If there are compression artifacts from putting it on DVD-5, they are going to remain there if we put it on DVD-9. We can't "undo" the artifacts simply by "recompressing" the films, because too much material has already been lost due to lossy compression.

I see, it should be more specific, and refer to the Laserdiscs as the sources to digitize. Laserdiscs or the original master tapes do not suffer from digital compression. I´m going to change this.
