How to save DVD's at the highest quality on a PC? And make it compatible with PS3?
SHORT VERSION:
-How to save DVD movies / TV series, in the highest possible video and audio format -Is this format compatible with PS3 media sharing? -If no, is there a way around this? -If no, what format would be best for the PS3? DETAILED VERSION: I have quite a few DVD's (movies and TV Series) and would like to back them up onto my PC. I know how to create an image of the DVD so that is not a problem. Backup complete. But I would also like to save them in a playable format that I do not have to mount with just the main content. I want the best possible quality video AND audio. Preferably in a way that I can still have things like subtitles, multi-angle (I know there is not a lot of content like this but I like to be ready if things change in the future), but these are not essential. I would also like to be able to play them on my PS3 via media sharing (already set up), but the format needs to be compatible (unless there is another way of using a non-compatible file type). If it is not possible to have both highest quality and PS3 format I will save the DVD as another format. Please advise on what would be best for this. I think it goes without saying that disk space is not a problem as I am willing to save 3 copies of a film onto my PC (ISO, highest quality & PS3 compatible versions) |

If you hook a network cable into your PS3, then open source "PS3 Media Server" eats almost anything.
The media server will send the streaming data (vid+sound) no prob. note: it's super simple, and cross-platform aswell |

Thanks for your replies
I already stream music to my PS3 so that is not a problem, I just need to make sure they are in the right format. My biggest concern is getting the DVD's onto my PC at the highest possible quality (with Surround Sound, Subtitles intact). I don't care what formate this is, as long as I am getting quality (of course it would be good if it was a format that other software/hardware likes but not essential) thanks |

Well, just rip the full dvd, and play it from PS3 media server?
edit: Depending on wich media server software you are using, you might need to rename the .vob files to .mpg Last edited by squadjot; 20th January 2010 at 00:28. |

Tools to rip are plentiful (DVD Decrypter, DVDShrink, DVDFab Decrypter, DeCSS, etc), although DVDFab and AnyDVD are probably the most updated for new titles, etc ... 7ek |

Sorry it has taken so long to reply.
The reason I would not like to do this is because I have lots of TV box sets, and I would like to store the individual episodes as individual files. It makes it easier to find the episode that I want, rather then going through DVD menus, etc. Any advise on how to do this? P.S. I now have a Linkstation Quad to stream direct from that |

You could use DVD Decrypter in IFO mode and sequentially save each chapter.

If you want to maintain the subtitles etc then you need to keep the standard DVD format. You can convert the mini DVD's into a single ISO file that your PS3 can play using http://whoooop.co.uk/2009/02/08/play...station-3-ps3/ You can rename the ISO file to any identifiable name

Hummm...I have used PS3mediaserver before. However, I am now hosting everything on my NAS (Linkstaion Quad).
Basically, I wanted to make things simpler. I would rather have one folder (e.g. Only Fools and Horses) with all episodes in that folder having a different file name, instead of, OFAH > Series 1 > E01 > VIDEO_TS > ***.VOB, ***.IFO, etc. Is this possible while still keeping full functionality (subtitles, surround, etc.)? |

Wouldn't I loose quality?

VTS_01_0.IFO VTS_01_VOBID_001_1.VOB Something strange is happening. The VOB file opens fine in Real Player and Nero Showtime. However, it does not open in WMP or QuickTime. Any ideas? The NAS automatically finds the files (not sure if it recognises VOB files at all, but will find out) Quote:
