Try Devede for that instead.

I use Devede To create dvds

ok, then try Tovid.

i'm pretty sure you can also use it to create avi files. iirc k9copy could also do this (or at least create an avi from an actual dvd).

EDIT: I may be thinking of Handbrake instead of DeVeDe

 

[milomak]

i think dvd::rip is also a pretty good program

I use DVDShrink 1st and then Auto Gordian Knot afterwards to convert to what Xvid or DivX. Both are free!!!

I use mplayer/mencoder. Something like this:

vobcopy -i /media/cdrom0 -m

copy DVD to HDD

mplayer VTS_01_1.VOB -v

check where is the audio

mplayer -vf cropdetect VTS_01_2.VOB

discard borders and black areas around useful content.

Now cat together useful VOBs and encode

-aid is audio ID and crop is crop
