If I'm not worng . Only transcode it if you want to reduce the file size . If you do not want to touch the quality keep it as is after ripping

Raw Bluray images are insanely large and unless you absolutely _must_ have that quality, you probably want to transcode them. A single movie comes out to 30GB-80GB while you could drop it to 4GB and not notice any difference likely.

  4GB is too low. If you want quality, at least 10GB for a standard 2h movie is needed.

  Ha ha you’d definitely notice the quality drop at 4GB unless you’re watching on a 1080p monitor that you stole from work or something. At $13/TB (https://diskprices.com/ https://diskprices.com/), I think all of us can afford to keep archival copies of 50GB Blu-rays. That’s like $0.65 (and a little more for raidz) for a new release that would cost you $45 if you bought it retail. Don’t get me wrong, making a 4GB copy is a hell of a lot better than what most people do, just letting the media slowly degrade in a cabinet until it disappears when you move.

  This is inaccurate. A standard dual-layer Blu-Ray disc holds 50 GB. That includes everything on the disc - including special features, vignettes, and any software. The main feature averages 15-45 GB, averaging 30 GB depending on the codec used, with your 80s independent works at the lower end and epic films at the higher end. That's why epic films will usually come split onto two discs, with the special features on the 2nd disc. There is not just a perceptible loss in quality by transcoding, but tools like Handbrake will mangle video in subtle ways - causing a number of minor yet extremely annoying issues such as dropped frames, jerky playback, audio lip sync issues, etc. Lip sync that's off by 50ms is barely perceptible but will drive me insane. All to shave off a few GB? No thanks. Transcoding HD content is just not worth it. It's 2022. Storage is dirt cheap. 4TB spinning rust drives are < $70. If you can afford to buy Blu Rays you can afford more storage. "HD" content from your average streaming service is overwhelmingly compressed to hell and just poor quality. Just because it's a certain resolution doesn't mean it's HD in my opinion. Film grain is not a waste of bandwidth.

  I think if you remove the extra multiple audio tracks and also just downscale the dts-hd or truehd tracks to ac3 5.1 you will save an insane amount of space
