Other folks who have done this have reported problems with the audio and video getting out of sync on playback, especially when they fast-forward or rewind. But there may have been peculiarities in their setup. If its not too time-consuming (relative to other options), and I don't have the sync issues, then I could certainly warm up to it.

<div>Interesting thread. Most of my DVDs on on my server in 'raw' VOB mode - but I have found that 2TB fills up pretty quickly! The few I have done were all Xvid / AC3, but this thread has motivated me to try H.264
/AC3 to compare with the results I get. I've got no patience for these 6-step processes though</div><br> </div>
