Dear Andrew,

Do you want to extract the DVD and convert it to divx file(s) or write divx to a playable DVD?

Ok. I'll tell you how i do it.

(1) First you have to remove the decryption with a ripper like MTR or 0Sex. Sometimes you can get away without this step, but its always a good idea.

(2) Download a program called DVDibbler. I think its free (if not, easily acquired serial). Use that to convert the extracted VOB files into a divx file. It's really nice for subtitle extraction, etc. Oh, I think you'll also need a supporting program called Mplayer. I remember that this was kinda tricky to install, but just give it an afternoon.

(3) If you're planning on putting this on a cd, you'll probably need a program called Xplicit. If the file is above 700mb, partition the divx file into two parts and save to two disks. Otherwise, you're done.

Hope this helps.

I have os 10.3.7 and never had any major issues. Occasionally, I've had conversion problems, but i'm pretty certain that it's a media issue and not the software.

Since I burn everything to DVD now, I haven't used this procedure in a while. So you may want to check the website/dvdibbler forums for specific compatibility issues. Also, there may be a better, more recent program out there. Just google around for a bit.

Good luck,

Ross
