    DVD....archiving

    Ok...so ya have a lot of DVDs. You don't want them to get all screwed up by taking them in and out of the case and in and out of the player etc etc etc.

    So..you get this idea of somehow transferring the data on the DVD on to your hard drive. Simple enough, right????


    Apparently not......


    I've been trying Daniusoft's DVD ripper, but I run into a problem trying to rip TV show episodes. MASH and Hogan's Heroes are just two examples. They are 4:3. When I rip them, they come out stretched so everyone looks fat. Also, it seem I can only do MPEG-2. Nothing else will play via WMP or the PS3.

    Anyone have experience with some good SW????

      HDDs are so cheap nowadays... why should i divx/xvid them?
      all i do is remove unnecessary languages/subs/menus with cloneDVD. when i come upon a DL DVD, i try to compress it so it eventually fits on a single layer disc in case i want to burn it.
      ratdvd and dvdshrink work fine if you want to save space.

        AnyDVD and Nero make a very nice combination as well.

          DVE Fab Platinum will let you control the process. I use it to edit out all the menus, languages, subtitles, etc. When I get a DL that is still too long, I split it onto two standard DVDs. I prefer doing this over compressing. I don't like artifacting.

            I see where some of you are going, but I don't want to burn back onto a DVD. The programs mentioned do not allow for the DVD to be ripped to a file that can be played by the PS3.

            The thing I'm running into is that for some reason, the ripped file isn't the same as the DVD.....the aforementioned DVDs of TV shows in 4:3.

            I still wonder if I'm losing quality as well.......

            Unless I'm doing something wrong.......which is quite possible.

              What file format does the PS3 take? Nero Recode can convert it to many different file types.
