All you need is a 4.5-10GB scene BDRip (from http://scenereleases.info/category/movie...bluray-rip) and just use that as your source file in the AviSynth Script Creator instead of a D2V. This will give you much a cleaner looking video than you will get from a DVD because DVD's are already encoded with HORRIBLE looking MPEG2... and we all know that MPEG2 is already a very lossy codec -- especially at the bitrates that DVDs are constrained to. So, in clonclusion, if you download a lot of DVD's off torrent sites, STOP wasting your time and download the BDRips! Then make proper Xbox-compatible rips from them, and then upload them to ThePirateBay or ******** so that I can download them from you!What if I *do* own a Blu-Ray ROM drive and want to rip my Blu-ray discs to a format that offers better-than-DVD PQ and 5.1 sound? Is there a simple process for doing that or is it time consuming and manually intensive? Right now I rip my DVD's to ISO files and it only takes a couple of clicks of my mouse and 20 minutes later I have an ISO file. I'd be willing to pay for software that would allow me to rip my Blu-ray discs, if the process was simple and the filesizes were 10GB or less.
