I am completely new at ripping/encoding and I just wanted to ask
about what kind of settings/properties I need to set to convert
a DVD to .avi file.
When I am utilizing software there is a bunch of options which
I cannot understand; and when I google/wiki them by themselves,
I am having a hard time interpreting them in relation to one
another, and in relation to video ripping/encoding.
By settings/properties, I mean,
how do I decide output/input Bitrate, frame rate,
whether I'm going to use MMX, SSE, FPU, etc. to process it,
whether I'm going to use Bilinear, Bicubic, TAP, MMX, SSE, etc.
Deinterlacing, DCT/iDC, multipass (1 pass, 2nd pass, etc.)........
If explaining each of the properties is too much of a hassle,
I do understand. I only ask if you could just state which settings
would give me optimum results (highest quality of video/audio possible)
for my intended goal of converting DVDs (.vob files ~4.7GB) to
.avi file of ~1.5GB size.
BTW, I will be using Divx to encode.
Thank you for your time and help.

I'm completely new myself and would like to know the answers to those questions as well. I'm sure you have a reason for encoding with Divx, but I have used AutoMKV a few times with good results when it worked using the x264 codec. It takes longer to process but it is takes less size for the same quality as the other codecs. I easily converted a full dvd (not sure how big but at least 4.7gb if not more because it was a dual-layer dvd) to 1.5 GB with that program.
It works for Divx as well if I remember correctly, and there are only a few basic settings you have to choose between. That way if you are a novice like me all you must select is container, codec, codec passes, audio and subtitles, resolution, and you choose what file size you want and it encodes it to that size.
However, there are a few extra tabs full of extra options that are described pretty well on the tutorial website in case you want to do that. I still don't know exactly what everything means but at least the tutorial gives some basic descriptions.
Here are some resources I've found very useful for myself and although most are specifically for dealing with H264 codec some aren't and still go over encoding settings for the programs used.

If your goal is an avi of 1.5GB, then the quality will be excellent. In very few words, the smaller the file size you choose, the lower the bitrate will be, which means lower quality. At 1.5 GB the quality will be very good(usually people go around 700mb for a ~90min movie, with decent quality).
You did not mention what converter will you be using? AutoGK is a very good free software.
It should have a setting that will allow you to input the final size of the Avi that you want to create. All other settings you can probably just leave as default. Look for a guide here on Afterdawn.
 Piss me off, and I Will ignore You! |

thanks for the comments :)
I'm using DVDx, a suggestion from a friend of mine,
who also knows nothing about ripping/encoding; yet
he told me the options were straight forward enough
that you can just go through trial and error to find
what suits your needs.
BTW, does anyone know if your graphics processor plays
an important role when encoding/ripping?
Or does your Processor matter more so?
(I'm using onboard video to rip/encode, but I have a mid-high
end graphics card I can install if it would help increase
process speeds/faster rip/encoding or increase quality)
Just incase my computer specification matters,
I have a AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.6 GHz, 4GB of DDR2-800 @ Cl4
780g IGP, Seagate 7200.12 500GB HDD and an external USB DVD combo drive.
