That'd be a useless poll with a bazillion options, because there are a bazillion permutation and combination of settings you can use when doing such a conversion. It all depends upon your source and your needs. You'd get better replies if you were to ask specific questions regarding specific settings, than to ask a generic question like this.

Then which AutoMKV profile are people using to convert DVD's to H.264?
I'm really trying to warm to the program but I'm tempted to use Handbrake as it seems far easier. I want my DVD's on my high-spec HTPC at about 2-4gb per movie depending on length. I use MPC to playback (with FFDSHOW). Last edited by chappy16775; 19th May 2008 at 02:47. |

H.264, right, but for viewing on what hardware ?
Is it for your computer only ? Or do you actually need to be able to play those files on your standalone player, PS3, PSP, "MP4 player from <godknowswhatbrand>", iPod, or anything else ? For PC playback, you can use any settings that meet your quality/filesize requirements. For specific hardware compatibility, you'll have to choose some options carefuly, but I think AutoMKV has profiles you can use to make your choice easier (been a long time I haven't used it, so any regular AutoMKV user might confirm this).

I recommend the beta as it preserves your aspect ratio if you select original width (no cropping), without you having to do anything special. Personally I suggest the constant quality profile as simply basing your output size on the length of the movie can be misleading. Some movies compress better without noticeable loss of quality than others (and it may not always be the ones you think). You'll find once your comfortable, and particularly if you keep an eye on the AutoMKV thread, reading what others are doing, you'll likely want to try out a few of the advanced options or filters. As unskinnyboy said, some specific questions can be answered to help you along the way. Last edited by zacoz; 19th May 2008 at 12:32. |
