there is a good deal of difference what you do..
HK companys Re-encode all the video and htey normally do it at a set bitrate so no matter if it don't need alot of bitrate or high motion that do don't get it..
Your actually using a process of transcoding the video.. Its taking bits of the video that are not as needed and shifting stuff to reduce the video down.. Your actually not Re-encoding it which will always turn into worse quality.. Unless you do tricks to smoothen the video out but your still loosing quality.. its like a photo copies no matter what a copy of something will not be the same.. thats what re-encoding is like..
But thats the great thing of the digital world is that you can Copy directly without any quality loss from just disc to disc.
Also Hollywood could put alot of thigns on Dvd5 but they go for a certain quality and sometimes with all the extra's and stuff it will come out to like 6gigs so they place it onto a dvd9 instead of shinking it more. I perfer having my video max quality.. And with really good tv's you can somewhat notice a difference..
and hbk is correct with the pressing.. what the HK companys do is make a Master copy kinda like you making a burnt copy and then the presses create dvd's outta this copy so it doesn't matter what type of disc its on.. its exact as the master. or as what you have burnt. So niether is better qualtiy well except for life expectance and avoidance to getting damaged.. Your burnt copys will probably only last 3-5 years (in average)
P.S. In the end and simple put like hbk, HK companys suck at encoding.
