drj400m

I am in the middle of ripping dvd's for viewing on my x50v. I am not very satisfied with the outcomes!
When people are stating "excellent" quality is that to be read as: same as regular dvd player quality?
I am getting poor dark scene quality as well as motion.
I am using handbrake for Mac and using 500meg size. On the axim is betaplayer (which is great for MP3).
Any sugestions or sites to help with this; have done many searches.
