DVD to Avi

**freakee1** · 21-08-08, 10:29 PM

Hello

I'm sure this has been asked - but here goes anyway

to make a long story short - got a terrabit drive which is shared at work, a couple of us put tv series movies games etc on it for the others (about 20) to watch when doing night shift. Couple of us has a very extensive DVD collections and would all like to add them on the drive so I am chasing a bit of software that is simple to use to rip DVD's to avi's without removing the quality.

The guys that will use the software know how to turn a computer on - but not much more than click here click there go OK and works

is there anything out there that is really simple to use and works well?

thanks

Hi freakee1,

Have a look in this forum "Sound/Visual/Digital Multimedia" it has a few threads on what your looking for.

Cheers

I like the combination of DVDDecrypter, AutoGK and/or Videora.

I use DVDDecrypter to RIP to single VOB file and then AutoGK to compress to, usually, Xvid and Videora to convert any AVI's to MP4 for the Ipod Video.

A good feature of DVDDecrypter is it's IFO mode where if you want to rip say a TV Series from DVD, you can select each episode in turn and make a seperate VOB for each episode then convert using AutoGK to smaller AVI's.

There are quite a few excellent tutorials on using these various proggies.

Videora Converter

Just to name a few.

I have tried various converters over the years, but have found that the above 3 programs suit my needs and produce excellent quality videos.

Naturally, opinions vary greatly, so best to take in all that people suggest, try, and deceide for yourself.
