Why use RipIt when HandBrake will do DVD's in one shot? It helped that I had the drive in the iMac and an OWC
Ext. I did mine with 2 Pass, Turbo Pass on first pass and if it was an 1:30 DVD I'd set the file size to about 1500,
I fit was say 2:30 DVD I would set for about 2500 file size. Queue up 2 at a time and let it do it's magic. Now that
I have the third drive, an external Blu-Ray I could do 3 disc in a row. TV series are the biggest pain because there's
a file on each DVD, at least there was on Gilligan's Island the only series I've done so far, that has every episode
in one file. The problem with ripping that file is that you can't pick and choose each episode so you need to queue up
each episode file and let Handbrake do its work, I used 350mb for each Gilligan episode. If you let Handbrake
automatically pick the file size it ends up being like 800mb and I put each size to test with my wife and she couldn't
tell the difference between the large and the small file size.
