What's a good program to convert DVDs to AVI files with subtitles that work?

Is there much difference in quality of picture and sound between programs?

I used to use a program, but I forget what it was. However, the subs often didn't work, and sometimes the sound got out of synch.

Any advice, please?

Thanks!

dvdshrink for windows is the best I have used.

JBomb, I've been using DVDShrink for some time now and I have never seen an option for converting a DVD to an avi file. I looked again, and still can't find it. Am I missing something?


I_Am_The_Kiwi, I guess I am dumber than a monkey then. Cause when I tried opening the video files from a DVD, nothing happened. So I tried looking at the tutorial. Didn't see anything helpful. Did see that it could take more than five hours to convert the files on my laptop. That is a heck of a lot longer from the programs I have used in the past. Is this true? Could you tell me how to open a DVD on this program?

Any other options?

Thanks.

You have to first rip the dvd (can use dvd decrypter) and then encode to avi using AutoGK.

Here's a tutorial: http://www.aeonity.com/david/how-convert-dvds-avi-video-format-tutorial

Yes, it can take a long time to re-encode, especially using a laptop.

like wormhole said, you need to rip the dvd to your hard drive first. if you encode straight from the dvd it would just take longer anyways.

a few horus to convert - sounds about right depending on the specs of your laptop - but remember you are taking 4.5GB+ of movie and compressing it into 700MB. it will take a while

or you could just download whatever the movie is that your encoding....faster and better quality most likely cos they havnt used an all-in-1 app to do it.

You get a couple of guys trying to give you good advice, links to programs and tutorials, then you go off and download a program which is freeware off torrents and includes a virus warning... I think I'll stop trying to help now.

I use WINAVI and IMGBURN.
Winavi converts between quite a few formats.
Imgburn is useful for building and writing.

Step 1 - rip DVD to hard drive with
DVD Decrypter

Step 2 - encode DVD files to avi file (xvid is my choice of codec) with
AutoGK
