How to rip a DVD: A Tutorial

Ripping a DVD to xvid or divx avi is really quite easy, if you have the right tools. You’ll first need to download DVD Decrypter and Auto Gordian Knot.
DVD decrypter allows you to rip the raw DVD video and audio data off of
your disk drive, decrypt the CSS protection, and finally remove any
other protection schemes, such as Macrovision. AutoGK is a package of
codecs and a GUI interface that will take the raw DVD data through an
AV processing pipeline to produce a single windows video file.

Step 1: RIP

Put in a DVD and launch DVD Decrypter. Choose IFO (Information File) mode:



Now make sure you’ve selected a destination for your files:



Now
you need to find which program chain to rip (PGC). Pick the one that’s
the longest, or in the case of a TV dvd, the episode you want to rip:



Everything’s
set up. Just click the green arrow and wait about twenty minutes, after
which you will have a set of files which look like this:

VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_PGC_07 - Stream Information.txt
VTS_01_PGC_07_1.VOB

The whole ripping process shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes.

Step 2: ENCODE

Launch AutoGK and select the first .vob that you just ripped as an input file, and set an output file name:



Now you need to select audio (choose the first one) and subtitles, if any:



If
you’re ripping a TV, set the preferred size to 350MB, if you’re ripping
a movie, choose either 700MB or 1400MB, depending on your preference:



Finally, click on advanced settings and choose MP3 VBR 128kbps:



Then click “add job” and “start.” After all this, you’ll have a log that looks like the following:

Step 3: WATCH

You’re done. Delete all the non .avi files and enjoy the fruits of your ripping.

*TIP:
If you want to hardcode the subtitles into your AVI file (meaning the
subtitles are not separate .srt files from the movie, you should press
CTRL + F8 and load the external subs you have previously created or
downloaded. If you enabled the Stream Processing tab in DVD Decrypter
and if you selected a specific subtitle language to be included in
AutoGK, your output AVI file in will automatically include the subtitle
files (.srt extension).

I've been using this program and I'm
able to watch Divx movies on my portable DVD Player that supports Divx
and subtitles. Usually, the preferred size for DVD Rips is 700 MB. With
this size, you can already include the subtitle file and burn them in
one data CD or in my case, I burn 6 movies in 1 DVD disk.
