DVD-Rip. What size?
So, I'm sitting here with the Family Guy Vol. 1 DVD set in front of me and I wonder to myself "What size should I rip this shit to?"
Well, I dunno. It all depends on how much hard drive capacity I have in my file server, and if I care about how it will look when I play them on my future LCD or plasma. First: my server. I currently have 2 X 250GB in RAID-1 configuration. So it's just 250GB of usable space. I don't care to trust my hard work, time and memories to $70 worth of hardware. The least I can do is double my chances and RAID the drives. I still have room for 5 more drives in this bitch, so technically space won't be much of an issue (as much as the cost of that shit! arg). LCD/Plasma display: Haven't decided on which one yet, but that doesn't matter now. It'll be a 1080p display because it's the latest shit. Can a computer's video card even output 1080p? Anyway, the higher the resolution of the video, the better it will look. So, a normal DVD is between 4 and 8GB. Is there a formula based on length of film and file size that I should use? Should I just limit everything to 2GB? Input would be great. Edit: I guess I should mention that I'll be encoding with H264. Jam it back in, in the dark.
