<br>
For music, I use flac, because it's lossless, so I can always convert it<br>
to mp3 if I want (but not the other way around. The space is not an<br>
issue - with FLAC you can put more than 300 CDs on a measly 100 GB.<br>
<br>
I use "cdparanoia" piped to "flac" for ripping my audio CDs. It's very<br>
far from automatic - I don't get the track information from any Internet<br>
database, and I also scan the covers of my CDs, so it took me many<br>
months to rip all my CDs - but since doing that I haven't touched a CD<br>
:-)<br>
<br>
For DVDs, I mount the DVD and then "vobcopy -m". The results are "vob"<br>
files, which I keep without transforming into any other format<br>
(mp4/mkv,etc.) because my streamer can easily play them.<br>
The big hassle with DVDs, though, is that especially for children DVDs,<br>
they often contains ads in the beginning or end of the video, and I<br>
want to remove that crap - and I use "dd" for that :-) A nice feature<br>
of the "vob" video format is that it can be cut-and-pasted with "dd"<br>
and "cat" without a problem - it has no headers in the beginning, for<br>
example.<br>
<br>
I'm sure other people can suggest more 21st century tools :-)<br>
