Encoding tutorials and such?

[Soulraver]

Hi im quite new to encoding i have searched the forums (probably not well enough :( ) but could not find exactly what i was searching for, i was wondering if there where like tutorials that help you learn how to encode, what i want to do is encode my anime dvd's onto my computer with a smaller file size so i dont fill my hard drive to fast and keep the quality high, so i was wondering what kind of format you guys would recommend for anime and what program would be best to encode this type of thing with? the Anime DvD i have is Full Metal Alchemist if that helps you guys at all. Also as i mentioned before any help or guides or tutorials that will help me learn to encode will be great. :thanks:

I would have moved this thread to the Newbies forum, but Soulraver has already posted the same question there. This is called "cross posting" and is considered a faux pas (Rule #8).

I am closing this thread, and providing a link to the thread in Newbies:
