If you want the best quality, plan for the future as well.
Rip using Mac The Ripper to get every bit available from the original source for your archives, and then rip from these using handbrake for AppleTV and iPod. Standards will improve, and you want the best resolution possible to support future standards. Best of all, you can then recycle your DVDs and reduce the clutter.
why rip twice? is handbrake's rip direct from the DVD not as good?
I want good quailty for doing all our DVD's
Where is this friggin' "64 Bit" checkbox everyone keeps talking about?
For HB 0.9.2 on the mac its right in the main window above the tabs, its only enabled when you have the format set to mp4. For 0.9.1 there is a preference you have to turn on in preferences so that it becomes active in the main window.
The reason for this is because back when 0.9.1 was out, almost no device besides a computer could play a 64 bit mp4 file. Now most can. ... or at least the atv can
I don't see any checkbox at all. Under preferences it's there and it says it breaks compatibly for iPod's and Streaming to the Apple TV...is that still true?
I remember seeing a response asking about the PS3. I've tried using various setting and although they work fine on my iMac and iPod, I can't seem to get them to play/stream to my PS3. The PS3 see's the file but won't play it. I get a wrong/incompatible file format. Has anyone had success with a certain setting in handbrake for the PS3? Thanks!

So, what are y'all using for your framerates? I selected "Same As Source". That seemed logical at the time, but I'm afraid I may have misunderstood what this means. The movie I ripped was a little choppy when left-to-right motion appeared on-screen, and sometimes during scene changes.
Thanks.
If the framerate is 29.97 it is a TV show (video) vs. a Movie at around 24. If this is the case, you need to use VFR and deinterlace (I think, I am not at home right now) and your problem should be fixed.
I keep trying to convert episode 1 season 1 of Sex and the City for my girlfriend, but it fails in the same spot and HandBrake crashes. LOL! HandBrake SUUCKS!

I just did a movie and when I click on the movie in finder, it opens Quicktime and the movie is in B&W. I used the Apple TV preset and when I previewed the picture there was color. I haven't tried it yet on the Apple tv but would there be a reason for the B&W when playing in Quicktime? Thanks.
Um, right ... and MKV is not a container ....LOL! HandBrake SUUCKS!
