DVD (VOB) files to DV AVI

[Andreas Wideroe]

I'm looking for an easy to use and free tool to convert DVD files to DV files (AVI or MOV). Any recommendations?

DVD2AVI have allways worked nicely for me. It will work as a frame server:

You might also want to check out a more allround tool like Graphedit - it's the one I allways fall back on:

I have FairUse. Isn't that ripping DVDs into DivX codec, though? ...well, that's the FairUse *I* have. I've been able to expose quite a few of my favorite obscure movies to my friends using that program.

I believe, in terms of sound, it only works with Dolby AC3 tracks. (not PCM or DTS)

no idea since i am on a mac. saw it recommended on that site seemingly capable of rip&export to avi. my mac however exports (whatever it can read) to divx.avi with optional quality settings.

Yes, use a program like DVD decryptor to rip to your hard disc. Then use DVD2AVI to frame serve. Then use TMPGEnc to convert to MPEG or VIRTUAL Dub to convert to AVI. This will take a LONG time....

That's what I hate about DVD ripping and converting. There are so many programs that will only do half and so many that converts to odd formats such as xvid and divx and more.

I finally found a tool that works great! Actually two tools.

DVD Decryptor if you have encrypted DVDs and Nero Vision for converting. Nero is absolutley great and can output to DV, AVI, WMV, MPG-1 and MPG-2.

Now I'm satisfied! Thanks for your suggestions!
