Is Blu Ray rip better than Blue Ray to DVD Compression?

[dragoneyes]

I noticed a better resolution with BR-Rip than BR Rip to DVD compression.

Just wanted to ask other member about their opinion.

Correct me if I am wrong

Thanks,

God Bless You!

You will always experience a degradation in picture and audio quality if you attempt to put a BD movie to a DVD, especially a DVD5 and not DVD9. The only time this might be an exception is with certain animated flicks. Your best bet if you are going to stay digital is to pick up/create an untouched rip (bitrate being normally around 20-25mb) however you can sacrifice a little quality and go with 1080p with a bitrate of at least 13-15mb and save some storage space. Your biggest storage space qualifier will be the audio. If you go with DTS 5.1 most encodes will be at 1.5mb however a true-hd or DTS-MA will net a huge difference and will chew up 10-15gb alone. I stay away from RC encodes and never ever view/keep anything with an mp3 audio track. Lastly, the older movies generally from the 80s and prior will have 2 channel audio which nets a lot of storage savings since they weren't generally filmed for surround sound. MKV really at this point is the best container to use as most media streamers and software supports it at this point. Hope that I didn't thread jack you on this?

That is actually debatable depending on the source material. I have owned BD discs which the transfer, even on newer content, was horrible and grainy. I have also watched that content as a 1080p MKV with mild compression and you couldn't really notice. I have a 65" 1080p LED DLP Samsung set. One could argue that it all depends on your set which is correct, but my set for example was one of the highest rated when it hit the shelves which was evident by the 3k price tag. I got lucky and didn't pay that much nor would I unless I really didn't have anything else to spend money on for a while, but it is what it is. So in retrospect it very much hinges on the source material for the BD content in the first place.
