What is the best way to copy DVDs into AVI format?

I want to copy DVDs from the disk onto the computer. I need AVI format to play them, what is the best way to convert them and still get high quality viewing?

Aimersoft DVD Ripper is a powerful DVD ripping program. It can rip DVD to MP4, AVI, WMV, MOV, RM, RMVB, MPG, MPEG, 3GP, 3GPP, MPG, ASF, FLV, VOB, WMA, M4A, MP3, AC3, WAV, and so forth. With it, you can easily rip DVD to iPod Video, Zune, iPhone, Apple TV, PSP, Xbox 360, PS3, Archos, iRiver, Creative Zen, PMP, MP4/MP3 Player, Smart Phone, Pocket PC, PDA, Mobile Phone, etc.
I have used it for a long time, it works great for me,

    you’ll need a bit of encoding skills.
    The way I do it is with freeware called ‘virtualdubmod’ and ‘avisynth’.
    it’s quite simple once you get the hang of it.

    I don’t trust programs that just convert the video with 1-click of a button. Those really don’t give you the quality or size desired.

    Just look around for virtualdubmod and avisynth. There are a lot of tutorials out there for you.

    I use HandBrake - it’s free, simple and lets you encode into a ton of different formats including AVI, DivX, and other Hi-Def formats. You control the quality (higher quality = bigger files, smaller files = lower quality).

    I store all my media - music and movies alike - on external hard drives. HandBrake makes it so I can leave my DVD’s in the cases, but still watch my movies on my computer. I’ve even had my computer hooked to a HDTV and the movies looked awesome!

    Enjoy!

    Oh, PS: if you download and install the free version of the K-Lite Codec Pack, you can play just about every type of media native through any media player on your computer. Then they don’t HAVE to be in AVI format. Cheers!
