hello i have about 600 movies on dvd and i was wondering if i could change the format to avi so i could get more than one film onto a dvd so that i do not have 600 dvd`s but half that amount for storage purposes?
thank you.

Sure. Plenty of free tools to do it too. Look ^^^ up there in downloads. Some possibilities: VirtualDub MPEG, AutoGK, Super, etc.

Another free program that I like is Fairuse Wizard. Great quality output, batch conversion, extract subtitles or hardcode them:

you can try some DVD Ripper software, they can convert DVD to other video formats like AVI, DivX, MPEG-4. Xilisoft DVD Ripper Platinum

1:1 copy of any format:~)? If you want a 1:1 copy of an AVI, mpeg, mp4... you just use the copy/paste function in Windows explorer!!!

When you convert to a different format, you don't make a 1:1 copy.

LOL! I undersood what you meant! I was just being naughty pointing out the improper wording(the 1:1 copy, which basically would mean a DVD clone:~)!)
I had FairUse crash when I first tried it. It seems that there was some conflict with some codecs. Can't tell you which one, as I un-installed all of them(had too many codecs trying to do the same job at the same time) and then I re-installed the ones that I needed. I went from a codec pack to Xvid, Divx, RealAltenative and FFDShow, about all that I need.

By all means, if Winavi does the job, there is no reason to change. When it works like it is suppose to be working, it is actually a good program.
