O/T: Ripping DVDs to DIVx/AVI etc.

[The Great Fandango]

Just bought myself a nice new DVD recorder today to match the HDMI TV mounted on the wall.

It has a tonne of features including streaming over network cable.

I don't think I'll ever use 90% of what it can do but one thing that was interesting was it's ability to play DIVx, AVI, Mpeg etc. from either disc or USB memory devide plugged into the front.

Just curious if anyone (heaven forbid) has first hand experience of using any software to 'rip' a DVD into a playable format? (purely experimental of course).

So what program can I use to do this and is it free?

Cheers

I've found AutoGK very handy for this.
