DVDx
I downloaded DVDx from sourceforge.net last night, and tried it out…looks like I’ve finally found a useful, non-hardcore-geek oriented DVD rip/conversion program. It’s a one step process to rip and encode to .avi or .mpg, and it automatically sets bitrate to fit on a VCD or other specified media size. It takes a while (about 4 hours to rip all 2 hours of Charade at VCD quality), but looks great for something you could leave running over night. I’ve checked quality really briefly, but I’m gonna watch my rip when I get home tonight and see what the final verdict is. Looks promising though. DVD piracy…er….backup, here I come.
