[QUOTE="photopeter, post: 560881, member: 81712"] [b]AW: Help with video Library best for MP[/b] Hi. DVDs are compressed with the "old fashioned" Mpeg2 codec. You can reduce the size of the video stream to 1/3 without any visibly loss of quality using a "modern" codec as x264. Chapters, subtitles and audio (AC3/DTS) can be saved untouched to a MKV container. If you're able to loose the menu, there will be nothing you'll miss. After ripping the DVD with DVDShrink (or Smart Ripper ore something like that) you can simply compress the main movie using something like xmediarecode. The chapters could be ripped with ChapterXtractor, for subtitles you can use VSRip. All this, x264 recoded video stream, untouched audio stream(s), subtitles and chapters, you can easily mux together with MKVMergeGUI. After that you'll get a single mkv- file with sizes about 1 to 2 GB witch can be played on nearly every PC and some stand-alone DVD player. [/QUOTE]
