Originally posted by kingtommy Actually, you BENEFIT from using a preset. To be nice, Mu built it so that when swapping presets you wouldn't lose more than 1 bootleg DVD at a time. So if you plop them in one-by-one, you could lose any number of DVDs. If you use a preset, you'd lose 1 or 0. No more.

About this "stacking" thing. Statistically, you could say it stacks. Programmatically, each DVD confiscation is handled individually. So it doesn't go, "you have 10 DVDs, okay, 30% chance one gets lost." No, it goes, "okay, here are your DVDs. Let's go through each individually and see if any get confiscated..." Once a DVD gets confiscated, no others will get confiscated.

Long story short: manually adding DVDs will only hurt you.

I don't know if this is true or not Tommy, but "I had 2 confiscated at the same time loading a preset...just sayin.

EDIT: That did not happen to me. Just clarifying.

Also I thought DVDs being taken in cell presets was completely new. Never once had a DVD taken when switching cell sets until today.
