Make sure to let Handbrake take care of the Cropping Automatically so that your computer isn’t encoding Black bars at the Top and Bottom or Left and Right of the video. Normally, I’m ripping a Blu-ray and I want Blu-ray quality so I set the Anamorphic to “Loose” and Modulus to “2” because I want all my pixels. The first tab is the Picture settings, which is one of the easiest for me to set up to my liking. Whereas the Foreign Language Subtitles show up by default so that I’m not guessing what they’re saying in a different language. This way if want the watch the video without audio, or if one of my Deaf Friends is watching, I can enable it and enjoy the video. When ripping a video you need two Subtitle tracks, one for Foreign Languages and the other for full subtitles. I use MKV for one reason because MP4 cannot handle multiple Subtitle files. Otherwise, I would never get anywhere trying to rip my Blu-rays because the files would be corrupted. I’ve been doing this for years with great success, but only recently have I found all the settings that just work better than the rest.įirst up, get the program AnyDVD (RedFox instead now) so that you can get past the encryption on the Blu-ray. I compress Blu-ray, or DVD, using the H264 format into an MKV (Not Mp4 and I’ll explain why in a bit) video file. To get around all these problems I’ve turned to ‘s used Blu-ray’s and two programs, and RedFox to solve nearly all of my problems. My final point that they don’t know what they are doing, is that it is easier to torrent a film rather than to obtain a legal copy.

As a proof in point, the newer HBO series Silicon Valley is a company that has some extremely good compression logarithm. As far as I’m concerned, there is no reason not to compress data.

I can compress Blu-rays down to 1.6GB on average with a nearly unnoticeable quality loss. When it comes to Google Play and iTunes the prices these companies charge for movies is bloated at best in my opinion.

In my opinion, the movie corporation needs to wake up to the 21st century and realize that formats like DVDs and Blu-rays are dead.
