Hey guys, I'm a perfectionist when it comes to ripping, I was wondering if anyone could explain to me how I can create the best-looking rip(not-average or good using DivXPro5.1, I have a friend who downloaded Lord Of the Rings that was on two discs and it was in the best quality I've ever seen in the way of compressed quality....
PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ON THIS ASAP

You asked this same question at the end of September in http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62499, and didn't get a whole lot of replies. There are several reasons why : There is no such thing as "best" for this type of video encoding. No one single set of filters or procedures can be used in every case. Quality is highly subjective. Content is highly variable. There are a multitude of choices that can effect the outcome.

You are looking for a silver bullet, and it doesn't exist.

Not only does a "best" not exist, but asking for a "best" opinion is a violation of forum Rule #12.

One of the forum's most important rules is about the protection of intellectual property. It's Rule #6. Your question certainly skates on the razor's edge of violating that rule, and reasonably could be interpreted as violating it.For more on the forum rules, please see: Forum rules (http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm) (#6,#12) Announcement in Newbies forum (http://forum.doom9.org/announcement.php?s=&forumid=6) (#6) Doom9's disclaimer page, under Piracy and Copyright (http://www.doom9.org/disclaimer.htm) (#6)

I would like to say, welcome to the forum xl_djk. But you've managed to break two rules in only your second post!

The first rule broken is... asking what's best. Rule 12
The second rule broken is... talking about downloading movies. Rule 6

Please refer to the Rules (http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm)


EDIT: You beat me to it jggimi

Use slowest mode, 6 passes, fast PV, and update log file. Use 64kbps Ogg Vorbis audio to maximize the video bitrate. Aim for video bitrates of >=1000kbps. Vary the resolution until you get >=60% compressibility in Gordian Knot. Go to 2CD's if you can't do this in 1CD.

You'll get good results, if you're willing to wait.
