Convert Many DVDs to AVI easily

Site update - March 16th 2010

AfterDawn.com has been updated! In addition to renewing the layout of the site we have also speeded up things considerably. The new version has been tested on our Finnish site for several months, and during the testing we have managed to improve the new version even further.

You can now enjoy this new layout at English AfterDawn.com and English Discussion Forums as well! We have also introduced new sections to the site, and re-arranged things a bit.

I have an old local TV show that I just got from someone on eBay. They gave me 70 DVDs, each containing one show. I was trying to find an easy way to convert them all to AVI's at once.

I have copied the DVDs to their own folders on my HDD. Now I just need a program that will change them to AVIs. Even if it makes one huge AVi with the shows, that is ok too.

Any Thoughts?

You can use a program such as autogk or handbrake, among others to convert the dvd files to avi's. But do remember, it will take quite a while to convert each dvd file to avi.

This does the trick. The only problem I had was I had to specify the settings every time I added a new folder to the queue.

I can only suggest that whatever program you use allows you to choose a final file size so you can better fit finished files on DVDs. Not all do... and I believe Auto Gordian Knot does not. There's always Dr Divx... which is free (though the better DIVX codec is not. I think it's about $20.) and TMPGEnc which is around $100. Both batch and permit the choice of file sizes. Both also permit 2 passes for better compression... not all do.
