More efficiency means smaller files - smaller files take less bandwidth to move over a network or cable, and take up less space. Newer methods of video compression are more efficient, but that efficiency has nothing directly to do with quality itself. OTOH a DVD probably isn't going to look as good as the Blu-Ray version of the same movie, if you want to bother with the hassles of Blu-Ray. The quality of Netflix & other streaming sources depends on the Internet bandwidth you get while streaming - bandwidth is often less than ideal for many folks, making something like Netflix look about the same as a DVD or worse.
#NO GIMMICKS VIDEO CONVERTER SOFTWARE#
If folks want to use just one conversion app, it may make more sense for them to buy a copier or decrypter to get the disc on their hard drive, then use the conversion software on that - sometimes you might need to use a free app to extract the audio & video 1st, depending on your preferred conversion software.Īs far as DVD quality goes, & in defense of all who still watch them, with the exception of the subtitles, if you use a decent player the average DVD looks about as good as SD & HD digital cable premium channels on a decent HDTV. The input of most rippers is restricted to the type of discs it handles, DVD &/or Blu-Ray. I’ve no use for a program of this type as it’s years since I bought a DVD as the quality is so poor when compared to modern video compression systems." I modified the default file types and it allowed to import various video file formats, however it would not let me proceed any further, not sure if this is because it’s XP or if it applies to later versions of the OS. #3: "It calls itself a DVD converter rather than DVD Ripper, this made me wonder if video files could be imported.
