quote: Use DVD Fab HD Decrypter, it will rip HD and Blu Ray but if you want one file it may be better to rip to an ISO file using anothe rprogramme as im pretty sure DVDfab will not do an iso file. Im using a programme called handbrake to convert and compress my dvd and converting the files to .MKV files which is a very high qaulity container with great compression factors, obv is you compress though for storage reasons then you will lose quailty. I would say after fiddling with the settings sligthly i am at 90-95 quailty of a normal dvd and i encode usually with Dolby pro logic so have surround sound. I had an 7.8 gig movie which has compressed to 2 gig and is of good quality which i can deal with. | |

Have only ever used it a handful of times and i managed to get them down to around 2GB/3GB - like i say, if you have the space then that's what i would use or store the whole DVD with menus as Vobs. | |

quote: well wasnt that impressed with the xvid encoding, the attempt i made at converting to an mkv file proved there is a lot better quality available, b ut its a bitch to do unless im missing something. Dom what size file do you get using something like Lagarith say on a 4gb dvd? | |

quote: if it's XVid to around 4/5GB then i would look at your options or use a different converter as you should be able to get it down to around 1.5GB without loosing too much quality (although still isn't brilliant). If you're archiving your own collection then i would look at lossless codecs like Lagarith, Huffyuv, Alparysoft, MSU (if it's still going), instead of lossy codecs like Divx, XVid etc. Noticable differences between a decent lossless codec and a DVD is minimal and with a little playing around you can get files down half the size of a DVD. Or keep them as vobs, but depends how much storage and how many DVDs.... Also multiple passes during encoding will improve the quality (without much difference in file size) but a decent encode can take a few hours if not most of an afternoon.

Depends. You have the option to choose how much of the quality you want to preserve (in the form of a percentage) | |
