  1. Not sure I understand the question but here goes. I use DVDFab "BluRay Ripper" to rip BluRays directly to a single ".mkv" file. It does no re-encoding just a copy from the .m2ts files(usually is multiple files) to a single ".mkv" file. Although lately (since version 8.0 came out) I've been ripping to a single ".m2ts" file. I haven't bought the DVD portion. At least not yet but when I expand the options on the "DVD Ripper" it looks like it should rip to single files there as well. For DVDs (which I don't buy any more - if I can help it anyway - just BluRays) I'm still using AnyDVD and CloneDVD mobile to rip to single files. I was ripping some dvd's last night and there are multiple settings for mkv. I set it ti remux, which from I read is uncompressed? I want to copy the movies to my unraid without losing quality 1:1. Would the mkv file be an exact copy of the movie? Does mkv stream well to most streaming devices?
  2. You could use the "Ripper" to rip to a single MKV directly in DVDFab. I don't compress mine so I can't say anything about the quality of compression in DVDFab however. Which MKV do you use?
  3. What programs are you using? I am using DVDfab and it rips into multiple VOB files and I need to go back and merge them.
  4. Yeah I have been reading a little bit today and hearing a lot of suggestions of MKV.
  5. I am beginning to rip dvd and blu rays for my unraid server that is being built. I plan on using a PS3 for one room to stream from server. I have some tivos also but have not decided on the streaming device in the other rooms yet. I have ripped a few dvd's already using DVDfab and ripped them into VOB files. I then go back and merge all the VOB files into a single VOB. I would like to get some opinions on what file type to use before I get too involved in the ripping process. I am also ripping cd's and putting them in FLAC. I wonder how much lower quality 320kb MP3 would?
