But all of that HandBrake stuff is another story. But I can't use HandBrake to rip the Blu-ray properly either because their output MP4 generated from ripping this Blu-ray won't play in Windows Media Player for some reason. So, what Blu-ray ripper program would be best to create a good-quality, decent file size (- hopefully under 5 GB -) MP4 file from my BR disc? I think the actual size of the M2TS containing the movie is 18.4 GB, if that helps.Īnd what quality setting should I use to make it the best size without losing much picture quality? (I know HandBrake, for example, says for BD we should use RF 22 +/- 1. You can read about that in the first post.) (The problem I had with DVDFab and the space on my HDD(s) was that it ate about 8 GB after the ripping process and wouldn't free it right after the program was closed. The quality of the output file was not satisfactory to me (- see above, when I said there was slowdown during playback -), though, which is why I want to try a new ripper, but I don't think that was caused by any kind of lack of space.

Well, actually, I had 12.2 GB free on the C drive and about 20 GB free on another external drive.īut, because DVDFab was saying that the output would be 4.5 GB, which it was, I wanted to create that file on the Desktop.Īnd the file fit on the drive, so everything was cool as far as that's concerned.
