How to rip Anime DVD?
buchno:
Do you mean something like this?
vuzedome:
Just like ripping any other normal DVD.

and google helps.
edit: simply put, you're asking on the wrong forums. try contacting encode groups, they tend to have forums or IRC there too, like coalgirls or thora.
Tiffanys:
I mean like the handbrake profiles that tend to be the "good" settings for encoding anime. Like the bitrate to use, and all the specific little flags or whatever I need... I know that with anime due to the colors, those settings can make a really huge deal, so that's why I was asking so I could get some tips from experienced anime encoders that have found the settings that give the best results. I can follow generic guides for the other stuff.
I just don't want to be experimenting when I have to do like ~78 episodes. I mean, some kind of target size ~350MB isn't going to come out as good as someone that knows the proper settings to use. I guess people probably use average bitrate instead... like 1386kbps to 2036kbps or something.
Would taking encode settings from some anime I've seen's Properties>MediaInfo be a good idea? Something like...

Well, I have awhile. It's gonna have to wait til my ISP's bandwidth period is over anyways. And, well... my LCS is out of coolant (rather, the coolant in it is so old that it's barely working anymore and I'm being underclocked to like 1.5GHz so I don't overheat my CPU) and the new coolant won't be here til like sometime between tomorrow and the 5th. So a super CPU intensive thing'll have to wait. I think my bandwidth period is like the 9th or 10th or something... I dunno.
kureshii:
Encoding settings are not a magic wand for good filesizes and nice image quality. The problem with DVDs, and anime DVDs in particular, is interlacing, which looks like ass, and hurts compressibility. You want small filesize and good-looking encodes, you’ll have to learn how to IVTC properly. And that’s beyond the scope of any “simple” guide.
If you have 78 episodes to encode and don’t want to spend much effort or time, play with the detelecine/decomb/deinterlace filters in Handbrake picture settings until you get something you like. For the encoding part, use the x264 medium preset (default settings) with perhaps animation tuning, and control quality with crf (RF setting under Video in Handbrake, in “constant quality” mode). Here’s a sample Mediainfo output from such an encoded file:
(click to show/hide)cabac=1 / ref=6 / deblock=1:1:1 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=hex / subme=7 / psy=1 / psy_rd=0.40:0.00 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=1 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-2 / threads=12 / lookahead_threads=2 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=5 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=1 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=23 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=40 / rc=crf / mbtree=1 / crf=23.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=0 / qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:0.60
For convenience, you might want to add the following into your presets file. It should simulate the above settings as closely as possible (Handbrake does not have control over some options):

Try various RF settings (18–23 suggested) in Handbrake until you arrive at a filesize/quality you like for one episode. Then you can set up batch jobs for all 78 episodes (assuming everything turns out fine).
Are these the optimum encoding settings? Probably not. There isn’t a single one-size-fits-all setting for encoding anything, although encoder-people may have preferred settings they may or may not understand.
I’m not sure how Handbrake handles vobsubs, but chances are it’s not going to do OCR (optical character recognition) for you, so you’re going to have to do more googling there.
