DVDx allows you to convert DVD to VCD2.0 , SCVD1.0 or AVI (DivX...) in one step (Including multiplexing, splitting). It produces good quality movies in AVI , MPEG1/2 format and you don't need to have 5GB or more free on your hard disk. DVDx has been designed especialy for inexperienced users, it is a simple and intuitive program.
DVDx is capable of reading and decrypting on-the-fly from a DVD-ROM drive, so there is no need to rip the DVD first. That saves alot of HDD space in the process. The software is very light weight and setting it up for ripping is a breeze. DVDx has built-in MPEG encoding routines, but it can also be used with an Adobe Premiere plug-in (LSX, Panasonic or CinemaCraft) or TMPGEnc. Using TMPGEnc requires the VideoServer AVI-wrapper.
