ripping with less steps

[photoman]

Question, is there any way to rip without alot of the in between steps to the final burn????? I am using SmartRipper, then to DVDtoAVI, and to TMPG, then onto the burner it goes (which is the HP internal computer one). I noticed that after the first step it is a VOB file, is there any way to rename it off the bat so the burners software will take it?? 'Cause I have to use the MyDVD software that came with it and it has to see either MPEG or AVI files for it to burn. Any suggestions?????????

if i'm not mistaken i think DVDX can rip and convert. i've only used it once and i wasn't to happy with the end result............
