RE: Compressing/converting DVDs

And that's the same problem I have - I'd like to use Media Centre as
the
front end. So I'm really after something that is about 1-2GB file size, but
retains chapters...

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.
