Is there any difference?

Is there any difference if i rip the dvd with smartripper and then on SimpleDivx I select the folder where i riped it instead of on Simple Divx i select the folder where dvd original is. (what i want to ask is when i use smatripper the file will be exactly the same on quality, on the size?)


Thanks

Yes.

In fact, this is recommended. Transcoding straight from DVD drive will cause wear and tear on the poor drive, requiring you to buy a replacement drive sooner than expected.

Plus, files are unscrambled, macrovision copy protection and area coding are removed. Those would be the only differences, and they're all for the better.
