Re: Streaming DVDs - questions

["Mal Lansell" <mlansell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I usually follow DVDDecrypter with DVD2One.  I lets me remove everything
except the movie itself, as well as getting rid of subtitle and additional
audio tracks.  It then compresses what is usually around 6Mb of remaining
data so it will fit on a single DVD-R.  On my 32" TV I can't see any
difference between the original DVD and the compressed one.  I guess it may
be noticeable on a huge plasma or projector screen, but I doubt it will
actually matter.
