Saving DVD as an AVI to PC?

Question

Hmmm..... well I still can't get this one.

What I would like to do is RIP a DVD to my PC as an AVI file. Don't need to burn it onto a disk, it's just backup so I can watch on PC. Maybe drag a few home movies for editing into Windows Movie Maker (who needs to see a 30 minutes of uncle phil snoring in front of the tele?).

I've downloaded all sorts of programs (DVD Shrink, Decrypter, Dameon, etc.) but none of them seem capable of ripping the DVD into anything more then seperate video and audio files. None of which I can then just throw into WinAmp or Media player to watch.

So .... how can I RIP my DVD's into an AVI format?

Answer 1

Ok you need the Dvd Decrypter to pass the dvd to your hard drive, and then use a video converter to make the dvd to avi

Here is a free one

Answer 2

Try Nero I actually usually don't use the re-coder on mine, but it has a re-coder which is what is used to change a format of a video file.

Answer 3

i am just guessing but i believe that windows media player should be able to rip it by adding it to your library it will then convert
