I am ripping my DVD's to HDD to play through a Media Server. I have no trouble ripping DVD's to digital files. I would like some advice on the best format to save the ripped file in from a quality perspective (i.e. MPEG2, AVI, Divx, etc.). Also, in your opinion, what is the best quality software (free or paid) that provides the best quality output for this format. Thanks for any help that can be given.
I assume that "untranscoded" means not using the transcoding process to go from MPEG2 to AVI, DiVX, etc.? When I use a program like DVDCopy to convert DVD files to MPEG2 is that transcoding? Finally, is there quality variation amongst the "rippers" that would make you reccommend some rippers over others? What are the ones providing the best quality (free or paid). Thanks so much for all of your help.
