Best DVD to AVI or MPEG Tool

[laspis59]

Hi all.

I'm currently using FairUse Wizard for ripping DVD to avi with the divx codec,but it takes so long.(Inpatient)
Does anyone know of a similar tool that is basically,FASTER

Thanks

I like AutoGK for this. The speed isn't so much the software I don't think, as opposed to the codec and/or your PC specs, as a while back I tried Dr Divx, Fairuse wizrd, and AutoGK. I can't remember the exact results, but I *think* I found XviD to be quicker than DivX on the exact same source, and I found AutoGK to be the most noob-friendly and easiest to set up.

FWIW, it takes me roughly 2 hours for every 1 hour of footage with autoGK.

Thanks I'll have a go using AutoGK.I've read the comments though:

and a lot of people claim that it contains spy/adware.Is this true?
I usually use divx but will now try xvid if what you say is true,that its faster.
Thanks.

Yes, it does ...

... but it is seriously piss-easy to remove:




XviD was just faster on my machine - I dunno whether that holds true unequivocally or not ...

Your right its a piece of piss to remove that crap.

Hmmm OK I downloaded AutoGK and their is no spyware/adware.I was going to follow those simple steps for removing the junk but DAE isnt installed and dae.dll isnt in the System32 folder.I rebooted run autoGK but the junk just aint there.

[jimmalenko]

Did you download the latest Beta, or the latest stable version ? AFAIK it's in version 1.95 onwards.

[laspis59]

Its v1.96 Stable

[jimmalenko]

Oh well ...

... No use crying over lost spyware, eh ?

Just checked the AutoGK FAQ at Doom9, and found this:

5.10 During install of AutoGK my antivirus software picked up file dae.exe/dae.dll and reported it as a trojan. Is it really infected?
- no, its an adware package that is bundled with the installer (see disclaimer during installation). Search the forum for more info - it has been extensively discussed already. *Update* versions 1.96 / 2.08+ are no longer bundled with DAE.
