DVD to AVI?

I can rip a DVD to an mkv in one step on my Mac.

At least I don't need to get my PC's motherboard replaced after 8 months.

O RLY?  That's why I switched to Mac....

I'm pretty sure this is an isolated incident, but occasionally when I game my graphics card derps out, the bottom half of the screen starts flashing and I lose all input except moving my mouse (can't click anything).

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. =P

rabbit: Why is handbrake awful? Explain. It seems to do the trick. I even found guides for "properly" ripping (scene standards iirc? idk) with HandBrake!

It is literally impossible to get HandBrake to encode at 23.976 fps (actually, any fps: it will always do FVR), despite there being 2 different ways you're supposed to be able to.  I asked one of the HandBrake devs about it a while back and he basically said "who cares?  go away now."  So screw him.

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.

I don't know about professional movie-level cameras, but I know when I used to work for a middle-end television studio the cameras record at certain frames per second. Trying to play at another rate can distort the video and is usually accomplished by a software speed up/slow down; very noticable in movies/video that incorporates lots of camera movement (e.g. Transformers)

I'm no good with movie ripping, but my guess is that improper rips that have un-sync'd audio are because of a non-constant frame rate. But I completely made that up.

Because industry standard for film is 24000/1001 frames per second so audio at 48KHz will be synced.  30000/1001 is for Video (both are NTSC) with 60HKz audio.
