What is the best software available to convert DVD movies onto CDR backups?

You will have to rip your DVD and encode it to DivX or XViD.

The best place to start would probably be to get yourself a copy of Gordian Knot (ppl say its the best package of multi-tools to make a DivX). And then follow the guides they have on there for using Gordian Knot and DivX Pro.

I have no knowledge for making XViDs however, its pretty much new, and its widely used in the *ahem*... movie warez scene.

Quite a complex procedure!!

I was thinking of something more simple wizard based. Ideally I would want to fit a dvd rip onto one cd in divx format..

well, depends of the length of the film, average 150min dvd would need 2 cds if i'm not mistaken

Yeah its complex, but you get brilliant quality out of using seperate tools which Gordian Knot controls.

There are some wizard based commercial apps that simplify the whole process, but they give out very bad quality video

Try out Super DVD Ripper 1.9 (downloads.com), it lets you convert to divx and other formats in customisable quality, pretty good software apart from the interface.

http://www.doom9.org is a good place to start. Heck of guide that really holds your hand.

anyone tried dr divx?

it wont run on my system god knows y

dr divx

its made by the ppl that made the divx codec

i keep getting memory allocation errors

so i uninstalled it

it was there first version (dr divx 1.0)

but it had a really nice simple layout

dvd2svcd it good. it converts to svcd then you can use flaskmpeg to convert it to divx.

I've found nothing simpler than FlaskMpeg. I am able to get some really nice video out of it with a minimal amount of effort. CladDVD is what I like use for pulling out VOBs.

I would suggest you to use DVD Rippack (http://rippack.bheller.com).

It's very very simple to use, try last version v16.1

You should try this prog to convert your DVD movies to one, two, three, and so on CDs
