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)

However, I can suggest a workaround that (hopefully) will work for you. The workaround is to: Completely uninstall MP, MySQL, and MariaDB. Perform a...

    i love how subtitles are implemented in the MP2 videoplayer, this is just perfect. 1080p playback is also very good. But video playback in MP2 is buggy when playing 4k material. Therefore: PLEASE add an option for an external video player! I'd LOVE to have VLC back as videoplayer, like in MP1! This works perfectly. You will make a...

    I did a check of MP 1.36 x64 on Win11 and I can confirm, that the TV server correctly detects running MediaPortal.exe process.
