Welcome to the forum. Don't think I'd do that. It tells DVDFab to expect a DL disc, and finding a SL instead will have unpredictable results, the best of which is a box popping up asking for a DVD9 to be inserted. DVDFab's compression works well with most movies down to 70% or so, even lower in some cases. If you want to keep the quality number up, use Customize mode and unselect some of the audio streams and disc extras. Select DVD9 only for burning one or if you want to write an uncompressed file to your HDD.

/EDIT/Sorry, Tom. Slow typing+wordy post=two replies for lucky marstc09.
