Hello everyone, I am James.
Facts about me:
- Newbie in DVD Ripping.
- Mac user.
- Also have access to Windows XP. Last resort though.
I used a software called Mac DVDRipper Pro to rip a DVD.
The output file was NAME_OF_THE_MOVIE.dvdmedia kind of file.
If I understand correctly the software created an entire copy of the DVD disk on my hard drive.
Apparently that .dvdmedia output file I got seems to be the exact quality as the original DVD (lossless quality).
So, entire DVD copy + lossless quality means I got myself an entire backup of my DVD.
This far I am fine with the process as long as I only want to play the file on my Mac.
What process do I follow if I want to burn it to a DVD?
When burning the movie to a DVD is lossless quality possible?
If lossless quality is out of the question, how can I achieve the least quality loss possible?
P.S.: I actually was surprised when I saw that the output file was .dvdmedia kind of file because I initially was expecting that it would be something like an .avi, .mp4, etc. file along with an .srt, .sub, etc. file, pretty much like the files they distribute in torrent sites and so on. If it was like that then I could easily burn them in a DVD because I already have a software which I insert .avi and .srt files and burns them to DVD.
Thanks in-advance. :)
