The quality will still be the same you'll just have the burden of having to rip massive unencoded raw dump files and the time to recompress it.

  The recompression is a lossy step which you do not incur when extracting the already compressed data from BDs or VoD streams.

    Yeah, better grab the already compressed copy and extract it without recompression and the DRMs.
