Best software for ripping DVD's to AVI format with full Dolby 5.1

Again thanks.

Am still uncomfortable somewhat with the price of AnyDVD, as well as the multiple steps required to rip.

A quick Googling returned many other products which rip straight to MKV, here’s 2:

Shine DVD

WinMKV

I will try AnyDVD as well as others listed above and post my general experiences…

Ultimately my real needs are:

  • Time! Needs to work fast.  I cannot mess around with multiple steps (2 youngin’s at home)

  • No desire to tinker.  Some things I want to play, tinker, and learn - this I do not.

  • Small-ish size.  anything under 2 gig average per movie is good.

  • Must have Dolby 5.1 sound

  • Lack of DVD menus no big deal

  • And most importantly - IT must work 99% of the time or better. (Not sometimes Dolby, sometimes not…)

  • B
