Handbrake isn't recommended any more? That's what I'd used for my ripping. By original quality, you mean extracting the the mpeg-2 or just that Handbrake did bad transcoding?
Yeah Handbrake does fine for my collection. Results depend greatly on what encoding you options you use
I rip with makemkv then use handbrake for slimming down to hevc/aac. I have too many discs and not enough storage to keep the raw rips. Newer handbrake supports nvidia transcoding for hevc, getting some great quality, but I wish it would support audio tracks and subtitles better… for multilingual subtitles I have a custom ffmpeg script that does a decent enough job.
Also cropping can be a pain in the ass with both ffmpeg and handbrake, much less so on the latter.
