DVD compression problems? Why?

[t03knee]

Eh? With codecs making it easyer to what? Why isn't FX doing what? The only compression format they can use is MPEG2. What you want them to use XviD or something?

Are you serious? You are taking an FX disc and compressing it to DVD-5? FX discs are mostly 2 DVD-9 discs compressed and stuck onto one DVD-9 and you want to compress that down again and complain about the quality lol!?

Late reply.. but a late reply is better than none.

1) I've done better jobs compressing MPEG2 video from R1 animes than some HK companies have done theirs. I have a few dual layers and have tried combining two DVD9 discs into one, using Ulead DVD Workshop to make "amatuer menus" for the video and my quality has virtually no pixellation. The codec comment was a mistake. I badly noted avi and divx compression methods for dvd methods which are completely different. What I meant to say is most HK companies can do much better compressing.

2) I buy HKs. I never copy HKs for myself... only for friends who lack the money to buy HKs, let alone R1s. That's why I copy them. And my comment about the quality being horrible actually only goes for Fushigi Yuugi... and that's because the quality on the HKs is already somewhat bad (but it's an old anime.. whudda ya gonna do).

Anywho.. hope that clears up what I meant to say.
