I feel that as a forum we should develope a community standard. ive begun to rip my movie collection to my hard drive, but each one is about 5 gb which is far. also takes clost to 5 hours to encode.Īs soon as i get my new computer i will be ripping at higher levels but i do that for now so that they play well on my older iBook. an hour and 1/2 film takes up about 550MB with an average data rate of 778kbits/s. i have the audio at 160k and the video at 512x224. You can also do this via the 'Open Source' button in the app's upper left corner, or by simply dragging a video file onto the app. Right now i am encoding my movies with handbrake in MPEG-4 with AAC audio. When you first open HandBrake, it'll prompt you to browse for the jumbo-sized video you want to diminish.

i know there is no such thing as being future proof, but it would be nice to not want to re-rip them every 3 months I cant wait for someone (hopefully Apple) to release a good online movie store, as i will rip all my movies according to how they have encoded theirs, just because i want my stuff to be compatible in the future. It's mostly for movies sources that are already in high bitrate, high quality like bluray copies, or movies you shot with your digital camera with 25mbps or higher bitrates. Right now we are stuck with so many different file formats and ratios and sound formats that it really makes it kinda difficult. So if you're constrained by some things (for example your video must have a bitrate of 6 mbps or less), then it makes sense to enable that if it helps with more quality. Choose the file in question in the File Explorer. First, we click the Source button on Handbrake, and then Open File. MKV file, around twenty-one minutes long, and weighing in at just over 220MB.

it is also easy for me to hook up my ibook to a tv to watch them (i dont own a standard dvd player *gasp*) I think this is only going to become more popular as time goes on. So, let’s first choose the file we want to downsize and get started. I like the convenience, and I like not having to have to go through all my dvds and see what i want. If you are like me then you would like to have a nice stash of your movies right there on your computer. PLEASE NOTE: We are talking about movies that you own. Much like music, i think people have different preferences in how they rip their media. I know that these threads get repeated over and over again, but there is some validity to them.
