Why spend hours to rip and then days to encode (old C2D) when I can download a 8gig rip in a fraction of the time? So anyhow. I did this with most of my BD titles, especially back before I got my i7. To me, obtaining a digital copy is the same, rather I rip it myself or download it from someone who already has. I could just download all of them via torrents, but most of the older DVD rips all seem to be Xvid or Divx and I believe there are better alternatives out there now (IE h/x264) I don't want to get into a moral fight here. Rips to a *single* VOB (thus saving the step of combining 3-5 VOB's) into a folder structure based off of the DVD title Xyz software picks the longest title (likely to be the main title) What I would like to do is semi-automate the process, at least as far as the ripping is concerned. I'm still trying to see if one produces better results than the other. Right now I'm just ripping straight to VOB, then encoding with RipBot264 or HandBrake.

Currently, I keep bouncing between DVDFab 8 and an old copy of DVD Shrink. I've ripped part of over the years, but I still have ~350 or so that aren't on my media server. So I've finally found the time to start ripping my DVD collection.
