Different strokes I guess, I actually find ripping DVD kind of fun - sort of an opportunity to experiment maybe. :)

- wolrah 4y agoI definitely found it fun, and back then I was working with limited disk space so I enjoyed the challenge of optimizing for quality and encoding speed while still getting the file size down to a reasonable target. I lost interest in HD ripping when it required commercial software to do reliably, the cat and mouse games with the DRM, etc. Combine that with my home server getting in to the multiple terabyte range and my internet connection working its way up to gigabit speeds and suddenly "REMUX" type rips that are the exact A/V content from the disc just repackaged in to a more convenient container became practical. Re-encoding just isn't worth the time or CPU cycles when disk and bandwidth are cheap. The challenge and annoyance went through the roof and the benefits dropped off, so I'd rather put my effort in to something else.
