I'm not sure if I can post this here but I'm new so cut me some slack until I know better. Anyways, I am downloading movies to my computer so I can use them on trips. I don't have a DVD burner which is why I haven't copied any dvds yet. My main concern about downloading movies online would be the quality. I guess my question to you guys would be, how do you determine a movie's quality before downloading it? My guess is it depends who ripped it, if the dvd they used was the original one then the quality would be superb. If thats the case, whats the best way to copy/rip a original dvd to my hardrive without losing the quality. I want to download a movie and play it back with identical dvd quality as the original one. I am totally new to this. Can someone also suggest softwares that I would need to obtain what I am asking for. Thoughts? Thanks
usually the size of the file determines the 1st visual of quality. some people clearly say something about "dvd rip" on the file which may mean exact dvd rip unless they fib a bit. once downloaded you can use tons of programs. DivxToDVD is a good program.
Well to check movie quality I will check file size (not less than 500 mb if it is a movie) and check if it is a DIVX movie not a MPEG2 movie which has less quality, In order to backup a movie to your HD without lossing much quality is coding it to DIVX, I personally use DIVX Video duplicator Pro, and rip the movie to my HD (which it will probbably take 700mb) then I can burned on Cd, or watched from my computer, although this type of file can only be read by special DVD drives, and computers with the DIVX decoder. I hoped it helped
