DVD ripping

Postby [SoC]GHOST » Tue Mar 30, 2010 11:31 am

What would you all recommend for ripping DVDs to hard drive? I want to eventually put all my discs on computer for a media center setup. I would like to maintain close to dvd quality and 5.1 since it will most likely be streamed to my tv. Also any suggestions for how much space I might need. I don't have a large collection, but what would be a good starting size for storage?

If your playback software can playback from .iso images I would suggest a 1TB hard drive and just rip them all to .iso images.

I'm gonna use media center to playback the video, I'm not sure what format it supports. I will have to look it up.

DVD Fab. It will rip Blueray also. I am a fan of .AVI or XVID but I am a little more conscious about space. Very easy interface and it works with XBOX and WMC. Also ANYDVD is a nice tool to have.

Also a nice media center for the PC is XBMC. Very clean interface.

Or if you decide to use your PC as a DVR BeyondTV is pretty slick for a Windows environment.

I actually have DVDFab and love it, although its a hacked copy. I wanted to buy the legit one, but its not the suite like I have now, its only the individual modules.

This is probably a dumb question but I will ask just to reassure what I already think, but is a processor with virtualization required to run a 64 bit OS, if it has 32 bit apps that run on it. I'm thinking that the OS handles this without regard for the processor. I was going to buy a quad for my machine and its running 64bit.

No, only requirements are a 64bit CPU, virtualization only comes into play when running a virtualized enviroment.

And Microsoft has dropped the need for chips capable of virtualization to use it.
