I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, I've changed the script to reflect my system, to no effect. I receive this error message: x264 [error]: can't open file './eqm_avc_hr.cfg' ./ripar: line 81: 7886 Segmentation fault "$HANDBRAKE" $VERB -i "$INPUT" -o "$OUTPUT" -S $SIZE -m $SEGMENT $AUDIO -e x264 -2 -T -p -x $X264ARGS , where 'ripar' is the name I gave to the script. Anyone has a clue about what is going wrong?

Thanks. I am going to try the advanced options that you have for the H.264, is there anything else I need to change to try to match your settings? Do I need to do a custom query? I am just trying to find the best compression with least quality loss. I want to do MKV (H264/AC3). Hopefully this all works. Thanks again for the help. I enjoyed the article. Thanks.

I just installed Handbrake and left it on default...chose FILM and ripped Matrix as a test. DVD contains multiple audio tracks, subtitles, etc....but my ripped .mkv encoded with H264 had no extra audio tracks or any subtitles. But even if this is the best method to rip dvd's....it's probably not until standalone dvd's start playing these formats. I haven't seen any players here in Toronto that can play .mp4 or .mkv extensions. Divx/Xvid, that's it! If there is one, it probably costs a fortune in comparison to a divx/xvid dvd player so no thank you... On a positive note. Handbrake ripped the dvd super fast, with excellent quality. I was playing around with Gordian Knot for a week, trying to get the best results and it cannot compare to Handbrake or Matroska...same file size! If it would keep additional audio and let me select the subs I want it, while maintaining compatibility with today's standalone dvd players this thing kicks ass. Andrew.

One reason is b/c I'd like to either get Apple TV, or a Mac mini to run my collection. The other reason, is that I'm splitting the entire collection with the ex, and don't feel like purchasing all the other movies again. I have Handbrake on my MBP, but I could really use some help on step by step ripping. I'd like to benefit from the closest to original quality I can get, so that I don't view pixelated mosaics on my 46" LCD. Help! I don't know anything about running scripts, and I apologize for my lack of know how, but I beg for assistance! How can I begin ripping the collection? How can I get the best quality? My TV supports 1080P, does it matter in the ripping process? I have 2 1TB external drives, what is the first step (aside from turning on the oven and sticking my head inside)?

You can use exactly the same script to rip BluRay discs. You will only have to fine tune the file size because BluRay movies have bigger frames.
