I have a question on video format... I'm trying to take home movies that are currently burned onto PAL DVDs and convert them to a video format that plays on a BD-R in most blu-ray players. That way I can put a bunch of DVDs on a single disk.
I tried just ripping the MPEG-2 DVD source into MKV, and although my blu-ray player says it supports MKV, I suspect it didn't like the MPEG-2 being inside the MKV wrapper. So I am using handbrake to convert the file to M4V. It's re-encoding it, but it still looks good.
Am I overlooking something? I don't need to convert the files to NTSC do I? That would be a mess. This is harder than I thought it would be.
