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)

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.

    When I am trying to get some hardware or software to work and I am experiencing problems, my usual procedure is: simplify, simplify, simplify. That means avoid making choices that may not work; instead make the "standard" choice, which is often simply accepting the default. A static IP address is known to work with MP1. An address...

    If you use a VPN connection to your home network, you should be able to use the MP client to connect to your server natively instead of using MPExtended.
