Sup guys,
I did some searching around but couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm looking at getting a media center PC working to hook up to my TV and I want to rip my blurays along with some of my DVD's in the highest quality codec. I'd like to eventually rip my blurays in the original 1080p format without loosing any quality. Hard drive space isn't really an issue as disks are pretty cheap. I couldn't find much info so I'm posting here.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Right on. So basically the only reason to re-encode the "rip" would be to save disk space?

The BD images would be 30-40GB average.
To save more space you could get rid of all the extras from the disc, all the unused audio streams, just keep one audio stream downconverted to AC3 with the unconverted video and store the m2ts movie file that will be 20-30GB average.
To make it even smaller around 8GB average you would have to re-encode the whole movie that could take 12+ hours depending on your PC. -
I use AnyDVD to rip the BD to my HDD then use tsMuxeR to select just the main movie and my desired language track. It will give you a .m2ts file of about 25 - 30GB, original quality. Plays back with MPC-HC with no problems, even over my LAN.
But I usually use AnyDVD to RipBot and convert to MKV, main movie only. Most times it's to a 7.95 DL DVD disc, but you can choose a larger size if you are just using HDD storage. Takes about six hours on my 3.3Ghz quad processor system. Quality seems very close to original.
MKV is a good choice for high quality and reasonable file size. You can keep the original audio tracks.
