Question regarding ripping dvds (yes DVDs) (lemmynsfw.com)

I know the majority opinion is not to do it for various reasons, but basically I started to backup the majority of my dvd collection that I created over the years since I have the time and they were just collecting dust. Turns out though I guess I'm doing it "wrong" or at least not in the original quality since I used handbrake instead of makemkv. I'm already 160 dvds in and about 40 more to go, is it worth, quality wise, going back and actually ripping? Is there a way to compare them? To clairify, I'll be using makemkv from now on for the rest.

I’m in that boat myself as I’ve got a TON of DVD-R’s I recorded off of WWE Classics on Demand. I usually use Handbrake for that. Especially if you have DVD-R’s recorded over 10-15 years ago and up, it’s better to start backing them up now. I’ve had discs that are lost forever because they started to go bad and bit rot.
