I know the majority opinion is not to do it for various reasons, but basically I started to backup the majority of my dvd collection that I created over the years since I have the time and they were just collecting dust. Turns out though I guess I’m doing it “wrong” or at least not in the original quality since I used handbrake instead of makemkv. I’m already 160 dvds in and about 40 more to go, is it worth, quality wise, going back and actually ripping? Is there a way to compare them? To clairify, I’ll be using makemkv from now on for the rest.
Handbrake isn’t recommended any more? That’s what I’d used for my ripping. By original quality, you mean extracting the the mpeg-2 or just that Handbrake did bad transcoding?
Yeah Handbrake does fine for my collection. Results depend greatly on what encoding you options you use
