Why bother trying to losslessly compress your DVDs when they're already a low quality, compressed MPEG2 source? The small amount of content that isn't available in higher quality won't take up that much space left as is.


This is why I come to HN. To find out what's in my video archive and how easy it is to replace.


In the case you're being facetious, maybe you could clarify how big is your video archive exactly and what sort of compression you're trying to achieve on it?
