This seems like a bit of a microoptimization if you're just interested in getting a streaming-service-quality level of DVD rip (which is fine by me).

I have no problem with someone wanting the highest quality possible, but for me, I mostly stream videos to a TV or to an iPhone, and unless it's a 4K UHD video (which I still compress to H.265 currently), I'm not too worried about pixel peeping at the quality.

I still watch VHS dubs too, and those have all kinds of crazy artifacts/color issues :)
