cdburner5911 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) So i have a media center computer set up, and I am not sure of exactly what software to use, i was thinking Power DVD 9, but I'm more of asking what is a good ripper, I am going to rip blu-rays and DVDs. power DVD is supposed to build a library out of ISO files, but using the trial, i have had no luck less importantly, is there a way to have the library biased interface using AVI files, so i can compress HD movies to not 80 gigs a piece? Thank you Connor Edited April 7, 2009 by cdburner5911 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I'm not really sure what you mean by the "libary" stuff and I'm also not experienced with HD-DVD or Blu-Ray personally, but I can tell you how I do DVDs. You can rip DVDs with programs like CloneDVD2, DVD Shrink or maybe even Nero, ImgBurn or BurnAware, but I've never tried ripping DVDs with those because the first two work fine for me. Those programs can rip to either .iso format or the VIDEO_TS style file format. I generally do that latter. Once you've got that you can compress it with AutoGK as much as you want so that solves your problem with file sizes. The end result of that will be an AVI file of the movie compressed to the size you want (either by % of original or to a specific file size of your choice).

cdburner5911 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 library, like windows media player, you have a list of movies, instead of having to go to my computer, D drive, movies, ect. i would like to have them in one list and thank you, I will give those a try Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Oh. That library thing was pretty confusing because it really doesn't have anything to do with ripping. Once you rip and compress/encode your movies, you can add them to any "library" you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdburner5911 Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 ok, so does anyone have any experience with Blu Ray? I have been looking at software, and there is an overwhelming amount software. I am intending this computer for getting movies from netflix, couple of clicks (less important part) then the movie is on my hard drive, in a format that is less than 10-ish gigs, and to have the movies in a list, like in powerDVD would be nice, but i just cant seem to find a good combination sofar But from the research i have done sofar it seems like anyDVD HD is the standard ripper, but for blu ray it outputs an 88 gig file so anyone who has an operational Media Center, your recomendation would be much apreciated thanks, cdburner5911 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
