Of course it is subjective. I suppose I should have said "I don't notice
any great loss in quality". But then again, I spend more time concentrating
on the plot line.
The standard DVDs these days are populated with "extras" that I may watch
once. When using dvdshrink one thing you can do is eliminate the "extras"
meaning what you really watch will have less than 50% file reduction.
