AVI being a container format, as well as MKV and OGM, etc all leave you with secondary decisions to figure out which compression you want for the audio and video streams, so it's not as simple as 'I want to rip my DVDs, how do I do it?' what specifically do you want to end up with in terms of the final file format, and then you can choose which program to use for the end result. You can convert the DVD content to anything these days: DivX, XviD, 3gp, QuickTime, h.264, MPEG1, etc etc. I still haven't seen a solid answer regarding what you want to end up with because just saying some other format isn't an answer. I know that DVDShrink can back up my DVDs by just reading them directly off the DVD itself in the drive, but that takes 10x longer to do (even with my Plextor 18x with SpeedRead enabled) than the process of 'rip the DVD to the hard drive' and then crunch it from there. When I personally say 'rip a DVD' I always make sure to say 'rip a DVD to the hard drive.' and continue on from there.

Ripbot264 supports DVD/Blu-ray as an input whereas Handbrake only supports DVD so in order to import the Blu-ray into Handbrake the easiest way is through MakeMKV (OSX version available) which rips the movie to an MKV container (with its original video) just make sure the audio track ripped is regular AC3 5.1 audio not the HD variant or HD DTS as Handbrake cannot handle those.Įdit: Oh yeah one last thing watch out for in Ripbot264 is its 'Please Wait: Initializing' phase after pressing start it may look like nothing is happening or its stalled but after a few minutes it should actually start the conversion, it's something do with the audio length of the source video (the shorter the audio track the shorter the delay).The term 'ripping' gets used basically to mean taking DVD content and turning it into something else, not just copying the content to a storage device (decrypted, of course, if it was originally encrypted).

You can do AAC 5.1 in MP4 containers but I've no idea how the ATV decodes that or if it could decode as PCM 5.1 with a compatible receiver like the PS3 does. Your other option would be to use the MKV container instead in Ripbot264 to keep the Dolby AC3 5.1 audio track (if thats important to you) and just play it in XBMC under the ATV, you wont need any extra hardware. I meant that Ripbot264 only supports MP4 as an output for the AppleTV it also does MKV + AVCHD as outputs whereas handbrake does MP4/M4V and MKV. Perhaps a good point to start with would be the AppleTV setting and just up the resolution to 720P?

I realise that 720p is the highest possible resolution (but since my TV is 720p that isnt an issue) but what other settings would I need to change? Bitrate? The Hassle-Free Guide to Ripping Your Blu-Ray Collectionīut what I wanted to check is does anyone have any advice on the best settings to put in Handbrake so that it is compatable with the AppleTV? When convering my DVD's I use the Universal setting so I can use the file on my appleTV and Ipod Touch, but the Blu-Ray rips I would like the best output possible and I am not fussed about being able to playback on the iPod!

I have found this guide which explains how to rip Blu-Rays with Handbrake: Now I am aware that with XBMC and a Broadcomm Crystal HD will allow me to watch the BluRay ripped disk without encoding but to be honest after playing with the AppleTV I am actually quite happy with the standard OS, and although I may hack it so I can use the USB slot to add an external Hard Drive I dont think ill be using XBMC at the moment. Wanting to get peoples thoughts on this! Im looking to rip my Blu-Rays (and HD-DVDs, tho maybe ill start a new thread when I get to that!) onto my PC and then encode them so they are 720p and can play on the Apple TV.
