I plan on setting up an MCE server and using my XBOX as a media extender. All the hardware is in place, just some minor software tweaking left.
Now, I'm just working out what settings / software to use for archiving my existing dvd collection to the server. I'm not too worried about space, a couple of gig per movie is not a problem at all, what I am concerned about is quality. I'd like near lossless if possible. I've been mucking around with Magic DVD Ripper, and some others, but I haven't nailed it down yet.
Anyone else doing or have done such a thing, and what codec / software / settings did you use and why?
Thanks for the info, and I'll continue reading up on doom9.net as well, but it would be good to have someone firsthand.
Oh, and I don't mind actually paying for good software to use, so commercial products are ok too.
