Encoding Method Summary

Method 1
############
Use VLC to RIP DVD if needed. I had raw source on some of them
Use Quicktime to create web optimized mov file and html

Pros:
-various versions of your movie optimized for web-delivery.
-Uses a reference movie, which selects the best version for your users' various devices and connection speeds. By including this reference movie in your HTML page, you can ensure a quality video experience on your site. (not sure if Handbrakes H.264 ourput does the same.
-Output is basically the same as iMovie, with less steps

Cons:
-Multi steps
-requires quicktime to be installed
-Files size large, however still greatly reduced compared to orginal DVD file

Method 2
############
Use Handbrake to RIP DVD and crate H.264 file based on the following write up:
http://diveintohtml5.org/video.html

Pros:
-Smaller file size, more control over resolution.
-Should work one all browser, but have not tested.
-native HTML5 support, Flash wrapper for old browsers
-Handbrake supports command line and batch jobs

Cons:
-OSX firefox does not work
