For? What exactly?

Editing would be MJPEG, but if you want decent quality the size rivals huffYUV.

Hiya Klink,

well anywho I was ripping Dvd's and I wanted to know the compression quality best suited....but man you know Huffy kills my Harddrive when its compressing 25 minute episodes If I could cut down the vob files it would be so much easier ....

Why don't you take only the clips you need from the VOBs?

IYUV from intel does a decent job... I would rather use huffyuv if I had a choice.

That is... i'm inferring from the huge file size produced (4mB source -> 326mB out) that this codec is just storing each frame. No temporal compression... I couldn't find any information about this codec

IYUV is UNCOMPRESSED YUV 4:2:0

Not bad...

Take your HUFYuv encoded episode and load into whatever editing program you'd like (I recommend virtualdub) then go through and save only the parts of the episode you'll need as a HUFyuv compressed AVI file. After that you can delete all the files except the clips, IE vobs, avs scripts, etc. You'll get all the quality of HUFYuv in less space although it does require planning ahead so you know exactly what clips you need.

Use the SWAP method, this is what it was meant for. Faster than AVS/less space than huffyuv. You can uber low quality MJPEGs that take up around the same amount as the VOB files. Then swap back to the MPEG2 VOBs for the final render. Read about it in the guides...
