An excellent tool to put DVD into MPEG container with amazing quality preservation and I have used it to archive all my important family videos. The nice thing I find about MPEG is the ability to manipulate it using most of the video editing suites:

Apologies but I don't know why it hasn't pasted properly. You can use the link to the website through the videohelp page or do as Tronator suggested.

The forum software doesn't seem to like "O B 2" without spaces. Get's me interested in what naughty stuff it could stand for

Thanks all for your help.

On a related'ish topic. I wanted to rip all my dvds to a hard drive for play back on a big tv. I was going to get a media player as mentioned before, but, as I am looking for a new blu-ray player could I kill 2 birds with one stone.

Would the Sony BDP-S370 fill both roles ??

Again thanks for any help.

I use handbrake a lot to convert files to mkv format it can take a while to compress though even on my quad processor

I also use a blue-ray LG player which can play mkv and stream video, music and even youtube over the network it comes with wireless n but I tend to use 200Mbps homeplugs

I also use mkv on pc and use vlcplayer
