| | Ripped Movies File Format Discussion All I know that this has been discussed a lot in the past but things move on..  Some members here have very large movie collections stored within internal hard drives and NAS devices. I know that there are many format conversion apps out there but I don't like converting a format unless I have too because of concerns over quality loss - video and audio. Can we have a view on what formats are used and the quality implications for the following set-ups: 1/ Media Center with no extenders - DVD and HD/BD 2/ Media Center with extenders - DVD and HD/BD Regards UKMedia |

| | I don't rip Blu-Ray movies, so I can't comment on format for them. However, I rip my DVDs directly to my WHS, and they play back without any issues on my Windows 7 and Vista computers through Media Center. I rip the entire DVD, as my kids love all the extras that come on the DVD, and I keep things in the standard VIDEO_TS format. No issues with gigabit wired or 802.11n wireless. With 1TB drives so cheap nowadays, I don't even worry about running out of space. |
