"I am looking for a program to convert DVD to AVI or WMV or other formats for web use. What would be the best recommendation?"
Got tons of DVD movies and want to rip your DVD movies to AVI or other formats? Want to rip DVD movies to your portable devices like iPad, iPhone 4, Apple TV, Zune, PSP and a lot more other mobile devices, so that you can enjoy movies without any limits? Well, as DVDs are high quality and you can rip them to your PC, they do have drawbacks, such as large file sizes(4-9 Gigabytes per movie) and obscure file-naming. By ripping a DVD to an AVI or other file, you benefit from small and portable file sizes, your own file naming. Also, the files can be used for video editing. This tutorial will teach you how to make a nearly identical DVD ripping with iFunia DVD ripper Pro for Windows that you can archive and play in your set top DVD player or iPad, iPhone 4, Apple TV, Zune, BlackBerry and so on portable player devices.
Necessary Preparation
* DVD movies
* iFunia DVD Ripper Pro for Windows
* Portable movies player
DVD video info
The video on DVDs is in a special format called mpeg2, sort of similar to mp3 for audio files. Mpeg2 makes video files small enough to fit on DVDs (they are actually even bigger than these very large DVD files. Before we can deal directly with the video information, DVD's have a number of copy prevention mechanisms. When you rip the DVD you strip off those mechanisms, but copy the rest of the video unadulterated. This means that the ripped DVD will take up as much space as the files on the DVD itself. In order to successfully complete this process, you need to have a minimum of 5 gigs free after you copy the DVD(s) to your hard drive. Unless you run out of free hard drive space, you can keep ripping DVDs to hard drive.
