RE: Re: blu-ray rips

Thanks Geoff...

I only want the main movie, not the menus, extras, other languages etc.

As for subtitles, I only want them when they are part of the English
language soundtrack, for instance the scenes in Kill Bill, when the
dialogue
switches to Japanese even in the English version, or in LOTR when they
start
speaking Elvish, and so on...

Fortunately, I do happen to have many terrabytes of storage to play with!
:-) - however, since my current main TV doesn't support 1080p (I was an
early adopter, and got a 50" Panny plasma before 1080p was
ubiquitous), I'm
more than happy to drop down to 720p - which is still way better than DVD
resolution...

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.
