hi guys and girls, i am lookin for a good dvd ripper, what i want to do is to store all my dvd's onto my external hard drive, most prob in avi format ( not to sure about this yet ), then it will allow us to not only free up space in the cupboard but also let anyone watch what they want, any one got some good tips or links to programs ( preff free if possible, there is a credit crunch you know ), thanks all
