Whither now, my movie collection?
I have movies on DVD… lots of them. Recently I’ve started converting a few to watch on my PSP when I’m travelling and, of course, I keep the resulting files on my PC (I’ve not found decent software for the Mac which work so far!) and this got me thinking.
My music is both physical CDs and MP3 files, am I destined to duplicate this for my movies too?
To be honest I wouldn’t really mind going through the process of stripping out the movie file itself and putting it on file, but the process would have to be a little quicker and better than it is at the moment. I guess the big differentiator is in the resolution of the output file. MP3 will play on anything I want it to and sound the same (hardware notwithstanding). Video files are different though, with there being no real default for my video I have to choose my device and match the software and processes accordingly
Currently the device is the PSP, but what happens whan I change? Do I run the risk of needing to re-encode everything to suit?
Answers on a postcard.. or a comment will do!
