I've always believed that a BD rip using no compression (either with AnyDVDHD or with AnyDVD+CloneBD) and ripping to ISO/Video File/Other would always be a better option than creating a compressed file (the way CloneBD allows you to rip to MKV, MP4, etc.). The sheer file size difference seemed to indicate that there HAD to be a difference in quality since uncompressed rips can be in the neighborhood of 30-50GB for a single BD compared to a compressed file which can be between 5-10GB.
For some time I've been looking for a Blu ray version of "Boy and the World", but haven't been able to find one. I have a DVD of this movie and when I rip it, it's just over 7GB and when I play the rip through my media player, it shows as a 720p file (and has the regular "fuzzyness" of a DVD). Recently I found a compressed version of this movie in MKV format which is only 5.5GB in size and shows as a 1080p file. The MKV file of this movie is much crisper and higher quality than my DVD rip and actually looks (and sounds) "just" as good as my huge BD ISO rips (I think).
What is the official word on compressed files vs uncompressed (lossless) BD rips? FOR SURE there is a VERY noticeable difference between a DVD (rip) and a Blu ray (rip)...the DVDs now look so fuzzy to us and we can't believe we watched DVDs for so many years...and the file size difference and the extra hassle of making BDs is well worth the trouble IMO, but is there enough of a difference between a well-done compressed BD (taking 30-40GB down to 5-10GB) to warrant making only lossless rips?
Thanks
