Video/Computer People...DVD to DivX

[kerrywins]

Does anyone know what program(s) I can use to EASILY get my DVD to DivX? Or is there no software YET that can do it easily?

1. Easy, maybe. Fast? no. And the legality is questionable

BUT, I think DVD 123 had a utility in it. Alcohol 120% most likely does, too.

3. The legality is probably fine if it's for personal use.

Compressing already owned films minus the extras to put on a laptop for travel, for example. Or, as I just did, copying the film from a scratched DVD and reburning it to a DVD-R for archival purposes (and to watch without the stuttering and stopping resulting from the scratches).

2. Go to www.videohelp.com

There's all kinds of software and easy-to-follow guides that should help you do this.

5. I take it by everyone's response...

that the answer is no.

I mean....if it was easy...yall would describe the process quickly the way I would describe how to rip cd's:

download mediasource, click audio cd,
tools | settings| Audio CD Rip tab | under rip format change to what you want,
select the tracks you want, click the -> arrow button. thats it...it should be ripping...
