Ripping DVD/Blu-Ray collection ???

I've begun to Rip my DVD collection (and a few Blu-Ray's) to use with Plex. Before I get WAY too far into this project, just to find out I'm doing something wrong, I thought I'd see if any of y'all have advice for me.


Here's what I'm doing so far: -Ripping with Handbrake -With DVD's, I choose the "Super HQ 480p30 Surround" preset. -I double check that I have the best Audio Tracks selected. If available, I rip AC3 5.1 and AAC downmixed to dolby pro Logic II. Of course I prefer DTS if available.


I have a dedicated 4tb drive that I'm doing this all on. Quality is a concern for me, however I wonder if I am ripping too many audio tracks. Should I just be ripping the best audio track and leave it at that? Say I only Rip a DTS track, but a friend with a lackluster amp tries to watch my ripped movie? Will they be able to get any sound? I'm hitting approximately 3-5 gigs per movie. Is this reasonable? Or should I be trying to save space by not ripping so much audio?


Also, Since the source of DVD's isn't any higher than 480p, I'm assuming that's what I should be ripping at? Handbrake doesn't do any upscaling, does it? If it does, is it worth it to upscale there, or let my projector do it? (My projector is a Benq w710st...don't know if it upscales or not to be honest. But it's only 720p, so the 480p source doesn't look bad at all on it)


I think those are the main questions I have for now. I may think of a few more in a bit. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer!

House rule #1: We don't discuss ripping here.

Nog niet gesloten deze topic & gebruiker nog niet gebanned??? :???:

Topic bij deze gesloten. Bannen is wat overtrokken, de gebruiker is niet Nederlands en daarom waarschijnlijk niet direct op de hoogte van de belangrijkste regels (we hebben de FAQ niet in het Engels opgesteld).
Werner geeft aan dat we het hier niet over rippen hebben en ik neem aan dat topic starter hier nu van op de hoogte is. Mocht het nog een keer gebeuren dan wordt het evt. tijd om actie te ondernemen.
