Hi folks, not sure if this is the place for this. I was wondering if there is a way of saving my dvd's as AVI's on my HD?
I am keen to watch movies when I am travelling etc but don't fancy carting a dvd player and discs around, if I could put some of my movies etc on an external HD it would be so much easier when cycle touring. I have thought about download purchases but I have no broadband at home and the work connection is sooooo slooooow....
Thanks in anticipation.

Re: dvd-avi conversion.
You can use AcidRip which is simple and practical or DVDrip or HandBrake for example. There is also K9, but it's a KDE app so there are some KDE dependencies... It's up to you, you are the choice!

You can use FFmpeg from the command line or its front-end: WinFF. It works quite well.Multicore wrote:Any suggestions for saving and converting YouTube videos to AVI?

Re: dvd-avi conversion.
If you want to use something similar to converXtodvd try DeVeDe for linux. Lemonrip is great for ripping from dvd to avi. I don't think that it is in the repository but you can google it and download and install the Deb package.
