DVD Episodes --> DIVX/XVID?

[matstars]

I tried doing a search on this board and came up empty

I have just purchased seasons 1-4 of the simpsons however I want to back them up and I have limited Diskspace so I want to grab each episode - about 4-5 per dvd.... I know how to do it with DVDDecryptor & Dr.DivX, which is nice but it takes a while to do... I was wondering if (ron pepeele) I could set it and forget it, rip each episode off the dvd and flip them to a divx or an xvid in one shot. Thanks

Why not back them up to DVD-R. Converting them to Divx or XviD is a hassle for backups. Also burners are very cheap nowadays and wont sacrifice diskspace.

While back, I used FairUse to make Xvids of all my family guys dvds.

Virtualdub-MPEG2 , FlaskMPEG, DVD2AVI .
These should help you, and VD also has a batch processing.

dvddecrypter then autogk

175MB files should be fine for the simpsons

with dvd decryptor i have to individually rip the files, no?

[Stormin Norman]

Decrypt main movie files, encode to .avi, use Virtualdub to seperate episodes in direct stream copy mode. It only takes minutes to cut into individual eps.

there is no main movie file, theres a bunch of 22 minute files

Select file mode, then click on the edit menu and select main movie files.
