I don’t dislike Handbrake, but it is S………L………………O…….W! However I might go back to it…more on this later! But the intention was to hit a one stop shop where I can rip and then encode DVDs as I want them.

I’ve recently purchased MacX DVD which looked to be the best bet from what I read online, and my previous experience using a 2 step system with AN Other DVD Ripper and Handbrake. Where I’m trying to get to the best place is around film/TV show media. Photos same again, central repository for the billions of photos we take and never look at! I’ll figure out moving my iTunes library onto the NAS so I don’t rely on the iMac being on 24/7 down the line, I’ve seen a few guides on this and am fairly comfortable. Music is fine, ripping to ALAC to ensure lossless encodes. I’m in the process of packing out my NAS with all things media. It’s a little long, so please bear with me…get yourself a cup of tea and settle in! ) If there is somewhere this is already addressed then please point me at it - I’ve not been able to find it thus far but if it already exists fantastic! I hope you can help me with my query - I’ve been doing quite a lot of work researching and testing, but I’ve reached a point where I can’t quite work out what I’m missing, or need to do (or maybe I can but I am hoping there’s a different answer!).
