![]() With an upgrade, it will also do the same for HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc. The resulting MKV file is down to 1.33GB from an 8GB ISO, including both Japanese and English 5.1 tracks, subtitles, and chapters.8.6.4.0 (9 February 2023 6 months ago ( 9 February 2023)) ĪnyDVD is a device driver for Microsoft Windows which allows decryption of DVDs on the fly, as well as targeted removal of copy preventions and user operation prohibitions (UOPs). Looking at the log, it took exactly 2hrs and 26mins. It requires downloading separate CLI and GUI files from but isn’t particularly complicated to acquire and set up. It’s not the most recent but it’s newer than the version on the site by 6 or 7 months. Something that may or may not make a difference is that I’m using one of the Nightly Builds. The encodes I’ve done using Normal came out ok (and I think took a little less time), I just wanted max quality for this one as it’s an eye candy film. What kind of machine are you encoding with? My PC is an older E6400 dual core (and it’s maxing out both cores!). I’m running a fresh rip of Final Fantasy VII through Handbrake now (High Profile) and it’s going to take about 2 hours. Most of my rips don’t need to be “perfect”, some do - like lord of the Rings, Matrix - but other kids movies - no. ![]() I may cancel this and try at the “Normal” preset.īut - do you have other suggestions to speed up Handbrake somewhat yet retain decent video ? ![]() I’m using handbrake now and it is taking, what is says, to be 8 hours on the “High” profile setting - which is simply unacceptable. Or create a m2ts file, which doesn’t require converting to burn to a disc (m2ts can also be played by the WDTV Live) ![]() If you decide to go the mkv route, you can burn a disc from the mkv by converting to AVCHD. Here is a great resource of information (dbone from avsforum) Higher end processors can reduce the time required significantly. MakeMKV/AnyDVD/DVDFab and Handbrake are a great combo to retain a high quality mkv. Therefore the time I spend “ripping” is greatly reduced. I just built an UnRaid server, therefore storage space is not as much of an issue, And I want to retain the original disc since I don’t know what TV I will own in the future. anything under 2 gig average per movie is good.Īnd most importantly - IT must work 99% of the time or better. Some things I want to play, tinker, and learn - this I do not. I cannot mess around with multiple steps (2 youngin’s at home) Nothing plays better with the Live (which is why we call it the gold standard). Many of us (most?) use this workflow – rip with DVDFab or AnyDVD, and encode with Handbrake. There is a free trial of AnyDVD and, as I said, Handbrake is freeware, so you really aren’t out anything to give it a shot. My typical encodes are around 700MB for a quality DVD movie (however, I usually encode blu-rays, which are considerably bigger). ![]() It will reduce your DVDs to about 25% of the size of them without changing quality one whit, and you can queue it up so that it will process many of them overnight (so you can rip 10 or so DVDs and have them converted to playable files by the morning). But it shouldn’t scare you – Handbrake just points to the rip and using the High Profile preset (but changing the output type to MKV and passing through the DTS or AC3 audio) is all you need do. You can’t rip directly to MKV (nor can you to AVI) but need to first rip and then process. The Live *loves* MKV containers and it also offers advantages over many (it can hold DTS, sub titles, meta data of all sorts, etc.). The MKV container is relatively new (“new” being a difficult thing to define in this fast paced world – in the last four or five years) but has become widely accepted as THE container type, replacing the cantakerous AVI container (AVI was so ill-defined that it often would not work in many situations). Those streams are encoded (and then decoded – thus CoDecs) in various forms like DTS, AC3, H264. They are sort of a “wrapper” around which the various video and audio streams are inside. ![]()
