Converting DVD to AVI

[staabie66]

Is there some sort of guide or program that some one can reccomend. I have done one before but the audio was all of of sync and it was like 2 gb. Can someone help make the audio be correct and then compress to 700 MB.

I like Fairuse better. Does the ripping AND encoding and audio//video synching is better.

Entirely depends on processor speed and architecture.

First link listed (DivX Digest) points to that very URL. In case there was any confusion, the All-Knowing Oracle is Google.

The adage "Teach a man to fish" comes to mind.

While I agree, I think 99% of the questions asked here could/should just then be answered with "http://www.google.com"

Unfortunately true.

I'll try Fairuse, but im still letting the one I had going before go. How can I find out how much time is left? Its been saying Remaing: 1:28 for about 2 hours?

thanks

I prefer regular (not auto) Gordian Knot. 2-pass encodes to 700mb take anywhere from 4-8 hours, depending on movie length, on a p4b 2.67. You should also have Virtual Dub and Audacity, good free programs to edit video & audio respectively.

autogordionknot tutorial says

DVD input is used when you supply a directory that contains VOB files, IFO file and Stream Info file ("Stream Information.txt"). This file contains information about audio and subtitle streams that are available for you to select in AutoGK. This option does not mean that AutoGK can work directly with DVDs (it will never be able to do so)

where do i get a VOB IFO and and stream info file?

EDIT: the tutorial

EDIT2: nevermind, i think i figured it out

Win AVI is decent....although there are better.

I just want to rip a 10 min. clip from a movie, into AVI or MPEG, or whatever. Any good free software for that? Fairuse won't let you do that on the trial.
