Indeed. One of the best productions to ever grace television. I've been waiting for this to show up on iTunes ever since HBO joined the store.

So far I've ripped

-The Office (all seasons_
-Looney Tunes Golden Collection Seasons/Volumes (1-5).

The Looney tunes ripped very well. I only turned on Deinterlace to "Slow". Everything came out exactly like the dvd's. 1500 Kbps FTW.

Do The Simpsons early seasons require deinterlace (slow)?

-Looney Tunes Golden Collection Seasons/Volumes (1-5).

I'm just curious: did you rip the cartoons individually or to one file per disc? I ripped them all individually.

Incidentally you shouldn't need to deinterlace the looney tunes cartoons since the original source is film, not video. Just a tip for the future once you get Volume 6.

Regards,
Michael

I ripped them into one large file because if you skip through it, the next chapter will be a new cartoon. Thanks for the advice on this. I will use it when I get to the next season.

Now with The Simpsons or Family Guy, I would rip by episode. Looney Tunes is a different story because each cartoon is 7 minutes long not 22 mins. Should I go back and do them with deinterlace on and individually?

I might consider doing this because I would like to have the name of each cartoon title.

Is the first season of How I Met your Mother in 4:3 aspect ratio?
Did you get all of these (firefly) from the iTunes store? Those can't all be in HD yet, can they? Or are you ripping Blu-Ray somehow?

Nope - every episode is 16:9.

 

[fivepoint]

Nope - every episode is 16:9.

Is that on DVD or through Apple? I could have swore the DVD was 4:3. I checked a few online retailers and netflix.

Ah - mine are recorded TV broadcasts - they were all shown in 16:9.

I can't see why they'd make the DVD 4:3 though..

I've been working like crazy trying to get all my DVD TV shows ripped (DVDremaster and FairMount) but so far in the last year have done only: (I tend to focus mostly on my movies so TV shows have to wait)
Babylon5 - entire series plus TV movies finished
Crusade finished
Firefly plus Serenity finished
Buffy - seasons 1 & 2
Angel - only season 1
Coupling - season 1-4 finished
Creature Comforts - season 1 & 2
Invader Zim - season 1-3 finished
Robot Chicken - season 1
Stargate Atlantis - season 1-4
Stargate SG-1 - season 1, 7 & 8

I still have to do:
Space Above and Beyond
American Gothic
Scrubs
X-Files
Alien Nation plus TV movies
LEXX
Starship Troopers Roughnecks (cartoon set) plus movies
Star Trek - TOS, TNG, DS9 plus the movies
Roar

I have alot of TV Stuff I still give preference to those type of Non Serialized shows first, things like MASH, Trek, Addams Family etc, shows that you can grab an episode and watch whenever. New Arc Shows like 24, Prison Break i tend to not convert because it forces you to watch the entire season in order.

some of my favs:

the office
Curb your enthusiasm
Lucky Louie (cancelled after 1 season, but great for an awkward laugh)
Friday Night Lights
