Question about converting DVD to .avi.......

[mjvgiese]

I've been backing up my dvd's to vcd for a couple months now, using Smartripper, DVD2AVI, and TMPG. This has been working great, but I've recently had an idea that I want to try, so I need to know how to convert the vob files from a dvd to avi. (DivX codec would be fine, but I'm flexible about this... )

I tried the "Save as avi" feature in DVD2AVI, but it saves the video and audio separete. What I would like is an easy to use program that will save an avi (with the sound and audio in one file) from vob files.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Yes, unfortunately I have never used DVD2AVI to create DivX or XviD files. Why not give AutoGK (for newer users) or Gordian Knot (for experienced users) a shot? They're both excellent packages, and I'm sure AutoGK will save you a lot of headaches.

I would use Virtualdub MPEG2.

I have used DVDx version 2.2 to convert from DVD to Divx AVI...using this guide: http://www.polarhome.com:793/~afonic/divx5.htm

takes a while for a full DVD...but the quality is very good, and you get a "small" AVI file for editing in VDUB if needed...

just a thought
