Best way of encoding DVD collection

Hi,

Im sure some of you have done this so I'd appreciate some advice...


I've got an Apple TV so am intending of putting all my movies in itunes as I use it for my music library too.
I'd then stream everything through that to my TV.

I'm fine with ripping audio CD's but how do I rip and organise my films?

I'm a Mac user so have heard of handbrake...Would that be the way to go?

Any advice appreciated,


Thankyou

For the DVDs I own, I bought Mac DVDRipper Pro and then used Handbrake to create a m4v using the H.264 codec with the High Profile settings.

I have a (4 core) Mac Pro 1,1 running Yosemite and on this, it takes ~ 1 hr per DVD

I am not clear on the Video formats that iTunes will accept so you may have to play about with the Handbrake settings
