Encoding DVD's? - Page 2

pre1014 · 2009-10-28, 23:31

I only decrypt out the main movie and 5.1 audio track using dvd shrink. I use dvdshrink to also compress each movie IF it goes over dvd5 size. I currently have 723 DVDs taking up about 3TB.

Re-encoding to h.264 or something will take a lot LONGER and you will be able to fit 150 dvds just using dvd shrink anyways.

I use dvdfab if there is sufficient copy protection and then run the files through shrink to compress and save as iso.

Single files are much better than multiple vob files IMHO

I actually used that with all my movies. I only had 2 dvd's I had to redo that didn't work right. Its a really good app.

A nas NAS is NETWORK-ATTACHED-STORAGE and can be be built
with failure-tolerance ... (this is for example caled RAID-1 or RAID5)

If you copy all your movies to a single disk ... and this disk has a failure
.... all your movies are gone ...

2.) Transcode the movies to h264 . Do it with your purchased software /
with Handbrake / or with my ripper-script --- (it contains allready handbrake)

Where is this script?

Is it setup to handle more than one, like a whole directory full of ISO's to mkv?

check out handbrake, I use it for everything. I don't use the official release as that is quite old, but one of the dev releases.

I rip the DVD to ISO using DVDshrink, then use Handbrake. But it can probably do it direct from DVD. I rip first as I queue up a bunch to encode overnight and while I am at work. The queue is the best feature for doing lots of encoding.

I encode to x264, but it takes a long, long time, 2-3 hours on a Q6600, but it gives great quality with smaller file size. Would make the most of your 1TB drive.
