I like how ripdvd works, but how do I get it to rip a DVD as an Mpeg? I want to encode them to see which looks better through my projector.

I use DVDDecrypter. The ripped files are .VOB and works flawless with VDJ, but if you still want a ".MPG" file, just rename the .VOB to .MPG and walla..... same quality as the .VOB, same quailty as the DVD.

I don't think that by changing the file extension will do it. It is still a VOB file. I also think that a video file can be corrupted by doing that too. I not 100% sure. Anyone else with any other thoughts?

I use DVD Decrypter to rip VOB files then I use Sony Vegas to make any edits thats sometimes required. I can shrink to MPEG1 or MPEG2 = VOB. Right now I'm taking pieces of movies and shrinking the parts I need to MPEG1 because there only +/- 30 sec... example is a scene from Happy Feet and Oceans Eleven and the Matrix.
Once this is done I can place them in the clip bank or remix them into music videos.

Does anyone have any suggestions on batch video converters? I am looking to convert VOB to Mpeg2. I can do the Vegas thing but I have like 3,000+ VOB videos and I would like to leave this studio/office at some point of the summer. =)

#1 dvd ripper will do what you want. I will tell you that there is no better video quality then VOB. I am now using DVD Decrypter to rip VOBs. I have been playing videos for about 15 years and I have ripped them in every format known to man. With the price of hard drive space you are not limited to size. My terabite drive has around 15,000 videos on it and I still have 100 GB free. I would use VOB.

I agree with the HDD pricing. I bought a new HDD with 500g space just for videos. I put about 10+ new VOB video a weak and it's going to be a while before I fill it up.... Just get a new HDD plus with the everyone switching to HD tv by next year. Your gonna want a better quality video to show on them.
