Never been heavily into encoding so used Handbrake / Vidcoder in the past but recently have started backing up my DVDs after a 3 week crash course in avisynth for an old VHS restoration project. Thought I'd give Ripbot a try as I'd had it lying in a folder for a couple of years and just realised it uses some of the avisynth plugins (is that the correct term for it?). Personally, I use makeMKV to rip the DVD then ripbot to re-encode to x264 and the results are far better video quality and smaller filesize than earlier mentioned programs. I'm deinterlacing Interlaced source (I'm in UK so PAL format), Ripbot crops correctly, then I use MDegrain1 / 400 on all my DVDs with CQ=20, Main 3.1, Slower and yielding around 1GB per hour of film. This is my goto encoder for now. |
