The files are in the 'VIDEO_TS' folder. Among the options are, leaving the files in DVD format and shrinking those files to fit a standard DVD - and optionally burning the files - using DVD Shrink. You can also convert the files to AVI format using AGK. Run AGK and select the input file from the VIDEO_TS folder. Usually it's 'VTS_01_0.IFO'. Choose a location for the output (create a new folder). Select the audio as required. Choose a custom size for the output - 1500MB would be ample for a two hour movie for playback on the TV - 700MB if you want smaller files with lower quality for the PC. Click 'Add Job' then 'Start'. The conversion is best run overnight as it's quite CPU intensive. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/autogk.cfm
