  2. What are you on about? That was a totally different subject all together. It was about video/audio syncing.
    So my question hasn't been answered.

    VOB2MPG will copy the DVD's multiple sets of VOB files into 1 MPG file without converting thus giving you the "best" quality. If you need to convert then use dvdfab decrypter to rip to HDD then use handbrake and convert to h264 mp4/mkv. These are all free tools.

  4. Generally, the container (AVI, MP4, MKV, MPG, TS, M2TS, etc.) makes no difference to the quality of the audio or video. They are just "boxes" that hold audio and video (and other stuff). It's the compression codecs used on the audio and video in those containers that determines the quality. Some containers don't support codecs. Some containers have better support than others.

    I currently use MKV as the container for my DVD rips. As for codecs, h.264 is the currently among the best at keeping video quality at small file sizes. I use x264. I usually keep the AC3 audio from the DVD.

    He's absolutely right. The best encode is no encode, as far as quality goes. It'll cost you more $$$ for external HDd's but it'll save a lot of time and bother.

    Jagabo is also right. x.264 is the best format/codec in terms of file size v. quality.

    But ... and it's a big but ... he also knows how to use those advanced h.264 encoding options. If you don't it isn't really that much better than xvid.

    Put it this way. I've seen 700Mb xvid (and even divx) feature length encodes that were actually pretty damn good. And I've seen h.264 ones 3 times as big that stunk.
