encode dvd to 1 file

[luv2liv]

im trying to encode my dvds to MKV or mp4 format for portability on tablets.
using Handbrake, the output looks terrible during motion. still scene looks great! but when theres a lot of movement, as in fighting scenes, the picture quality decreases dramatically as it becomes blurry/boxy/pixelated.
i have tried AppleTV2 preset with the box "large file size" unchecked as people suggested and that didnt work. am i doing something wrong or should i look for another software?

i never have problems with DVD shrink quality. but now, it would be nice if DVD shrink can combine all those VOB into 1 single file.

oops. looks like MakeMKV is the solution i was looking for!
it works like dvd shrink. pick the chapters, audio, subtitle, and MakeMKV spits out 1 file.

In handbrake under the video tab there's a slider to adjust the quality. Re-encoding my mkvs at 10 gives a good compromise between quality and size on my TF. I use 8 if I want good quality.

Settings at 8 and 10 seems like huge overkill. I would think that your .mp4 would end up as large or larger than the original DVD. I would suggest using the High Profile setting and setting the slider for 18-22.
