How is Subler for pulling in chapter titles? This is one feature I really like in MetaX, but I am still using both it and Subler because MetaX (for Mac) can't do the cnid or HD tags.
Got a tip for us?

It is not hard, it just takes time and a lot of hard work, once it is set up and you do it for every thing you import it gets easier. I have about 62 days of music (there is not any singles, only full albums) and every single one has cover art and all the details enclosed. The movies I would have about 120 and the same with them.
Once you do the hard work it is rewarding having all the info there.
Had over 100 until the hard drive with them decided to crash. But I decide to rip them at higher quality now so I'm restarting.
How are you ripping them?
I starting to rip my DVD collection, whats the best way to keep high quality and do it quickly?
Handbrake takes about 2 hours(it could be because I have an older machine tho).

For anybody wanting to use transparency in their iTunes artwork, just to let you know it is now finally working!

Quick question... I've never understood why this appeals to anyone. Don't get me wrong... I think the aesthetic appeal is obvious; but if you buy even one single video from iTunes, etc. your collection is no longer consistent! I suppose you could retag all of those as well, but that just seems like a disaster waiting to happen.
IDK. Thoughts?
I never ever buy from iTunes!
The iTunes artwork is great, if all of your movies are bought from iTunes.
I had just the opposite experience: iFlicks crashes on me too much. Never had a problem with VideoDrive.

Sorry, that makes no sense. It's not hard it's just hard? really?
And it shouldn't be. Look at Plex. Apple has dropped the ball on this one.
Plex is nice but I have found myself correcting a lot of my movies because its wrong. Also I have over 400+ concert rips and Plex does a HORRIBLE job at these and most of the time I cannot even get them to show up in the library. I prefer to use metadata because that way I can tag them the way I want and then iTunes just reads the metadata. I agree it is more work, but I really prefer this way over plex.
The newest version of Plex (available on their most recent Blog post) allows you to edit metadata...
I have been using Identify2, i have done about 420 DVD's so far. They have all been SD DVD Rips using MTR and Ripit and then HB to encode.
Yeah I installed it, but its not reading all the Metadata correctly. I have spent HOURS inside iTunes/MetaX to add in all this info and Plex is not seeing any of it. Kinda pisses me off.
i started the first week of october. Now that my Movies are done (well caught up), time to start on the TV Shows i have about 100 of them.

Awesome. About how long does it take to encode your average DVD on the i3?
But Rip It rips the entire DVD around 8 GB then how do you use HB for Encoding. I can not seem to get HB to rip and encode as I would rather use one application but then again I just started ripping my library, so I am fairly open to any suggestions as I do not have a defined method yet.
With the settings i use (high profile and RF at 19) about 1 hour on average.
Take about 15 min to rip DVD to my HD. I rip about 10, and then load all into HB and let it work on them over night.
Yes, i use ripit or MTR to get the whole DVD onto my computer. Then i load the ripped DVD file into HB and it will suggest what it thinks is the main title and i add that to the HB Queue.
There were i few ripped DVD's that HB failed to find the right title, i think that is because the original DVD was authored poorly or it had a lot of zero length cells. For those few i would run through DETOX to strip out the main feature and then run that through HB.
