Whats the best dvd copy program that does all in one. Rips, Encodes, and burns. Like DVDShrink on windows for those you use it.
thanks

Use something like handbrake. It encodes into a couple of formats. Using the h.264 gives awesome quality with 700mb movies.derajfast said:how do you make it so that instead of it being in the dvd format with .vob files, you just have it so its one file thats like 700mb big?

derajfast said:so if i use handbrake, it will make it in to 1 700mb video, and not a bunch of .vob files? how long should this take do you think?
50 to 70 FPS? Right now I'm ripping a DVD folder to an H.264 file and i'm only getting 10-15 FPS on a dual 2.0ghz G5. And thats from a Video_TS folder on the hard drive, not a DVD.risc said:It depends on the speed of your machine, I get around 50 to 70 FPS when ripping straight from DVD to xvid on my Power Mac Dual G5 1.8 GHz.

cwright said:haha, i guess i should have figured that out. Any ideas on why the encoder randomly quits?
I havent done much testing yet, but is it worth the extra time to encode in h.264? I would assume so... the short 7 minute clip that i actually was able to encode was amazing quality.
so how does h.264 compare to divx/xvid when it comes to video quality/file size ratio?
cwright said:What settings have you been using? Do you use the default 1000kbps or do you set it to a target size of 700mb? And what about 2-pass encoding? The FAQ on the handbrake website highly recommends it, but is it also really worth the extra time?
cwright said:Just out of curiosity, when you set it to 705mb target size, what bitrates does it usually end up using? When I tried a 1.5 hr movie at 700mb, it dropped the bitrate down to about 650kbps. That seems like a pretty big drop in quality from 1000kbps.
If 1000kbps is much better I would just assume use it instead and make backups on DVDs since they're so cheap nowadays.
cwright said:Have you ever tried making duplicate copies of the handbrake app and having each one encode a different movie at the same time? Is that a smart thing to do? I thought that may be a good way to get them done faster by just letting them run simultaneously overnight.
cwright said:So when only encoding one video it doesnt support dual processors?
If thats the case, can you run two application copies at the same time with no performance hit on either one since each app would use its own processor?
