When ripping DVD's to MP what do most of you do?

Currently I rip to divx to concerve space but this has the obvious problem of loosing the quality of the DVD.

Does the loss of quality matter that much to most people?

    personally i rip the whole DVD with DVDFabDecrypter. Quality is ofcourse important, why settle for less than true DVD-quality when i have access to the disc? Disk space is no real concern (yet) since i use a separate old computer with FreeNAS, i just add disks when i need more space and i reach my files from anywhere, anytime.

    Im using Fairwizard to convert all my DVDs to DivX 6
    You dont loose that much quality these days with the latest versions of DivX and obviously you can store stacks of stuff on you're machine.
    I'll be getting a projector for my machine so I need the video quality to be quite high.
    This seems to do the trick :p

    Ehh.. you can't rip DVDs from within MP, right?

    Would be cool, though... 8)

    I've only used DVD Shrink ('coz its free)

    The problem with MP 1.32 was that the TV Server component was still 32-bit, even when you installed the 64-bit version of the MP client. MP 1.33 will have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of both the MP client and TV Server. My understanding is that it will not be possible to perform an upgrade install from a 64-bit client + 32-bit TV...

If I start Mediaportal as administrator everything is ok. Starting the TV service separately is only possible as an administrator. If I then start...

    Hi Steve, nice to see you're still around! The question is a bit broad so it's hard to give a solid anwser. In which part is this happening? My videos/MovingPictures/Onlinevideos? And do you use something like subcentral/subtitledownloader? Also log files in full debug mode of such a playback where it picks the old subtitlefile could...

    It appears that MP somehow caches previously used subtitle files for subsequent use next time the same video is played. My problem...

    Just those I attached. I messed about with task priorities MP/TV-Server/SQL-Server and the issue changed to the skin.. I would do something, but it would be 10's of seconds before the action happened. Doing an Alt-Tab would flush the actions. Too weird lol!! So, with some flak from the family, I had to give in. I just did a...
