For travelling I transcode my movies and fit three on a single DVD. If you are |

only watching it on your laptop this is fine, although you can see artifacts |

You can get all manual about it and use just the vobs and be all mathematical |

about the transcode CLI options, but for my time and simple movies on the go |

DVD::RIP is the shit. |
