How do you rip your movies?

[veX]

I've been ripping my movies to 1400mb, 110 frequency for sound, then using lame, I'll go for the --preset type --dm-preset-insane or whatever.

my rips come out awesome....until I realized I could use 700mb divx 5.0 and get slightly lower quality, yet half the size of my way...

I really wish that it wouldn't take so long to rip. About 48-50 hours for me.:angry: This problem for my shall soon end. I'm using a Pentium 2, 400mhz pos. I'm going to be building a dual AMD 2000+ MP system hopefully this month. :D

Anyway...what do you guys do for ripping near-dvd quality vids???

700mb filesize, with 10 encodings, audio at 96kb and whatever settings madrona has

I'm like alku83, 700 MB with 96 or 128k audio. I select the biggest Window size under 130:1 compression. But of course I use FUBatch instead.

700 Mb, and for audio I use LAME --alt-preset 105, which gives a very good compromise between 96 and 128, with better quality than 128 to my ears... I'm thinking of switching to Ogg as soon as I see a bit more stability on the filters (which already work REALLY well!).

is there anyone here who has an ftp or something or will let me try downloading one of their movies? I'm really interested in what other people's encodings look like. I was shocked that one kid had nearly the same quality as me but half the file size. I've stopped ripping so I can figure out a better, more efficient way to copy dvds--Picture & sound quality ranking #1 priority of course.

vex,

If you email address can handle a 1-2 MB file, I can email you a small clip of one of my encodings.

Huh....I guess audio quality isn't as important to you guys as it is to me....

I have to have great sounding audio in my encodes....part of what makes dvd great.

I always use the ac3 sound and go for 2cd encode...better video quality with superb sound.
