Re: A DVD with 2.35:1 Aspect Ratio is ripping to 1:33

Hey Woodstock - thanks for the quick response! So you're saying that if I use Handbrake to re-encode the file it should strip the bars and fix this issue?

A DVD with 2.35:1 Aspect Ratio is ripping to 1:33

OK. this seems really weird. I'm using MakeMKV to rip mostly Blu-Rays and a few old DVDs too. Just tried ripping "The Abyss: Special Edition" which is only available on DVD. The rip seems just fine until I use Plex Media Server to check the Metadata and it's displaying 1:33 when it clearly...

Re: How do you make the output file smaller?

Thanks for all the responses. I'm a beginner for sure. Makes sense now - been using MakeMKV to rip, then using Handbrake to Recode. Just trying to find the best settings for default to keep good HD/1080p copies of movies with at least Dolby Digital 5.1 surround with the files being too big.

How do you make the output file smaller?

I'm a first-time user and just tried ripping a BluRay Disc of Payback: Straight Up (Director's Cut) - I didn't see any options regarding compression and at this point the output file seems to be bigger than the source data on the BluRay disc. What am I doing wrong?
