Hi Corvette_44,

I don't think you can burn this flick to a SL without a lethal hit on quality, especially since it is so "video rich"; the file size is huge and the difference between complete disc vs. main movie, is just not significant.

Express, complete disc = 7.59 GB, to a SL = 52% compression; whereas main movie to a SL = 53% compression...not much of a net gain here.

While complete disc is a potential problem with express and recent releases (as Mack pointed out), you never really know until someone tries it. Sony releases seem to be the most predisposed to this...with fab anyway.

BTW, I did express - complete disc bkup with KK to a DL...no problem...
