    I've been looking for DVD to WMV software that produces perfect, or near perfect DVD quality rips. So far, I've tried a few different programs, and after about 5 hours of ripping I end up with grainy picture and sometimes out of synch sound...

    So, does anybody know of a good DVD to WMV program? Any help would be appreciated!

    I don't know of any one program that does it. I prefer to extract to MPEG using VOB2MPG, convert to DV-AVI using virtualdub and then convert to WMV using WMM or WME.
    If in doubt, Google it.

    encode the audio seperately do all the same things you would do w/ an avi w/ the exception of encoding as avi.. if you've messed around any w/ 3GP Converter it has the ability to take an avisyth script and convert it out to a wmv so just use the same basis for it.

    Kind of in the same boat. Have DVD that I need to ultimately get as an .AVI (needing to edit). Can't be xvid or divx...need the uncompressed avi. The very end result after editing is going on web - either with WME as WMV or in Flash. I would take the VOB straight into Vdub mpeg and save out as AVI but due to the ac3, it's way out of sync and messed up.

    jimmalenko, is what your describing the best method for getting the uncompressed avi?

    Technically No, because DV-AVI is not uncompressed AVI - it's compressed 5:1 IIRC. However, there would be nothing stopping you saving to uncompressed instead of DV-AVI when using virtualdub. I am yet to find a circumstance where the DV-AVI was not "good enough" and I needed uncompressed (or losslessy compressed).
    If in doubt, Google it.
