I'm getting ready to build my first HTPC that will be hooked up to a 65" 1080P display via HDMI. I have about 700 DVDs that I am going to work at putting on the HTPC. Since I have so many DVDs, and since I have a larger TV, HD space and quality are both important. I'm not worried about the Blu-Ray yet since I don't have that many. I'm planning on boxing up all of the DVDs after I have them on the HTPC - should be much easier.
Rather than ask what I should use for a good compromise between quality and size I thought it would be better to ask what everyone else is currently using (x264, XVid, Uncompressed VOB, etc...) and what program and settings they are using to do the encoding and possibly how big each movie, on average, is.
Right now I'm leaning towards x264 but I'm not sure on the settings yet.
Thanks!
