Hey guys I know this has been asked before but what would you recommend to take a downloaded DVD and convert it to AVI?
I have 5 VOB files and want to make one single AVI that is good quality.

Thanks
 
Did you download the dvd image or just the files? I use Fair Use Wizard to rip dvd format to avi. /but i think it needs the image to be mounted...
 
dvd shrink to remove any copyright protection and then you can use nero recode to convert it to mp4
 
You have to use DVD Shrink to turn the separate files back into a disc image. Then use Fair Use Wizard to rip from that disc image. The instructions are all in my Free Software thread under the DVD section.
 
1) Remove Region Protection...
Install this program first... it will remove the copy protection and macrovision while you decrypt... (and will also allow you to watch region protected discs in the future)...

2) To make a backup of a DVD to another DVD...
DVD Decrypter can rip the DVD to your hard drive or make an ISO image...

(Note: DVD Decrypter removes the CSS encryption on the DVD)
If DVDDecrypter has problems with a newer DVD install DVD43 (above).
If you have ripped the DVD files to your hard drive, you can then use DVD shrink to make the image smaller and turn it into an ISO file that I can fit onto one DVD... Note: you have to select ISO image as the target file from the drop down menu.

Once you have the ISO image you can use this program to burn it back to a DVD...

3) To Rip a DVD to an AVI or DivX (XviD) file...
The free version of this program Fair Use Wizard can rip any DVD to a 700 Mb AVI (XVid) File... with just one click...

but.... I find I get a much better quality rip, when I follow these steps...
i) Use DVD Decrypter to rip the DVD to your Hard Drive.
ii) Use DVD Shrink to make an ISO image of the DVD, but turn the compression off completely, in other words, the ISO image will be an exact image of the DVD. Also enable the two extra read options in DVD Shrink to get a better quality image, it is slower, but it pays off. Put that image on a different drive to the one you are going to rip to.
iii) Now use Fair Use Wizard to rip from that unencrypted image in your hard disk. You will get a very high quality rip with no artifacts and no "streaking".
Compare that to a rip straight from the DVD and you will see what I mean. Of course the quality of your DVD drive and speed of your processor is also a factor. 3.0 Ghz strongly recommended!
Here is a guide for Fair Use Wizard... if you need one...

Yes...Handbreak for sure. When you click on source...it will then look for a DVD image. At the bottom left of the file browser box, you will see a option to select DVD folder. Tick it. It will then allow you to select a Video-ts folder as the source.
 
Oi...just remembered now though. Handbreak does not support AVI container no more. Your file will be either mp4 or matroska! Use the H.264 codec. gives great quality.
