Use the 540p preset for DVDs. The 1080p preset picks a slightly lower quality per pixel, which is why it's smaller, since it's intended for 1080p files with more pixels. Thanks... after reading your reply, I figured the same since increased quality is probably worth a measly 0.9 gb extra. Especiall...

Description of problem or question: I've started to rip my DVD collection for viewing on Apple TV, and figured that an Apple TV preset with "same as source" framerate was probably the all around best combination of quality and speed. Especially given that I am keeping the DVDs in a binder...
