[QUOTE="drealit, post: 414465, member: 70031"] I have considered your thoughts of just remuxing the untouched streams into an mkv container... but I have done a lot of research regarding this and have found it to be not worth it. I wouldn't say just simply ripping the streams would knock off 10gb's of a bluray disc... that is a very very generous number. I'd say more along the lines of 5GB's - at 20 movies ripped/remuxed that's only 100GB saved versus keeping the original source rip. When I encode I usually use a CQ setting of around 20 or 21 sometimes as low as 18 (it really is source dependent). My quality loss is extremely minimal compared to the source and I usually knock off 10-15GB's depending on the movie. Multiply that by 20 movies and that's between 200-300GB's saved space on average. I currently own probably 100 HD/Blu rips/encodes... 25 or so I have personally done. They range from 10-18GB's in size - that's 1TB - 1.8TB's of space used. If I had kept or acquired them at a source file size of 20-30GB a pop that'd be - 2TB - 3TB's of space needed. That could potentially lead to a whole other TB hard drive which costs $80-100 on its own along with the additional electrical costs that come with it per year (for the love of god WD needs to drop their 2TB prices to $200 or less lol). It really does start to add up fast. I can't see any reason why not to encode your rips. Here's a sample of a recent encode I didn't personally do but is perfect to show what I mean in terms of quality loss: Source - 25-50GB?
