That's 3 movies with unnoticeable VIDEO QUALITY drops, and they stay ANAMORPHIC. So, about that German magazine article about converting DVD-9 to DVD-5, eat this out!     

Robshot (Writer of this guide, spent 1 week testing this with a fruitful result), Ferrit (Video Guru, developer of this method), Macleod (tester of this method, a person I would trust on getting the best mpeg2 quality video out of a re-encoding session)"
