    So i just purchased a samsung led tv with media usb 2.0 - I want to rip a few home movies to transfer into my external hd to connect to the tv and watch (I know once any dvd is converted it will lose quality)

    Tv require specific formats


    What is the format i should use? what program should i be using to rip the dvd?
    Im looking for convience in file small size yet decent video/sound quality.

    .avi?
    .mpeg?
    .wmv?
    etc...

    I purchased aimersoft dvd ripper but im not 100% happy with it please recommend a better program that will fit my needs

    Use free software, rip with DVDFab Decrypter and convert with Handbrake! And convert to avi with xvid video or mkv with h264 video.

    whats the difference between .avi & .mkv?

    will i be able to get the 1920x1080 resoultion with the advice you gave me?

    I'd use x264+AC3 in MKV with Xvid4PSP or MeGUI. Keep DVD resolution and use DAR flags.

    I added it to my previous post. Keep the DVD resolution (720x480) and let the TV upscale.

    Read a guide! DVDFab Decrypter and HandBrake - http://forum.videohelp.com/topic365611.html

    Or use ONLY DVDFab($50), see http://www.dvdfab.com/docs/index.php...oMobileGeneric . But I think you will get better quality using Handbrake, Megui, StaxRip or Xvid4PSP.
