I have a newbie question regarding DVD ripping. I'm planning to rip my DVDs for playback on a Tvix system (yet to be purchased), and I'm trying to figure out the best strategy. I'll probably rip my commercial movie DVDs as ISO image files, but I also have a lot of homemade DVDs that contain miscellaneous TV recordings. I'd like to play these as individual files (VOBs?), independent of the original disk.
I understand what ISOs are, but I'm a little confused when it comes to VOB/IFO files. When I transfer the VOBs to my HDD, will I need to transfer the IFO files as well? Will I lose any functionality without the IFO files, or does the ripping software take care of all of that? Would I be better off saving the VOBs in some other format altogether?
Thanks!
