Does DVDShrink affect quality even at 0% compression

[psmuk]

I have an idea that requires using DVDShrink first of, however I will be leaving everything @ 0% so no loss in quality (I Think) can anyone tell me does DVD Shrink do anything to the quality even when set to 0% ??? Obviously I think not but never done it and hoping for some clarification.

Thanx

I have tested DVD Shrink using "No compression" in the past. I got no quality loss and all bytes preserved, unlike DVD95Copy's "No compression" option.

Edit: You mentioned "0%"? Am I reading it right or should it be 100%? Logically with 0%, you'll definitely get quality loss.

Logically with 0%, you'll definitely get quality loss.
Which is a riddle in itself; the box is called "Compression" so 90% compression is more than 10% and 0% compression is NO compression.

But anyway - even in Quantum Mechanics you'll find people that think 0 is a relevant value :D

As 2COOL said you will not get any quality loss.

But be warned if you are thinking of doing this......

I've used DVD Shrink many times to do a movie only disc and remove all extras using zero compression and then transcode using IC8. However dvdshrink recently found that IC8 screws up correct DVD structure after a number of people had problems loading an IC8 processed film into the DVD Shrink Gui. I've still not tested this out on IC7 to see if the same is true but obviously using DVD Shrink as the edit tool and Instant Copy as the transcode tool on longer films that require a fair bit of compression has great appeal. And there we were thinking that the editing features in IC8 were far better than the previous version.

Shame on you Pinnacle. :(

I reported a bug a while back in DVD Shrink v3 Beta 5 that hammered quality of transcodes when the method is set to Automatic at 100%.

Don't know if it was ever fixed...
