Dvd to avi??

Jazzman

Hey all,
I'm in need of a program to convert dvd to avi. I got Dvd shrink to get the clits i want from the dvd but they are still in dvd format. Any info much appreciated. Free download is always preferred.

I used lots of programs before but by far the easiest to use was EasyDivX...Gives you a choice as to what size, format, aspect ratio, and subtitles to use...

theres a link....by the way its as easy to use as the name suggests......takes a while if your not running a big system....like on my old P3 500 it took about 10 hours but the rips are perfect DivX quality

i use the same method ive been using for the last 2 or 3 years a combination of gordian knot and vidomi. have tried a few single click solutions but found the quality no to be as good, all always with these issues chack out www.videohelp.com and www.doom9.org for methods and guides to suit your needs and links to all the tools you need both freeware and payed

again, superdvdripper is highly recommended.

Try AutoGK. It's supposed to be really good for newbie encoders. A few clicks and your done kinda thing.

hi
i dont want to change the subject, but its kinda related...
i want to change avi's so that i can burn them to dvd and watch on my dvd player (i'm guessing it wont play avi files?)

will pinacle studio 9 do this?
thanks

@ hacksaw,

there's a mpeg2 encoder for nero6 that will convert avi, mpg etc to dvd video files and then burn them as a dvd movie.

I agree with the AutoGK guy. simple and good.

super DVD Ripper turns a normal 10-15Gb dvd into a 4.7Gb one...it doesnt make it into AVI...just use easy div x...is soooo easy

i think nero vision express 3 is good also not too sure bout avi from dvd but does everything i need it too


good luck with your encoding..

HacksawEddie

thanks,will try get that tool
...kaimera...do i have to downlad nerovision first, then the encoder (as nero's site tells me) or can i just get the encoder and use nero 6 as normal with the added option?

cheers

Depending on what you want to use the avi for, you might find pocketdivxencoder useful - Has lots of presets for various PocketPCs etc, but just as useful for making regular divx rips. And use dvddecrypter to copy the disc to your HD first - It makes the process less prone to read errors.
