 +=== Best Quality ===
 +
 +The best way to get the best quality from a rip is very simple -- try it with some settings and play it back in your client environment and see if you like it or not. :)
 +
 +Trying to find settings to work across the board for everything is only going to cause a lot of problems if you don't start with QA.
 +
 +=== Video Filters ===
 +
 +I did research on video filters related to HandBrake, and how to achieve the target goal I have. For me, it's simple -- no jagged lines on video.
 +
 +My **previous** settings have always been based on cobbled together information from forums, and the HandBrake wiki which (in the past) was ambiguously worded and confusing.
 +
 +Here's what I've found out:
 +
 +  * The ''​deinterlace''​ option uses yadif filter
 +  * The ''​decomb''​ option uses yadif in combination with other filters
  
 **Summary:​** Handbrake is *the best* tool for ripping / encoding DVDS, and works great for any sources ffmpeg can read as well. **Summary:​** Handbrake is *the best* tool for ripping / encoding DVDS, and works great for any sources ffmpeg can read as well.
