good enough for you. Try it and see, blanks are pretty cheap.

Supposedly compressing as much as 50% does not affect video quality enough to be noticable on a conventional 19" TV. Some people claim you can't notice anything up to a conventional 27" TV. But when you are viewing on a 36" or 42", that much compression is claimed to be noticable. Some say you can't go below 60%, some say even higher. If you re-author out all the extraneous material and keep only the main titles and one sound track, then you should get 60% or better. -- "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

The sound is untouched. Many people claim they cannot tell the difference
between a single layer copy and the original. I typically remove all the extras, all non-English subtitles and audio tracks, then shrink to keep the compression as low as possible..I also use Deep analysis and AEC...

I have used DVD shrink to go to 50% or so, and the quality holds up OK.
I have a 32 inch flat screen. Ideally, I like to keep the feature movie at 75%, but if I want extras then sometimes that can't be done. Freddy |

Like Freddie, I also use DVD Shrink for compression. On my 32" Philips
TV, I've noticed literally no loss. Sound is great, picture is great. I haven't compared anything on a larger screen. A quick trip to Best Buy with a recorded disc would answer any questions though. |
