Ripping and Encoding

[sonofmarx]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on this forum but I've been coming here for a while now.

I own a lot of JAV dvds and I'd like to share them with other people. Probably post them on this forum.

I would like to know if anyone knows the programs that the current rippers use to rip and encode the movies. I'd like to replicate their technique so that my rips are not crazy or different from what people expect.

Also, does anyone know how they make the tiled screenshots that come with a lot of the files.

I know it's possible that the answer is on the forum already but I've tried quite a few search queries and had no luck.

Thanks in advance.

Handbrake works fine for me.

Handbrake is great if you want the absolute simplest experience encoding. I'd also recommend Ripbot264, it's another easy alternative. If you want the best quality with the most control, check out MeGUI. Guides for all three programs can be found on videohelp.com

In my rips, I'd like to include the tiled screenshots - The previews that almost always come with the good rips. Does anyone know how those are done?

I'll check out Ripbot 264 and MeGUI. I've never used them before.

I love handbrake but it can be a little limited. Works great for making mp4 files though.
