Hi Gang,
Happy New Year!
Our theater is hosting a short film festival for the second year. Last year I just swapped discs in our Blu-Ray player. The presentation was rather ugly as while swapping discs the B-R player defaults to its home screen and Panasonic is not a sponsor of the festival. We also do not have a shutter for the projector. =(
Here's what I'd like to do...
Rip all the discs (some DVD some Blu-Ray) into appropriate files on my workstation (Win7) at home, load them onto an external HDD and build a QLab show file at the theater. I don't want to compress the video any more than it is on disc and want to keep the same resolution. I'll have to specify specific subtitles during the ripping process on some of them and build them into the file. I may also have to choose a specific audio track to include. I'd really like this to look as "professional" as possible.
Can anyone recommend ripping software (free?) and an appropriate file type/codec? In addition to our MacMini/QLab setup, we also have a good PC with SCS 10 Pro installed. I'd also consider different presentation software/methods if it's cheap/free. Please remember that I'm not a video editor, etc. I'm also getting into the busy time at school with the musical.
All thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Sean
