Convert DVD/CD to any format with less size - Club CDFreaks

blvijaykumar · 08-09-2007

Could any one please tell me which SOFTWARE is the best to use to rip DVD or CD and convert them to any format like SWF or FLV or AVI or WMV etc., with very less size with out effecting the quality of the movie.

Your help is really appreciated.

Welcome to the forum

Currently the best codec to compress movies with best quality seems to be H264, but movies compressed with this codec can be watched only on a computer (for what I know there are no standalones able to read MKV movies).

This codec, moreover, requires a very powerful computer: as comparison I can say that using my Athlon 2200+ it requires about 40 minutes to convert a 5 min movie from vob (DVD format) to mkv.

thanks. What about the compression and quality

is there any other non-mkv formats (such as avi) that still retain the quality? what programs? Interested in converting larger vob movie files to something that my philips dvd player can read via the usb port. THanks.

Conversion ALWAYS means quality loss.
I would choose xvid as target format.

I did some tests and compressing the same VOB file creating a mkv (with H264 codec) and a XviD of the same file dimensions, the Xvid movie showed an ugly quality compared with the H264 compressed file.
