Ok, I only got a lappy at the moment, but I can buy a decent-ish PC for cheap, rip movies on it and share them. I got enough movies like, I dunno, this isn't an Anyone interested in post....but I dunno just thinking, run it all the time, ripping and rocking!!

What type rips do people like for a movies, just like DivX 1GB is that enought quality, or do they like larger files, I dunno, just wanna make people happy.

Xvid (not DiVX), and either CD or DVD based filesizes.

Do people still want CD based sizes, cant they just watch the film on the PC, or burn it a dvd, or USB or stream it, what about a 900MB movie, cause I dunno, 4GB DVD is massssive!

No, no point doing cd sizes but don't choose something random... I would stronly suggest following this spec:
http://forum.dead-donkey.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12810
This has been adopted by a lot of rippers on various emule sites now.

ie.
1cd = 744mb
2cd = 1.46GB

In terms of codec, i would strongly suggest XviD also... subtitle format I prefer vobsubs or srt

I think that a 1 CD rip is ok if the source quality is not good or the movie is rather short (below 1:25).
Don't kill me for saying this, but I like to have a movie fit onto a single CD. :wacky:

"DVD-based" is fractions of a DVD, ie 1/6th, 1/3rd etc. not a full DVD.

If you use Gordian Knot, all the DVD-based presets ViSCeRaL is talking about, are already there for you in the 'Total Size' section of the 'Bitrate' tab. Definitely don't use 900mb when 896mb (1/5 DVD) is so close.

My advice is don't be afraid to ask questions. These guys will talk you through anything. Happy ripping!
