Thoughts on DVD2ONE and making AMVs

My cousin showed me this program, DVD2ONE, which takes all of the files of the ripped DVD and somehow organizes and combines them to make a smaller total file size. I have figured out that I can open up the new VOB files in Windows Media Player and I have full DVD quality footage (*I think*) and full sound. I did a test using DVD2AVI and opened up the "abridged" files. To me, the picture quality looks damn good.

My question: is it possible to use this program to SIGNIFICANTLY reduce the DVD rip file size and still use the altered VOB files for use in an AMV?

All you have to do is rip only the video stream when you rip the vobs and it will be smaller too :\

Thats all DVD2One does... it lets you turn off certain aspects of the dvd, like audio streams or menus. It also recompresses the video if your not careful, which WILL result in lower quality video.

What Zarxrax said there pretty much. I would only use it to rip the files, you do not want it recompressing them.

You can already strip out the Audio/Subtitle tracks of a vob file using Smart Ripper or DVD Decryptor. So it doesn't really have any advantages that I can think of.
