Re: Turning 5gb movie to 1 (or less) gb

I'm applying your suggestions.
Is there a preset that's already to go with settings that would achieve what I'm looking to do?

Video quality issues after 'success'

Please detail your question or problem in as much detail as possible: I've tried ripping some DVDs for archiving and the video quality turns out bad for the most part. Choppy/digital pixelation or 'digital ghost' images. Tell us about your environment. What version of HandBrake? What version of OSX...

Re: Dish external hard drive

zamboknee, reports on the net indicate that the content on your external HD connected to your Dish PVR is encrypted. You won't have any luck trying to do anything at all with it. This is apparently how Dish was able to provide the USB drive without running afoul of HDCP and copyright requirements. ...

Re: Won't rip DVD

I've always just used Handbrake and the 'normal' setting. As you can see from my original post that doesn't always work out. But as far as my experience, Handbrake has worked 99% of the time.

Re: Won't rip DVD

FYI, I'm able to rip with Aimersoft Total Media Converter but I trust Handbrake so would like to get it figured out on Handbrake.

Won't rip DVD

I've found the right title on the DVD and went through the steps to rip a DVD but when I start, the disc spins, 'encode' starts and within seconds Handbrake pops up with a window that says '....you're finished!'
But it only cooked a file that's a few kb big.
Any idea what's going on?

iPad 1 settings

So the latest version (.0.9.9) has an iPad setting but I'm coming to find that DOESN'T apply to the iPad 1.
Can anyone tell me what settings I should have for iPad 1? Is there a preset someone could share?
Thanks

Re: Dish external hard drive

The only problem with trying it is I'd have to unplug the drive which would restart the dish receiver. I'm willing to try it but wanted to see if anyone had some first-hand experience first.

Dish external hard drive

I have a Dish vip221k that's using an external hard drive for DVR.
Can Handbrake convert these files? Is this as simple as plugging external drive into computer?
Thanks
