You'll be lucky to fit around 50 episodes of B5 on 17 4.7GB Discs

[color=66ff00]Of course I'm making the assumption that the episodes are DivX encoded and are in the region of say... 350MB an episode.

Well, once I get my burner, I know that I'll be putting S:AAB and all of SG-1 on em. Tho all of Sg1 would take about 16 dvds it would be worth it.

Ok. That changes everything, though the quality loss will be noticable

[Kazan]

xelion: not really

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00]I'd have to agree with Kazan here, the loss of quality still renders a picture quality in excess of those on standard VHS videos.

In theory of course...

Maeg and Kaz the quality wouldn't be noticable if you watching it on a standard tv but say hdtv or your computer it would be. This is not an issue to agree upon or not ... DivX compression is good but not to the extent it can give you even good quality from a 1.5GB episode to 350MB. In the compression process the resolution would be halfed and the audio quality would be lower. I've seen B5 episodes this small and there pretty bad quality...

Xelion: I actually prefer Xvid and when Xvid is done correctly it's lossless

Well I haven't seen much video thats encoded by Xvid, what I have seen is really good. So I'll trust you on that
