As far as I'm aware, even if you own the original copies it is still illegal to copy DVDs on to your hard drive.

However google is your friend .

Go to divx-digest.com, they have a ton of good programs, I think a popular one is DVD2AVI, and get the DIVX codec so you can encode your AVI with DIVX, it's a codec that makes the file small yet still good quality. You have to pay but there's a free version, although it's not as good as the one you pay for, XVID is another codec exactly like DIVX except it's free and open-source and some say is better.

If you want free codecs then go to:
www.free-codecs.com
Loadsa codec packs for almost anything but also try out VLC media player this is what i use it plays almost any kind of video file and audio file without the use of codecs. Get it here:

I have used it, It's easy and fast. It's a good DVD ripping program. :naughty: :naughty: :naughty:

Yep, but DVD Shrink isn't for making AVI files I don't think, I have it, what it does is compresses a DVD into one that can fit on a 4.7GB DVD-R/RW disc, so you can burn a copy, and I've tried it (nothing illegal don't worry) and even the compression was like 70% or something and I didn't notice difference in quality.
