What is the best / easiest way to rip DVDs to DivX? [vcd encode] [thanks in advance]

Q: I read some articles about how to rip DVD to DivX, but they all seem to burn a VCD or encoding, or resize the rip to 700 MB if the ultimate goal. What I want to do is rip my DVDs to DivX for storage on my hard drive HTPCs. The actual size is secondary to having any compression and with them on the hard disk for easy access.

Please suggest apps and / or methods to do this in the simplest way possible. .

FAIRUSE is the best…hands down
Its a shame that he started charging for it (and a joke as he hides behind his GNU disclaimer)

Yeah, I don't use it much anymore, but when I do, I just use an older version I still have. Works fine. Fair Use is by far the best dvd2divx program I have ever used.


Re:I use No.1 DVD Ripper.

Been using it over a year – there is a cost involved though – works very well indeed.

THIS THING ROCKS LIKE A MOFO (http://sourceforge.net/projects/fairuse/)

Easy as clicking a few buttons.

Encode with DivX or Xvid, choose from multiple audio formats.

It used to be free, now they ask for a donation, IIRC. Worth every penny.

Do you know where you can get the previously free version still?

*JUST TO BE CLEAR I AM NOT ASKING FOR THE CURRENT PAY VERSION*


Re:Both Fairuse and Dr. Divx are good DVD to Divx programs, but Dr. Divx is ~$40 or so and you could get Fairuse for much cheaper.

Re:www.doom9.org

I find that Gordianknot used with DivX5 or XviD is an excellent program for ripping DVDs.


Re:I think you want DVDDecrypter and maybe DVDShrink and maybe TMPGenc

Re:1) Take article
2) Change "700MB" to "1400MB" or whatever you like
3) …
4) Profit!
