But honestly - sometimes that’s a pain - you have all those opening trailers etc to navigate through - so unless there are some bonus features that I really really want - I tend not to do this (plus the file sizes are typically 6.5g for a reg DVD as opposed to 1-3 ripped movie only). Those files seem to work fine on the ATV. If I want to rip an entire DVD - I’ve used RipIT. When I use iVI I downgrade BR to 720, with handbrake I’d keep it as is since it does such a good job at shrinking. I tend to favor iVI pro now since with handbrake I have to run it through a second process to encode meta data (using MetaZ). Then I’ll either process that file through handbrake or iVI Pro. I use “SubTitles theEditor” and/or “SubtitlereSync” - both avail on Mac App store.įor Blue Rays I usually use MakeMKV. Unfortunately those SRT editors don’t encode them back into the MP4 so I have to reprocess it - oh well. The times where I see afterwards that the SRT doesn’t match up right, there are a few tools I use for editing it after the fact. If CC isn’t on the original disk - I do a quick download of an SRT and viola - it does it all in one go. Keeps subtitles (either VOB burn or “soft” CC text). It can inject meta data during the ripping process so that saves me an extra step (the meta data search seems damn good - I don’t think I’ve come across a DVD it couldn’t find). For example - a basic DVD I’ll use iVI Pro to rip.
