We have the Seinfeld box set. 180 episodes plus many hours of extras.
I began the process of converting them to MKV. First from DVDShrink as backups of uncompressed episodes. Then import the VOBs into a program called Hybrid to convert to MKV. Using a variety of bitrates, I was able to make each ep ~124.6 MB, thus able to fit 36 eps per single-layer disc. Btw, audio I set to a low-ish 64kbps/48khz and it's good enough for us.
All went well for seasons 1-7 -- 28 original discs. For season 8, Shrink couldn't read the disc. DVD Fab Decrypter would crash while trying to copy it. DVD Decrypter on its own couldn't get past read errors.
Then I remembered RipIt4Me. It managed to save everything to enable importation and episodic saving from Shrink. Now, this process takes longer than the previous season discs, but it's not an issue for me.
Without it, my job would be incomplete. Actually still is, I'm yet to start season 9 :) |
