Just in addition. Most commercial dvd's use dvd9 format which holds around 8 GB not the dvd 5 format that holds about 4.4 gb. So what you're dwnlding has probably been decreased in size by b/w 1/5th to 1/10th of the original size. I've heard that some of these are still quite reasonable in quality depending on the softw utility/codecs & skills used.
