I travel and find my battery lasts longer when I view films without
using the disc, so I'm looking to buy good software which actually
works, makes decent video avi files and isn't a waste of time.

Thank you. I must be doing something wrong; an incorrect setting
somewhere. First it is scheduled to take about 4 hours to convert. Is
this correct? Then, when I do a test run of the avi file it is
completely pixelated and shaky. Would you mind telling me what
settings you use and how well yours come out. I am using an Dell
Inspiron 9300 Desktop Replacement with a 17 inch sreen. Operating
system is XP Media Center. Any help would be appreciated a lot.
4hrs seems a little slow. What CPU are you using, and how much memory?
Hope this helps.
Mike

AutoGK http://www.autogk.me.uk/ is free and does a good job in conversion
to AVI. You have a choice of either DivX or Xvid codecs.
Program features support of:
- DVD/VOBs(unencrypted from hdd), MPEG2, MPEG1, transport streams (including
multi-program ones) and AVI/DV input sources
- XviD or DivX(5/6) output formats
- AC3, DTS, PCM, MPA input audio tracks
- AC3, DTS, MPA, CBR/VBR MP3 output audio tracks
- two audio tracks in AVI
- external (vobsub) or internal (burnt-in) subtitles (with support of forced
subs)
- HDTV input/output resolutions(upto 1920x***) and frame rates (50/60fps)
- automatic crop and resize based on compressibility of the source to
achieve best results
- automatic detection of input source: PAL, NTSC, FILM, HYBRID
- automatic deinterlacer and IVTC
- automatic split into CD-sized chunks for main video and external subs
I have a gig of RAM and it's Centrino. Actually, I think what I
decided to do is to upload the whole DVD to the hard drive for
traveling and deleting it when I get home. I have never found a
decent compression where it wasn't shaky or pixelating. I'll give
your suggestion a try.

4.26gb DVD (Surf's Up) converted back to .avi (669,335mb) in 2h20
minutes.
My PC stats: 3.6ghz
2GB RAM
Had DVD on HDD & converted from there to temp folder.
Used Ahead DVD Ripper (as you have)
Maybe you tried to convert from DVD in DVD-rom drive?
I did too first off, but with "refusal" error.

Re; DVDFab Platinum 3.1.6.0 - Final Full version
By the way, Do NOT reboot when asked after "install"!!!!! There are
instructions included. Open with Notepad or similar.

Here it is.
DVD to avi. file best software?
