2D to 3D BEst profile for best DVD quality Rip

[Muk]

Hi All

A bit new to fab, trying to figure out the best profile for the best rip.

What is recommended as the best profile to get the best quality rip. I'll be using XBMC and VLC to play my files on my HTPC, so playing VOB, AVI or MKV isn't a problem. I'd just like it to have the chapters in video file if possible. File size isn't an issue for me, i'll get more HDD space in any case.

Many Thanks
Muk

An iso image since file size is not an issue.

Sorry should have mentioned I don't want ISO.

I must disagree with my good friend 90312.

I think the MKV container is far superior and you can use it compressed or uncompressed.

The debate on quality is very subjective and really it comes down to what YOU are happy with so I would suggest a little testing before you pour your efforts into encoding your library.

I'd give the mkv.passthrough and mkv.h264.audiocopy profiles a whirl.

I don't think we disagree mate one of his conditions is chapter markers. Are they now available in MKV files? I didn't think they were?

[GregiBoy]

Last time I tested they were.

I also like MKV because I can mux in cover & fanart, info, etc, etc that can be used by XBMC, VLC, YAMJ, Thumbgen, etc.


I'll do a quick one now and yeah, it does.. MediaInfo and player shows that it does.

Menu
00:00:00.000 : en01) 00:00:00:000
00:06:18.000 : en02) 00:06:18:000
00:12:24.000 : en03) 00:12:24:000
00:16:39.000 : en04) 00:16:39:000

Stupid translation of MediaInfo data above!!

[90312]

I use MKV exclusively for my media player, as you can see chapter markers are not a big deal for me. In that case I agree completely MKV is the way to go.

Theirs no MKV passthrough for 3d blu ray movies....

[GregiBoy]

Just not in Fab!!!!

[glenns]

Why not? Fab is Fabulous isn't it?

[GregiBoy]

I would rate it "very Good" in most areas, not "Fabulous"!!

It still has it's shortcomings in some modules, some which have been present for the many years that I have been a user.

For the best DVD quality rip, what not use the profile "vob.passthrough" as playing vob isn't a problem for your device?

[GregiBoy]

Because you cannot mux extra content into VOB's and Chapter Marks are required.

For the best DVD quality rip, what not use the profile "vob.passthrough" as playing vob isn't a problem for your device?

Ok so MKV is the route to go. I know you say I should test but could you give me what setting is the best as a possible reference to work against
