Keep in mind, if your TV for instance is maxed out at 720p, then using 1080p as a video format is a waste of time and space.Ĭan linux play blu-rays? Yes, SMplayer, VLC, etc. Most people would be happy to watch a high quality DVD at 480p at 25fps, but I can easily tell the difference from that and 720p, or 1080p, etc. If you peruse, "troll", some of the torrent websites, and some video editing sites, you will see what they consider good (480p), better (720p), & great (1080p, 1080i, or higher "4K") digital video file resolutions and video file formats that people from all over the world use everyday. The higher the video resolution (quality & fps), the larger the video file size will be, and the longer it will take to convert or digitize. You will have to try various options to see what works best for you. The quality and resolution options are pretty much up to you and your vision, and your purpose for digitizing your video discs ( Backup, home media server, smart phone, game consoles, portable video device, etc.), and what you will watch the videos on. I have some links that I will share below, where people use "makeMKV" to rip the DVD/Blu-Ray, then use Handbrake to shrink it further. "Handbrake" works well, but it cannot handle the encryption sometimes. The excellent "makeMKV" works great on Linux too. Then there was a bit of bother with the free license key for the beta at about the same time I realised that the Linux version of Handbrake will rip DVDs with copy-protection.

Probably too much detail and fussy wondering for most I suppose but you never know where you're going to happen upon people with the same obsessions. I think I've seen that some DVDs of TV shows have a bitrate of something like 5000, by contrast, and I'm inclined to think it shows, although I have come to see since beginning my tinkering and scrutiny that DVD is a pretty unflattering format. I've seen no discussion on my interest online and wonder if anyone has been on a bit of a journey using their own experiments towards finding how much data can be discarded without being noticeable. How far might a 9800 bitrate be reduced in Handbrake before an mp4 or mkv file has lost anything the human eye can detect? Emphasis in tutorials and articles seems more on being economical with drive space and so on. After I bought my first big hard drive I was tempted to re-rip my CDs as flac but couldn't get past the thought that it was pointless, which colours my ideas about DVD.Īnd then, I think about mp3 files and how many argue, and as seems to me, that a 320k mp3 is missing effectively nothing the human ear can detect, even if the notion of compression offends some music lovers. If I set 9800 as the bitrate in Handbrake and pick the 'film' and 'high' settings in the Video tab, will I effectively get what MakeMKV would retrieve from a DVD? I see in the 'Constant' option as opposed to average bitrate, choosing to set the dial in the extreme right position can mean a file drastically bigger than the source - but is there a setting on that dial that equates to lack of compression or lack of inflation, or is it just not consistent enough to ascertain what setting you'd need there? I'm just thinking that the algorithms used are presumably something like as intelligent as those used in DVD production and that a DVD ripped at the bitrate's source should be not far off being as good as the contents of a DVD saved in the mkv container. Say for example I have a film I can ascertain has a bitrate of 9800, which fluctuates anyway. I've just been wondering as of this week about the possibility of using Handbrake to effectively do the work of MakeMKV. I had ripped all my DVDs using MakeMKV, initially using the Windows version until I went pretty much Windows-free.
