Hi folks
I am creating a hard drive of my DVD movies in order to back them up. I have a 2TB external drive and will occasionally hook up the laptop to the TV via an HDMI cable to watch the movies. Not desperately concerned at this stage if the movies are compressed (if I am bothered about quality I will use the DVD in a player!).
I cannot find any reliable info on whether to keep the movies as AVI files or MP4 files - which is best? I cannot really see me watching them on other devices and, if this changes in future, I can convert the files to another format as and when I need to watch them on other devices.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the best format?
