Hi all. I have recently decided to rip my entire dvd collection to my file server for my htpc and other computers in the house. Originally before I decided to do all of my movies, I was doing a few using Handbrake. When I did this, I was able to get dvds between 1 and 2GB with exceptional video quality. However, when I played these files using XBMC, some of them gave my sync issues where over time, the audio and video sync would become greater and greater until I had to eventually pause and play the movie to get it synced again only for it to do the same thing after a while again. I then started using makeMKV which just muxed the dvd to mkv create a large file size. I ended up doing this for all my movies but I am not concerned about file size since blu-rays take up anywhere from 20 to 40GB uncompressed. I have seen people with compressed versions of blu-rays that are only 10-15GB with almost identical quality as uncompressed.
My question is the best program and settings for compressing video to maintain quality and what has worked for some of you in your experience of compressing video?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
