I've only just started, using smartripper, dvd2avi and dvdx. Two things really:
- Do you prefer to rip a whole 2 hr movie to one CD, or span it over two for 'better' quality?
- Can you do 2 pass encoding through dvdx? I tried but it kept spuing out errors or crashing on the 2nd pass...that was a while ago now though, and I quickly left it.

thanks
