I want to transfer my 300+ DVD collection to a multimedia hard drive like

http://www.freecom.com/ecproduct_detail.asp?ID=2637

I will need to use some form of compression but don't want to lose quality!...will be playing them on a panasonic Viera 42" plasma.

What sort of compression software should I be using?..and once the device is plugged into the TV how can I make a simple menu so I can scroll through the movies and select them to play?

Anyone already done this?

I'd recommend AoA DVD Ripper, it is the best software I have used for DVD ripping, much faster than any I tested.

To get the best result, you'd better copy your DVDs to the HD in AVI format, using DivX or XviD codec for compression ( Settings > AVI Settings > Video Codec). This useful guide may help you http://www.aoamedia.com/dvd-to-divx.htm

You can try Wondershare DVD to iPod Ripper. It use the latset encode technology H.264,then the conversion quality far from you can image,with just 1/10 of the original size.
you can download free from here

Cheers guys...how does Mpeg4 compare to DivX/Xvid? is it any better a compression format?...for example with using a device like Archos AV700?
