Title: Blu-ray ripping -- best file format?
Post by: crisp on December 02, 2021, 03:52:38 pm

I have a number of short films, ripped from DVD and kept in a playlist on JRiver. I want to rip more short films from Blu-ray and add them to the same playlist so, on playback, JRiver will shuffle through all the files regardless of the source, DVD or Blu-ray. The DVDs were ripped to m4v. My question is: does it matter what file format I rip the Blu-rays to and, if so, what format should I choose?

I rip them to mkv using the default settings of makemkv.

And JRiver will shuffle between the mkv and m4v file formats just as it does between FLAC, WAV and ALAC?

Yes!
