What makes a Good Rip?

[Inindo]

It is obvious that encoding skill has a lot to dowith making a rip. Two rips with the same file size can drastically differ in quality. However, what exactly makes a good rip a good rip? Is it getting the right bits to the right frame, or cleaning up the picture with pre-encode filters, or some other factor that I'm not aware of?

Hi there,

yeah - thing is though, different movies compress completely differently so it's hard to compare unless you are watching the same movie.
However, what exactly makes a good rip a good rip? Is it getting the right bits to the right frame, or cleaning up the picture with pre- encode filters, or some other factor that I'm not aware of?
well, its all those things and more - you must decide on filters, manually edit keyframes etc if you think it is necessary. every source is different so it really comes down to a combination of the movie and what u like as to what u do. it's very hard to generalise. if i was to say one thing that leads to a good rip it would be how well you can "balance" the different aspects of ur backup ... for example: the balance between audio and video quality/size, the use of filters to compress better whilst not altering the picture too much.
