And if the quality difference isn't perceptible, I think the larger sizes could start to add up after a while.Ĭame across one fundamental problem, at least in my opinion. Not that I care that much about space on my PC, but my 32GB phone literally doesn't have that much space available. I may have to experiment with 2-pass encodings, as one 2-hour disc ended up being 17GB, whereas most are about 5GB - 10GB. Started with the universal preset, then chose constant framerate, constant quality(18), and then I had to turn off create chapter markers, as it would continuously show the chapter number in a big black square on the bottom of my phone screen. The only time I experience screen breakup is when I seek to a random time. I haven't been able to replicate the original glitches I had. If you want to make smaller files, for playing on portable devices, or to save even more space, I would recommend VidCoder, which is a different GUI for Handbrake. You can keep the movie, menus and extras, or just make a main movie only backup. If you want to compress to fit a single layer Blu-ray (most commercial movies are found on double layer discs), I suggest using BD Rebuider, which is a free program that stands head and shoulders above anything else for this task. Once ripped, it depends on what you want to do with the movie as to which program I recommend. You can rip as a main movie MKV file, or rip the entire disc to the hard drive intact if you use Backup mode. I also recommend MakeMKV, which is free to use while it remains in beta. You will need to provide a valid email address to receive the serial number from DVDFab. Passkey works in a similar fashion to AnyDVD HD, though it should be noted that the two programs are not compatible on the same system, and AnyDVD HD will throw a hissy fit if it finds the filter/driver that Passkey installs. Passkey will work with other programs, since it runs in the background, but it also has ripping capability. It is called DVDFab Passkey, and the version you get will come with a serial good for the life of the program, so its not something to lure you in so you have to pay for it later. DVDFab is offering one of their decryption programs for free until December 7th.
