I have a 2011 Mac Mini (2.3 with 8 gig) and am toying with the idea of using it as a HTPC with XBMC.

I have plenty of NAS storage so that is not an issue.

Plan to buy and external BD/DVD Writer (any recommendations welcome) and rip away.

What is the best software to use and what is the best format to rip to?

I'm not bothered about saving HDD space or bothered about extras on the discs, I just want the best possible picture/sound of the main feature.

I have my MM connected via HDMI to a 60 inch 1080p Pioneer plasma.

If the model of MM I have isn't up to 1080P/24 without stuttering it would not be the end of the world as I have a silly number of DVD's and would just concentrate on those and play BD's the old fashioned way.

Thanks
 
I have been having trouble with handbreak since upgrading to Lion.. Can never find the Source, even when addressing to do so manually. Can any light be shed on this?
