How can i convert a dvd folder to avi? Something where it wont take an entire day to convert the vid.
AutoGK is a pretty straight forward program: Download: http://www.autogk.me.uk/index.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=1 Guide: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/dvd_to_avi_autogk.cfm Xvid4PSP is my personal Favorite: Download: http://www.winnydows.com/news.php Alot of people also like FairUse Wizard: Download: http://www.fairusewizard.com/lang_en/fairuse_wizard_dvd_divx_xvid_backup_tool_light_edition.html Guide: http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/160/59/ As for speed, that is going to depend all on your settings for each program as well as computer specs. None of these programs should take all day, with my computer (specs below), I can usually convert in about 2-3 hours (and my computer is not very fast). I personally like Xvid4PSP because of the range of options you have. You have many codecs as well as containers to choose from, and a range of filters that can be applied. If you are new to this, I would stick with Fairuse Wizard. Pretty straight forward, takes care of most of the options for you, and results are great.
I use dvdflick, also free, and a no brainer. Takes about 40 min. to do a normal movie. It comes with imgburn in it to burn with if you want. Or burn with your burning software, or put on hard drive. Sorry miss read went the wrong way ( avi to dvd) disreguard this post. Sorry!!!! I use dvdfab platium to do what you want, but its not free.
