Compressing your DVDs and blu-rays (not a question but an answer)

Handbrake is a piece of garbage !  If you do not notice the visible loss in quality on your big screen LCD, especially considering your SD is being upscaled, then you have eye problems and need to go have them checked STAT !  handbreak is a piece of garbage, stop trying to spread rubbish - any form of compression results in loss of quality.  Handbreak is poor, there is a significant amount of grain and artifacts on the resulting compressed file, no matter what preset you use and no matter what rate you use, even your suggested setting provides a significant loss of quality and grainy video scenes that looked perfect on original DVD.

I would advise against using that piece of garbage of a software, it’s mediocre !

You’ll get much better results using ratDVD, if only WDLive supports that format, but from what I was told the WDLive will be phased out in a month, no more upgrades - will have to buy a new physical revision.

Unbelieavble.
