Hi. I'm thinking of ripping all my blu-ray's to my hard drives, but I'm wondering at what quality this should be done at. I have read some threads regarding this, but I haven't really found a satisfying answer (or perhaps there isn't one). I have ripped my DVD collection in the past and I then did so without lowering the quality of the video, but blu-ray is just so much bigger! I guess I could do the same to my blu-ray collection, but this would be a waste if it wasn't possible to notice the difference in quality from a compressed file. I guess what I'm asking is at what point do one start to notice that a video file is compressed (assuming 1080p here)? I know this will depend on how good your TV or projector is, but surely most people won't see the difference between a 10GB compressed 1080p file and uncompressed blu-ray on your average 46" TV, right? I also know that there is a lot of bias involved here and Im quite interested in HIFI and the insane audiophoolery that it involves, I can only assume that the same goes for video. So, has there been done any ABX "blind" trials regarding video quality? How expensive of a TV do you need to actually get the benefits from watching a completely uncompressed blu-ray movie?
I also have a quick question about computer hardware and blu-ray ripping. Is this a job for the CPU alone or will upgrading your graphics card decrease the time it takes to rip a blu-ray? I have a Intel Core i5 3570K @ 3.40GHz, would I perhaps wan't to overclock this as much as possible to reduce the time it takes to rip the movies?
