digifan,

Gordian Knot contains all the smaller programs you need to do the whole job ... (Smart Ripper, DVD2AVI, ...)

http://www.doom9.org/ - another good site for info ...

If you want to encode to mpg, i would go smartripper > dvd2avi > tmpegenc ...

send me an email if you have any questions,

not sure what you'd need smartripper for. I guess he doesn't need chapter info etc just the pure movies

open one or all vob files of the DVD in dvd2avi and save them as blabla project. Afterwards, load the project in tmpgenc and convert to mpg. Very easy

Celeron 2.4c & an Abit IC7 board overclocked to 3.6ghz @ 1200mhz FSB?

Hmm, never thought of that honestly ... im just used to using SR to grab the VOB's ... never even thought of taking them right off the dvd ... time to play :)

Thanks again guys, you rock.
:thumbsup

I just use dvd ripper 1.9 but it takes 5 hours to rip a single dvd.
