Thank you very much.
I know it does, but I seem to remember about 12 years ago when I first started doing this that converting straight from DVD to MP3 didn’t give very good results. Sounding rather watery and compressed from what I remember. It’s probably not an issue now with later versions but I seem to remember reading online at the time about converting to WAV first to preserve the quality before re-encoding. In fact, I seem to remember people suggesting to burn to Audio CD first the re-rip to MP3. I know it’s a bit more hassle doing this but it guarantees quality results. But once you’ve converted to MP3, you can do away with the WAVs.

Thats a good point but if you really want to, you can turn the “no clipping” option off but then you risk compressing the dynamics and ruining the listening experience.
Like you say, if you use a program like Audacity, you can work around it.
