Re: Compressing/converting DVDs



For movies I generally compress them as "main feature only"
with
DVDShrink or DVD2One, so that they fit onto a 4.5Gb DVD-R for backup.

For TV series, I compressed to MP4 with Nero Recode at 2Mbps - the
quality is excellent with half the storage requirements of the DVD
version.  I would be tempted to do all my movies this way too, but the
chapters only work when played back with Nero Showtime, not in Media
Center.
