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 only rip rare movies from dvds. It's not worth the time and effort to rip dvds with it is easy to get 1080p copies of the same movies. An example of a DVD I riped is Enchanted Adventure.
