I am trying to get all my movies into a nice format for playing from my HTPC w/o having to get up to put the damn discs in and out all the time.
My idea was to rip the discs, take the movie only video + sound and put them, as-is no compression etc., into an MKV container somehow so then I could just point my HTPC frontend to a folder of the files, like I have done for regular DVDs, and play them that way.
I know how to rip the discs, but after that I'm not sure what tools to use. How can I go from the ripped disc files on my HD to putting the video+audio in an MKV container or something similar preserving all original quality? I've searched and read, but I can't find anything specific.
