Easy DVD to AVI method

[insx]

Hi Folks

I've been refining the way that I rip DVDs to AVI since we bought our daughter an mp4 player for her birthday. My latest method is stunningly easy.

1. Install DVD43 which seems to get around the DVD encryption and region lock
2. Install Handbrake
3. Insert DVD
4. Select the DVD as the source and encode using the 'Classic' profile in handbrake
5. Depending on the player used, you might need to use .avi instead of .mp4 as the file extension

No need to decrypt to the hard disk first, no sync issues so far.

Cheers
Tim
