This seems like a bit of a microoptimization if you're just interested in getting a streaming-service-quality level of DVD rip (which is fine by me).
I have no problem with someone wanting the highest quality possible, but for me, I mostly stream videos to a TV or to an iPhone, and unless it's a 4K UHD video (which I still compress to H.265 currently), I'm not too worried about pixel peeping at the quality.
I still watch VHS dubs too, and those have all kinds of crazy artifacts/color issues :)
- Lammy 7mo agoThere's no reason this can't by automated! I have a StaxRip workflow that takes care of everything I mentioned below except for the cropping which tends to be more fiddly — some times larger on the left or the right, or some times including the top and bottom too for e.g. Academy-ratio material that's hard-matted to the DVD res.
