Limulus:

65m of video @ 8000kbps and lpcm audio would be somewhere around 5-6 gigs

i can get similar quality both audio and video in a file about 1/5th the size, that is the point

and even at 8000kbps i can see loss, especially in frame analyses but not wih h264 and divx at stream rates of 2500 and up

better quality, 1/3 the size, whats the problem?

65min lpcm normally should make it, but ok, lets take 63min with 8000video and lpcm. the result is an outmaxed DVD(5) around 4,3gb.
it surely depends on the source material and transfer but ANY encoding will suffer the outcome quality, period. the trick is to circulate only quality outmaxed dvds. dvds are as common as audio cdrs and very cheap, thats most likely the main problem for people not accepting "similar" quality on different or new or to-be-upgraded equipment.
