Ripping DVD concerts/movies to SSD for OPPO 105D playback

I've got 200gb of music stored on my SSD and now I'd like to try ripping some DVD concerts onto the SSD for audio/video playback.

Thus far, this effort seems far more complex/difficult than ripping music to the SSD.

I'm interested only in high-quality ripping of the DVD's and if you have any suggestions please keep your responses simple as I know very little about this area.

Thanks for any suggestions.

MakeMKV - easy to use and rips to the best quality available. Will rip the DTS, DD or PCM soundtrack - you pick what you want to rip.

Take a look at the AnyDVD and DVDFab programs. DVDFab does seem to be the most popular of the two.

  Very good program with a nice intuitive interface...

    I tried the dvdfab and ripped to my mac Pink Floyd concert. So now I have the audio_TS and video_TS subfolders in a parent folder.
    
    Now what? Just copy those to my SSD for the OPPO?
    
    Ripping and burning CD's one track or entire CD seems straightforward enough. But it seems entirely more complex when attempting to rip/burn a DVD.
    
    And of course, no 2 software products seem much alike.
    
    Thanks,

      You could copy the folders to the SSD and then play back the files contained within. Or you could copy (burn) the folders to a blank DVD and this should result in an exact copy of the original disk....

        Thanks, RW. If I copy the folders to the SSD, don't I then have to launch the files individually? Meaning I lose the interface at the beginning, the interface to skip to tracks, etc?
        
        This wouldn't be the end of the world but if so, how would I select the ability to listen in say stereo PCM instead of Dolby 5.1?
        
        Isn't there some way to keep the aggregate files together as if I'm playing from the DVD disc?
        
        BTW, the OPPO doesn't recognize a single .ISO file.

        Yes, you will have to launch the tracks separately, they don't "chain" together. You can probably select the audio track by using the Audio button on your Oppo remote.
        
        Early Oppos would play ISO files directly, this is a really great feature. Unfortunately, the Hollywood studios forced Oppo to remove this capability from all firmware after Jan 2013. It *is* possible to re-flash your Oppo to the earlier firmware if it's a BPD-95 or 93. Can't do it with the 103s and 105...
        
        Honestly, the best way is to take the ISO file and burn a physical disc from it. But, of course, that obviates file-based SSD playback...
