I want to convert a DVD to a video clip and store in harddisk so that the video can be accessed more conveniently. I go to del.icio.us to search suitable tools and materials. Thanks to del.icio.us, I can quickly find the right tools and finish the task within a few hours. In the old days without the mechanism of social filtering and bookmarking, it might take me much more time to finish the same task. Well, here is what I get to complete the task.
Ripping a DVD to xvid or divx avi is really quite easy, if you have the right tools. You’ll first need to download DVD Decrypter and Auto Gordian Knot (AutoGK). DVD decrypter allows you to rip the raw DVD video and audio data off of your disk drive, decrypt the CSS protection, and finally remove any other protection schemes, such as Macrovision. AutoGK is a package of codecs and a GUI interface that will take the raw DVD data through an AV processing pipeline to produce a single windows video file.
AutoGK can also be used to convert various other formats of video, such as MPEG1 and AVI sources, into your favourite MPEG4 format.
