DVDCatalyst seems lovely and currently there is an discounted offer on. My question is however what is the file size (aprx) for the if I rip a DVD around and hour and twenty mins?
I understand why DC have given 25 mins, but I'd like to know if it comes out around a gig for a film length as stated above. |

On the file size, it's totally configurable. You can choose compression methods and bitrates for both audio and video and create (or select) a preset that gives you the file-size/quality balance you want. For myself, I usually pick settings that make a typical feature film to come out between 500-700MB. I end up with a file small enough to carry several on my portable devices, and clear enough to watch on my 32" TV. Not HD quality, but anything better than VHS quality is adequate for my purposes. |

I typically have 2-3 digital copies of some of my DVDs depending upon the device they'll be played on. Works out pretty well. Last edited by WillysJeepMan; 11-20-2012 at 10:29 AM. |

I downloaded software from the handbrake page, but it was a trial and was not free. I've already uninstalled and cannot remember the name. I checked the price before doing anything with it. $50. So I uninstalled and didn't bother to use with watermark. This was from a link posted in this thread.
I just did a search for handbrake and downloaded another one, but the set-up file won't open. Many of the software sites are misleading, saying free and not giving prices before I find out it's a trial. I have purchased a number of other converting software packages that I no longer use, including imtoo for avi to dvd. I also have an old version of Nero, but it does not convert formats. If I have to pay $40-50, then I don't really need to watch my dvd movies on my KFHD or ipad. |

Yes, my Kaspersky protection is keeping it from opening. It says it has adware on it.

If you have a lot of dvd's and want to do it in the fastest way to create the most efficient results. I would use dvdfab with core AVC, using Nvidia card acceleration called CUDA. But use CUDA through core AVC settings not CUDA directly as it would overheat your CPU. Output to MP4 or MKV depending on Moi.

I can't seem to get Handbrake right.
Normal 1hr and 30min DVDs are coming out of 2gb bordering on 3gb Can anyone please share their settings so I can get this hit on the head? I'd like to get it sorted by tomorrow morning tbh as I'm planning on ripping 3 or 4 DVDs to drop a movie on their KindleFireHDs and pack them away. |

+ Handbrake, it seems that it has presets for Kindle Fire.
However, one thing please note, handbrake cant rip copy-protected DVDs. Regards Pave |

The OSX version of Handbrake does. For Windows systems one would need a utility to copy the .VOB files from the DVD to the harddrive... from there, the Windows version of Handbrake can take over.

I use the Handbrake Regular--Normal setting and I get really nice videos in the 1 GB to 1.5 GB size range.
