Hello,

What's the best open source DVD ripper?.

I like the Matroska format (MKV). I suggest that people ripping in this format than post an ISO image, it's good, high cuality, and lower weight.

Post a thread to learn making a HD ripping video, o let me an old thread to explain this.

Thank you ! Arigatou ! :evil:

What's the best open source DVD ripper?.
Most of the high quality rips on this site are made with MeguIV. The easiest way to make a high-quality rip is to follow the instructions in that thread. MeguIV is Rollyco's tweak of meGUI. meGUI is an integrated front-end for a collection of ripping and encoding tools. However, use MeguIV unless you're an expert.

The Matroska format does not affect quality. Read that again. Matroska is a container, it is just a 'bag' to hold the video and audio content together. People use it because it is flexible.

There are two reasons why some rips are high quality and some are not:
(1) Main reason: deinterlacing. DVDs and some Blu-rays are interlaced. The better rips here use high quality but slow methods to deinterlace. The poor rips use simple, fast and ugly methods instead
(2) Second reason: the H264 video codec. This is probably the best compression format for video - it can create smaller files with high quality. Most MKV files here contain H264 video content

MeguIV uses good deinterlacing and the H264 codec, so it produces high quality rips.
