Hi all,
I started to rip my blu rays to my media drive using both MakeMKV and Handbrake.
Q) What are the best settings people use for having the best quality with a small file size, specifically for a blu ray 1080p rip with 7.1 surround sound?
e.g. I ripped Incredibles 2 within 30 hours using the settings quoted below, managing to reduce the file down from 24.6GB to only 5.24GB.
