[QUOTE="clobber, post: 359526, member: 64615"] Disc space is an issue for me, so I use DVDShrink (free) to rip the DVD episodes uncompressed to my hard drive still in the VIDEO_TS folder structure. Then I use Handbrake (free) to convert each episode to h.264 in a mkv container. It is actually an easy procedure with just a few clicks. The advantage is that h.264 seems to be good quality with small file size. With the mkv container, if there are any chapter marks in the DVD, they will be retained in the mkv file so you can skip around the video quickly. Downside is that it takes a while to convert each episode. The alternative is to just rip using DVDshrink and rename the video files. Without converting you'll probably need between 5-7 gigs of disc space per DVD. [/QUOTE]
