movie all grainy after rip

[happyhippo]

Hi guys,

I play my bluray movies from a media player so I have to rip bluray discs.

I use tsmuxer for the ripping cause its very easy and I dont really know any other ones. I basically never ever mess with the settings or whatever, just remove a foreign audiotrack or add/remove subtitles. But whatever I do the picture always appears to be very grainy after the rip on my tv.

I pulled an .mkv version of some movies just for comparison. Where a bluray rip from lets say fast five appears very grainy, the way
smaller .mkv version of the movie is perfectly crisp and sharp. I tried this with some other movies and it all had the same result.

Now am I doing something wrong (adjust settings? rip with something else?) or am I just wasting my money and time with these bluray ripping deal?

Thanx for all the help, god know I need it

Many blu-rays are very grainy so it should look like that. If you reconvert and shrink to a smaller mkv it can look more smooth. I guess some also use some filters to reduce the grain even more.

Hey Baldrick,

Thanks for the quick reply. I understand that tsmuxer doesnt convert. I read up about a program called ripbot. Will this do the trick of ripping and converting in one go?
And just because Im curious, what kind of filters are we talking about? You know any or is it more of a presumption?

Thanx

In ripbot264 can you apply a denoise filter, see step 11: http://adubvideo.net/how-to/encoding-blurays-mp4-ripbot . But you must reconvert the entire video which may take some hours.
