What size / res to rip a DVD to ?
Hi Guys
I have ripped DVD's before. But just wanted you thoughts. I age just had arrive in the mail a 2 hour long one sided DVD. What file size / resolution would you go for in today's world. I don't want huge files, but good medium sized.

720p and around 700mb is around the ideal resolution and size to create a good quality DVDrip movie. Anything beyond that falls into the category of HD/Blu-Ray rip.

What size / res to rip a DVD to
Personally, for a 2 hr. film I would go (H.264/AAC) 480p resolution, and 1GB file size, but your preferences may be different to mine.

There's no "ideal" resolution to save videos; it's all up to the individual. So there are three things to consider, IMO:
1. Aspect ratio - important to remain as close to the original as possible, for best quality. 4x3 (almost square) and 16x9 (rectangular) are the most common, but many widescreen videos these days are 12x5 (cropped rectangular). 2. Resolution - the one thing you probably don't want to do is to increase the resolution, because as "ccinny" alluded to, upcoding to a larger dimension often results in a degradation of picture quality, unless you increase the video kbps accordingly (and significantly). 3. Quality in kbps - anything above 3000 kbps is considered HQ, with 6000 kbps being a HD benchmark. Again, depends what you want; if you want to put it on an iPod or iPhone, their standard is somewhere around 650 kbps. IMO, decent quality can be found in the 1000-1500 kbps range. All that being said, to attempt a balance between quality and size, when I encode video, I usually encode to .mp4, using the x264 encoder and a high profile at 5.1, containing the H264 video codec. I usually try to encode to the same dimensions at 750-1500 kbps. That results in a video with pretty good quality, taking up only about 7-9 mb disc space per minute of video. But that's just me...

Everyone knows my rips because my standard is pretty much 592x336/448, 624x352, 608x336, or 720x400...unless it's a 16:9 ratio from the get go and that can stay 720x480. Ideal resolution? The bitrate is what counts in video quality for things of that nature which I would think is your more pressing concern.
I think it's always best to do the 16:9 ratios for rips...when I first started, I was doing 4:3 and I had to up my game. Upsizing a DVD to HD can be done but it's a waste of time.

640x480 for 4:3
720x480 for 16:9 They are the actual real size at which they are encoded in the DVD. The resulting file size is dependent upon what format you choose for the rip (ie: avi, mpeg, MP4, wmv etc.): some formats take up more space than others. Personally, I would suggest avi.

Personally I like the highest quality I can find in any video format. If I see a clip I like posted in 480p, I won't download it before I've searched to see if I can find it in 720 or 1080p, and I'm not too bothered by file size if I like the clip.
But to some extent it depends on the viewing platform. I burn everything to DVD and view on my TV. I think the higher quality really comes into its own on a big screen. Viewing on a smaller probably inferior PC monitor you can't really see all that HD anyway. (mind you I only have a 17 inch PC monitor that is 5 years old - I'm sure PC screens have improved a lot over that time). |
