Yo, I…allegedly…dl’d a rip of a Richter all Brotha recital from the 70’s. It was all VOB files. Didn’t know what to do with them until I read Handbrake can combine them and convert to mp4. at 576 and 25fps…it took 40 plus minutes to convert the hour-ish recital (at the highest quality setting).
I use MAKEMKV. It kinda keeps the data the same and nits the chapters together for you.
oh…I convert to mp4.
Is Matryoshka a better format?
Its basically a different wrapper so leaves the data the same. MP4 will save you space for sure. If I do mp4 I usually just throw the MKV into Davinci resolve. It makes it easy on export settings to pick what you want and at what bitrate etc.
MKV is lossless?
yessir!
Oh, then I’ll redownload and redo.
It does DVD and Bluray. Never ripped a bluray but gonna try when I get the Ho TV concert. Allegedly
@ElGordito Do you know which of these I should choose for this DVD5 rip? I know it should be 576p25, but which of the Codecs is da best?
Chose H.265…cuz it apparently has a more efficient compression algo. VP9 encodes the audio in some weird format.

Depends… I just keep resoluiton the same so it doesn’t do amacha scaling in place of something better (i use topaz for that). Target bitrate gonna have more to do with quality than the compression wrapper I think. H. 265 probably most universally readable one and does a good job bringing size down.
I kept the bitrate the same as the info presented on the rips rootractor page.

Something is off. The 4.5GB VOB folder turned into a 459mb mkv file. The mp4 conversion was like 2GB.
@ElGordito Do you know what could be off?
Not sure… I dun know how most video stuff works yet tho.

Allegedly found a DVD of paderewki playing Hungarian rhapsody no 2. Cooked it last night. Not sure I want to mess with audio. I can’t pitch correct without a piano cuz I got tin ears.
