Convert DVD to ? for my mediaplayer

[daniel_c]

Hi
I would like to convert some of my DVD to a format that take less space than a pure DVD rip for my media player.
What format should I use to get the best picture and at the same time be able to use 5.1 sound.

Is it possible to use more than one soundtrack (languages) in a converted file?

regards
Daniel

What type of media player is it ?

I have a Popcorn Hour

I am sure others who own one will chime in, but from what I can see of what it supports, I would use Xvid4PSP to create M2ts files encoded with H264 (Video) and retaining the original AC3 audio. I believe Xvid4PSP will only do one audio track, but you can use TSMuxer to add more than one.

I have already made rips of some dvd how do I do then?

Use handbrake an convert to mkv with h264 video and keep the ac3 audio.

Already made rips? In what format? Does the popcorn hour support that format? Then just use it as you don't want to convert again and lose more quality.

I have done pure dvd-rip but I want to have them in smaler filesizes.. without loosing to much quality (picture and sound)

And yes PCH does support dvd-rips

You should be able to load the vob files into xvid4psp.
