I have a DVD collection of roughly 350 movies and growing. I am currently about to embark on a project to encode the complete collection and put them on a file server which I can access sitting on my couch. My question is which codec will give me the least compression and look the best on a 73" 1080P TV. I don't care how much space the file takes. I also don't care how long it takes to encode each movie. I understand that when you transcode something there is going to be some amount of quality loss so I am not expecting a miracle. What i am tring to do is keep that quality loss to an absolute minimum.
Got a tip for us?

I am thinking about connecting a Mac Mini to my TV for play back but that isn't set in stone.
