Hi Metalogre,

Sorry for your trouble. I don't know how many sony DLs you have, but I agree with others...verb +R DLs are the way to go. This doesn't mean you can't get a decent burn out of "some" other brands, but on any burning forum, you'll find a consensus re: the verbs.
BTW, I had no problem with this movie... bkup'd to a verb DL with Fab all the way.

Jimbo makes some excellent points, you can strip this flick down and get it to 69-70% for an SL disc.

@t0nee1, agree re: shrink; not sure why folks would try to utilize this for a DL burn anyway. It was developed as a transcoder with its primary purpose to "shrink".

Disagree re: Fab 3. I've done many DL burns with dvdd, dvdd and Img and I agree with you, the results were excellent. My bkups were flawless. Fab 2.xxx had excellent video quality, but the LB was problematic...ranging from a glitch to major freezing and failed navigation of the disc.

With Fab 3 however, IMO, the quality is flawless here as well...start to finish. No disrespect to Img and LIGHTNING UK (he remains one of my heros) or shrink for that matter. Personally, I haven't really seen much in the way of problems with DL burning that are attributable to a failure of Fab. IMO, most platinum users that burn to DLs, are able to do the whole process in Fab and have excellent results.
I realize that you don't agree with me and that's ok. I just figured I'd throw in my 2 cents as well...
