zenpmd Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 How can I (pretty much) losslessly compress blu rays? At the moment I am pure ripping on anydvd - now need something to make smaller Thanks Benchmark HGC DAC2 / Ncore NC400 / Anthony Gallo Strada 2 / Anthony Gallo TR-3D Sub / Van Damme 6mm Speaker Cable Link to comment
CatManDo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 There is no (pretty much) lossless compression for Blu-ray. Blu-ray already uses efficient compression. If you want to make the files considerably smaller, the quality will degrade. Of course there are plenty of movie downloads available which compress a 30GB movie to 4 or 8GB 1080p MKV files, and the quality might be good enough for most people, but it's clearly not the same as the original disc.

Thanks. Something like 4 or 8 gig would work. How can I do that to my current rips?

CatManDo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 To compress the files from Blu-ray rips, you can use Handbrake, which is free of charge. This will re-encode the video, so it uses a lot of processing power and it takes a while How to rip Blu-ray to MP4 with H264 video using Handbrake HandBrake 0.10.0 / 6759 Beta Claude Link to comment

Bill Lord Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The iTunes 1080p preset in Handbrake. Today, I leave the 25GB MKV file alone and stream and transcode to my Xbox One. Space is cheap. What am I listening to? http://www.last.fm/user/o0obillo0o Link to comment
zenpmd Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 As a follow up to this, if I just want to straight rip a DVD (not a blu ray) whats the best option? What, for blu ray, is the best option for straight copies rather than compression? Thanks!

Skeptic Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Handbrake is lossy compression. Use MakeMKV for lossless DVD/Blu-ray ripping, if you just want to extract the main title and skip all the menus/trailers/extras. MakeMKV can also be configured to convert Blu-ray audio to FLAC, though it's probably only worthwhile to do that with PCM discs. TrueHD/DTS-HD don't compress as well as FLAC, but it takes a long time to save 1-2GB. Link to comment
zenpmd Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Cool, thanks. I assume CloneBD is lossless? Anyone considered that vs mkv? Benchmark HGC DAC2 / Ncore NC400 / Anthony Gallo Strada 2 / Anthony Gallo TR-3D Sub / Van Damme 6mm Speaker Cable Link to comment
