DVD compression problems? Why?

[gubi-gubi]

As for the HK companies doing bad... remember they have to deal with subtitle streams, menus, dual audio channels, etc. I know that's not a lot, and they could do WAY WAY better, but they can't just use DVDShrink to combine DVDs.

It is fiddly but after the amount of practice they should have in doing it (look how many sets MAC have put out and they still make mistakes now?!) they should be experts... To be honest I'd rather have better quality video, audio with no skew and perfect subs or anything than have menus... Sure menus are cool but not really necessary and they do take up some space (not loads but still)...
