No, you won't get hit from all sides as it is a valid question but there are a few different answers.
I use MKV as my container of choice. Most modern media players will support this with the exception of the Apple crap, which I recommend that you stay away from anyhow.
I always use the audiocopy feature so that I retain the soundtrack untouched but some media players struggle with the HD MA audio but this is becoming a less common issue.
The video is another kettle of fish though and is very subjective and really depends on the size and capabilities of your display device. There is only really one answer to this and that is your own eyes and what YOU are happy with.
As a general rule thoug, maintain the 1920 width, leave Fab trim off the extraneous black letterboxing and calculate the height. Bitrates, etc are best tested by you. I and others on this forum generally cannot pick the difference between transcodes that we make that are between a half and a third of the original BD size.
Hope this helps.
[QUOTE=RC51Tofuman;118328]I am getting somewhat acclimated to all the functions of DVD FAb....however in some aspects i am a bit confused....and after searching and searching....I can't find the answers.
When I Rip a BD....what is the Best Format AVI, WMV, AVI, MP4 that has the best compatibility with most media players / computers...etc...etc...
Also what is the best settings to use.......when Ripping to these formats with minimal quality loss from the Original Source BD?
Did I ask the impossible? Or should I be prepared to get hit from all sides?
thanks,
