Newb Question

[ToiletDuck]

I haven't encoded anything in roughly two years. I've just been busy out making my life etc. Now I have a place of my own and want to build a media PC for it. I've already picked a 2.4ghz intel quad processor, 4gb memory, windows vista, 72gb & 1TB hard drive (the 72gb is a raptor for my main OS and the 1TB is for recording DVR HD content). I'm still working on which gfx card and sound cards etc. to go with. I have a blu-ray RW drive ordered for my case.

One thing I'd like to do is encode my own Blu-ray disks for this PC. I have a 47" LCD TV that plays blu-ray amazing. So here's the newb question (remember I've been gone for a couple years), is it possible to encode blu-ray media in some sort of losless format where I can drop all the movie trailers, subtitles, extra audio, and perhaps compress the movie some so that it doesn't take up much space?

I have a desktop with 2xintel quad core 2.4ghz processors, 16GB of memory, one raptor and two 7500RPM drives. I should be able to encode these movies at a rather large pace. I currently only have 12 blu-ray movies but I'd like to put them on the media PC and be able to scroll through them in the menu. I'm also in the process of updating my wireless network to "N" for faster Xfers.

Fix your thread title for rule 9 else you are in danger of a strike. Thank you.

do you want lossless or do you want to save space?

can't have both

Have you thought about a set top box like a popcorn hour?

No sir thank you. What would you have me put it as then? I am a new person to this that has multiple questions. Should I rewrite it as "New person with multiple questions"? Would that be more accurate than Newb Question. Oh I see. I didn't make it Newb Questions<--forgot the "s" because I had a few. Unless you want to promote people starting a new thread for every single question they have. I haven't asked people what hardware they like to use to play the compressed files etc. I guess I could start a new thread each time taking up much more room than needed.

Why would you say something like "for rule 9"? Why not just say the rule being broken if there is in fact a rule being broken? You make it sound like your lifelong quest in life is to work for the IRS. Bet all grins at parties!

Is there a rule against coming into someone's thread, making a post that has nothing to do with the topic/question, offering nothing helpful by any means, and wasting my time?

Get a life.

Apparently you forgot about this thread, where you were educated about rule 9:

The rules are linked at the top of every page:

http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm

You are expected to follow them. So I ask you again to edit your thread title to comply with rule 9, else you risk a strike.

If you want to discuss this further, please do so in PM, and do not post further about it here, as that would be a rule 3 violation (also a rule 16 violation). Thank you.

Sure you can. That's what lossless compression is all about. It doesn't appear applicable to the OP's scenario, though, I'll grant you.

May I suggest a title?
