![]() ![]() You re-encode because it saves disc space, because it plays better, and because it streams better (all without losing quality). The previous poster is referring to doing something that will not re-encode blu-rays – it is totally unnecessary (if you aren’t going to re-encode you don’t need ANY other software, just rip the largest MT2S file to your hard drive and you’re done – it will contain all the stuff you need including subtitles). It isn’t a very big file, so if you want to send me a private message with your email address I’ll send the zipped version to you. Unfortunately they’ve removed the snapshots – I don’t know why, except they may be close to a final new release. Have you got a direct link, or is it possible for you to make the latest snapshot available at your web server? No snapshots … the main download page i look at is, and searching for it within the HandBrake page just reveals this: which announces “no snapshots”. Even on my 9’ HD projection unit I cannot tell the difference between the original and the encoded movie using the High Profile during A/B tests. Blu-ray encodes are *vastly* oversized, in effect “wasting” large amounts of space. And even with that preset the quality is very very good (not *quite* up to my standard, but I have very high standards:>). Using the standard preset will shrink the movie further – around 20% further. I only have 5.1 now but like you, hope to some day have. Ive done this on a few new 4k UHD discs of mine. Of course ensure you select that same audio track in Makemkv when ripping. A movie that is comparatively “scrubbed” (like animated movies) can be less than 1.5GB per hour. Youll need to select the TrueHD/Atmos audio track and ensure its set to pass through when encoding in handbrake. With x264 especially, if it is forced to too low of a level, it will tag the file as such, but other settings can make it. Also, make sure handbrake is set to 'auto' for the 'Encoder level' (x264 settings) or 'Encoder profile' (x265 settings). A movie with a lot of grain in it (like The African Queen, or Saving Private Ryan) might well clock in at 8-11GB an hour. Re: Processing UHD rips with Handbrake or other software. I use the High Profile strictly, and movies encoded at that rate average around 3.5GB per hour of movie. Just a sidenote question: The resulting MKV file from this 2.5h movie is around 4.8GB in size … it sounds a bit small? It this correct?ĭepending on how it’s encoded that size seems fine. Also I’d recommend VLC for playback (with it you can playback the m2ts files to examine things more closely if you need to). Those blus with episodes (like TV shows) you’ll need to rip each m2ts file separately (you can use BDInfo still to find out what’s what). This will work on everything, I promise (I’ve ripped over 200 blu-rays with zero difficulties, including proper playback on the Live). IN those bases BDInfo will identify the playlist file, which you should load into tsMuxer and remux into a single TS file, which you then use in Handbrake. That’s about it except for those occasions when the largest m2ts file is NOT the movie. Use Handbrake to encode said m2ts file into MKV, using the High Standard preset (except change to MKV container for type and pass through either the AC3 or DTS audio track). Use BDinfo to examine rip to see what is the movie file (usually largest m2ts file in STREAM folder) Rip blu-ray to hard drive with AnyDVD HD. Nothing free works as well and as consistenly and is constantly updated). Let’s recap real quickly here (all software is freeware except for AnyDVD HD, which is HIGHLY recommended. In this video, I demonstrate how to rip a DVD or Blueray to your hardrive using the software Make MKV and Handbrake. I’m going to have to write up my workflow and post it on one of my web sites. Once the beta period ends, only the DVD-ripping will be free.Sigh. The Blu-ray ripping functionality is only free while the software is in beta so grab it while you can. MakeMKV is available now for free while in beta. If space is a concern, or you want to put a copy on your Apple TV, it's possible to use previously-mentioned Handbrake or Video Monkey to transcode into a lower quality (but still excellent) file. While this is useful for those of you with a farm of terabyte-sized drives at your disposal, for others, a lower quality backup is acceptable. Macworld's test resulted in a file nearly 32 GB in size as compared to the original 35 GB on the physical BD. This is currently a bit of a novelty in most Macs being that Steve Jobs considers the whole thing a " bag of hurt." However, if your system meets the hardware requirements, you're ready to go off on your first Blu-ray ripping journey without the typical mess involved. You know that it's possible to backup your CDs with iTunes and your DVDs with Handbrake, but what about that new Blu-ray disc (BD) you just received during the holidays? Macworld has a good write-up of a beta utility called MakeMKV that will rip both DVDs and BDs to perfect quality MKV format.īear in mind that this will require having a connected or internal Blu-ray drive that can read said discs.
