What software(s) do you guys use to rip a full dvd to an encoded AVI, MKV, or other format? Which format(s) do you prefer/why? I've got some DVDs I want to back up before they [eventually] die and am looking for some feedback..
Rip with DVDDecryptor, encode with MeGUI, contain with MKVMerge.
MKV is feature enriched, whilst AVI has higher compatibility.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests
You might be right about that, Joe.
Which container do you guys recommend? MKV or AVI? I've heard MKV has better compression ratios resulting in high-quality video while being a low-space format.
mencoder from the mplayer suite. It's quite technical to use but you can encode any format from any format.I recommend not decrypting the DVD. Laws like the DMCA specifically prohibit circumventing the protection schemes (fair use does not apply). However, a lot of DVD backup software merely copies the raw DVD image without decrypting which arguably doesn't circumvent the protection schemes.

You're allowed to break encryption for fair use (CSS on DVDs to play them on Linux, for example). It's totally legal do reencode.

No where are there clauses that permit circumventing copy protection for backups. Those clauses are the only form of fair use.
Is DVD Decrypter free? I found the "original unofficial" mirror, but I'm a bit wary of random websites.

Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there
Our species really annoys me.

That's why I switched to Mac....QFT.Joe: handbrake runs on Windows too (and runs better might I add) and I bought my MacBook Pro so that none of the hardware would die/be difficult to replace. =Prabbit: Why is handbrake awful? Explain. It seems to do the trick. I even found guides for "properly" ripping (scene standards iirc? idk) with HandBrake!
At the risk of sounding like a retard, why would you want to encode specifically at 23.976 fps? I realize that's NTSC (or PAL?) but it should play fine anyhow.
