Do you have any good simple guides on the best way to rip DVDs onto an HTPC… I’ve read lots of posts using a myriad of tools converting DVD to VOB and then another tool to H.264 (or equiv). Are there any all in one solutions? I am currently using 7MC and MediaBrowser Firestorm – since I trust the recommendations from this website I was hoping for some guidance before I start downloading crap. Thanks-Jonathan

Well, I suppose the answer lies in how you prefer to rip. Do you want to keep the full disc intact (menus and all)? Do you want just the film? Do you want compressed or uncompressed? Do you want to retain all audio streams, or only the primary (or secondary, if smaller)? How about subtitles? Sorry for all the questions, but this is why you come across guides that have a seemingly endless list of software required for something that appears to be quite simple.
If you can give me an idea of the type of end result you want, I’m sure I can find you a good guide. If not, I’ll write one up.
