This article reads like a press release. Maybe some history and pros and cons would be good. Dizzle 00:12, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
From discussions I'm noting on various forums, the ratDVD format also re-encodes the original video file with a noticable loss in quality. This wikipedia page needs to be updated with that information.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Urbanriot ( talk • contribs) 04:26, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
i seen 2.15GIG ratDVD rips of the Invader Zim DVD sets....and for as i looked..i can only find those with good seeds...now here lies the question...at only 2.15gig or what ever...is the video quailty higher then the 1.5 you all seem to be talking about? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.181.3.94 ( talk) 23:32, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Does ratDVD decreases the quality of the original DVD? — Preceding unsigned comment added by El Chompiras ( talk • contribs) 01:31, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Pretty much like an VIDEO_TS folder from an ordinary DVD with additional and transformed content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.100.203.104 ( talk) 23:14, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes, in fact, I think someone should add on the front page that a compressed file extraction program such as 7-zip or winRAR can extract a .ratDVD file.--

You can extract it, but you cannot play it without the appropriate codec. The zip seems to be used only as a way to bundle the files into one. ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.155.99.21 ( talk) 23:13, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
The .ratDVD file uses the zip format as a container, but the files inside are nothing like an ordinary DVD's VIDEO_TS folder (the extensions should be .IFO and .VOB/.BUP, not .VSI/.XVO) 81.152.116.183 ( talk)
The first feature of the format states: "A .ratDVD file keeps all the features found on the original DVD"
Is it really necessary, then, to list all possible options a DVD can have? If *all* features from the original DVD are kept then listing what they might be (branching, subtitles, chapters, commentaries, etc.) is irrelevant and reeks of useless PR ("Buy this camera! You can take pictures with it! You can also print them!"). If there is *any* feature from an original DVD that isn't kept (for example, DVD-ROM content) then that's what should be listed.
I don't edit it directly because I'd be taking half of the current article (which is a bunch of lists, for the most part) out. But I believe it should be done. I'll make it myself later if there is no opposition. When I go to see an article on the Black Widow saying "It's a spider, and as such has eight legs, two body segments, no chewing mouth parts and no wings". It's a spider, and in the article about spiders it clearly says what this means. Same thing. eduo 15:26, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Is the RatDVD compression lossless or lossy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 512upload ( talk • contribs) 16:56, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
On ratDVD.ca they claim many players support the format. So I tried Windows Media Player and Ashampoo's player (on Windows XP). None of them recognized ratDVD. Then I downloaded ratDVD itself. Turns out the latest version (v0.78) is free. After that, WMP can play ratDVD files. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.249.223.23 ( talk) 18:16, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
