Ok, so my music is currently either CD or 320kps MP3 which is the highest quality I can get without WAV.. My movies are either watched straight from the disk on very good headphones or watched on a HD TV with 5.1 DTS sound. So, if I want to watch the DVDs from a file, which would provide the best quality, MP4, MOV, FMV, AVI...? which compresses the least? I assume that ISO is the best, so I am seeking second best for sake of argument. Very many thanks again!
