As I said just last night in a different thread, you'll want SmartRipper, DVD2AVI, and AVISynth. Then you'll want to R<a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech/">EADFAG</a>, which is also where you can find links to the aforementioned programs (off the "Useful Software List" page).

He speaks the truth, the main page has this link to a whole nifty page of nothing but guides. But don't feel bad, anyone asking these stupid questions always gets pointed to the guides so don't feel singled out.
So in other words, one part of the community is waging war on another part of the community because they take their community seriously enough to want to do so. Then they tell the powerless side to get over the loss cause it's just an online community. I'm glad people make so much sense." -- Tab

Don't use DVD2AVI to save AVI files. Use DVD2AVI to save <i>D2V</i> files (DVD2AVI project files), then write AVISynth scripts for the D2Vs and load the scripts into VirtualDub, THEN use VirtualDub to save the AVI files.

Or, perhaps a better idea: Use <a href="http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net">VirtualDubMod</a> to open the VOBs directly, bypassing DVD2AVI entirely, and save the AVIs without any intermediate steps. I just tried loading up a VOB in VDubMod, and it went off without a hitch; however, there's been no guide written for this method yet, so you might feel safer using DVD2AVI, AVISynth, and VDub.

I feel like I've been overusing the phrases "Don't use DivX source" and "Don't use DVD2AVI to save AVI files" in the past month or so...

Crap. Forgot to mention: If you're the kind who likes editing directly with AVISynth scripts (like me), then the second method will do nothing for you. In that case, you just save the DVD2AVI project files, write AVISynth scripts for them, and feed those into your editing software.

I have always used claddvd and flaskmpeg to rip and encode. I have not had many problems with flask, and never any problems with claddvd. You can find both programs at www.divx-digest.com.
