hey guys, im tryin to put a bunch of my dvd's onto my hard drive so i can watch them next year at university. im havin lots of trouble though. i've tried a couple dvd to avi programs but i have not found a good one... most seperate the file into two or three parts or screw up the size completely. wondering if anyone has a good program for this (please say if it's a free one or one you have to pay for).
+++karma for help! thanks

I use dvd shrink 3.2 and it works quite swell.  It's also free.

yes with autoGK it will automatically do that
there may be the black bars on top and bottom of the picture (depending on dvd)  but will look fine

same thing you just need to find a converter on google which should be easily to find and convert the avi file to MP4 (mpeg 4)
