Can someone recommend a good quality ripper ?

DVDFab
DVDShrink to rip

Then use something else to get it into AVI format. Like TMPGENC, DVDSanta (maybe)

I can get it into VOB no problem, but I've yet to find something that can covert it into .avi

Will check the 2 you mention.

Surely there's a single app that can both read the DVD and output an .avi ?

Bioforger, just checked DVD Santa - are you sure it can do DVD > AVI cos I know it can do AVI > DVD

Why do u need it in AVI ?

You need a divx encoder really. Not sure what would be best for that.

1Click DVD to DIVX XVID AVI Converter Rip and Convert DVD to DIVX,DVD to XVID,DVD to AVI is an example, just google on it.

Its a long time since AVI/MPEG4/DivX concerned me, but when it did I used FlaskMPEG, nothing else came close.

I need to get video off a DVD and deliver it onto the web and there's doesn't seem to be any programs that do this in one go, hence step1 is extracting from DVD into avi if possible.

I did find a solution which gave excellent results - namely the use of dvdshrink and flash encoder

thanks all

dvd shrink is cool and free .. turn off the preview mode to make it work quicker ..

Are you using Windows or Linux ? DVDRip is a good one on Ubuntu Linux, as is the built-in tools on MythTV.

Thanks druddle, I use Windows and the problem is now solved.

As for the background to this story - a mate asked me to put together small website for his company and he wanted it to look EXACTLY like the brochures. I'm a bit of a novice, so I used Flash, which can dynamically resize the images and video to suit the browser window size.
