AcidRip
is a simplified GUI for converting a DVD to
an AVI file. In short:
Click the Reload button to obtain a table of contents
for the DVD;
Change the Disc title appropriately;
Choose the No. Files (1 by default, but 2 if there is a
problem identified with the Video Bits/Pixel;
Set the Info to name the movie;
Select a Subtitle if desired;
On the Video tab, perhaps click the Detect
button for cropping to the correct size, but leave it as 0 and see
what happens;
On the Video tab, turn off the Scale option
so that you get the original size;
On the Preview tab you can choose to watch a bit of a
preview of the resulting movie;
When you are ready, click the Start button and over
the next few hours the work will be done. Note that the main window
collapses to a progress window while the work is being done.
