Re: Re: blu-ray rips

The crux comes down to whether you want to keep the BD menu structure
or
are you just interested in the main video stream.

I don't have the luxury of tens of terabytes of storage to store DVD and
BD rips, so I rip the main video stream and transcode. With BDs I create
an MKV using a programme called Video.Net. This uses Handbrake to
transcode the file but supplies a very simple UI. The problem with
transcoding BDs into MKV is if you want to have subtitles available as
an option. The only way I have found to have this feature is to create
separate .srt files for each subtitle stream.

There is a programme (and probably quite a few more) called MakeMKV that
will create an MKV file from BD that is not compressed. With one BD
title I own, I used MakeMKV followed by Video.NET. to create the files.
The makeMKV file size was about 25Gb compared to about 4.5Gb with
Video.NET.

I am prepared to sacrifice absolute quality in order to fit within the
current constraints of my server storage.
