I forgot you must use DGMPGDec to the vob before you can encode it to avi ... my bad ...

I hadn't realized they came out with a version 6 of DVD MovieFactory:

You can get the 30 day trial thing.

I swear - it is a pretty fantastic app and worth a shot.

Sometimes if it cannot import a ripped DVD (say from DVDFab Decrypter) I will process the ripped files with DVD Shrink, save those to the hard drive in another folder, then open them up in Ulead DVD MovieFactory 5.

I can do EXPORT SELECTED CLIPS to the format I want.

I bought just the standard version for $50 - didn't want all the extra stuff that the PLUS version has, since I already have Nero and didn't want to dupe functions.

Works only when copy protection is removed so you must get the DVD decrypted. I use this way since I can go from ordinal mpeg-2 to avi in my way and select the codecs needed and setup them as I like.

Try out AutoMKV (AutoMKV 0.92a - (DVD/TS/AVI/AVS to X264/XviD/WVC1 into MKV/MP4/WMV) update 27/11/2007 - Doom9's Forum)

It's free, actively-developed, and supports a massive array of formats. I used to use AutoGK and VDub all the time, but this is all I use now because the quality is so good (it also supports x264 compression) and it's so easy.
