  Format Factory lets you rip just the tracks you want from a DVD, so if you just want 6 episodes turned into 'avi's then it can do that, each one ripped into it's own file. You can specify how you want it ripped, so can choose the DVD setting and that's the quality you get. It's pretty versatile and it's free, but it's not perfect. I have used it and always found it easy to use, but some people I know experienced lipsync issues. I think that might have something to do with their rather ancient laptop though.

  i ripped about 200 films and box sets before taking them to the charity shop. DVDFab is excellent. some i ripped as avi and others mkv. it's great to have them on a network drive instead of all those cases on the shelves.

  Thanks i will look into that, does it let you separate all the episodes etc? Im doing it for the same reason as you.

  That's really not true. Takes me about 8-12 minutes for the average feature film on DVD (25-40 minutes per Blu Ray) to rip on an X4 640/4GB RAM set up, would take much longer to download and then you'd have to suffer from whatever compression the uploader used.

  As a lot of the stuff you cant download, or if you can, it will take a age on torrents as not a lot of people will have it.

  most people dont have quad core processors. Takes me about 2 minutes to download 1.5GB AVI film or 10 for a 10GB MKV. Plus you dont have to insert disk, analyse, rip etc etc. Just queue up 200 films and leave your PC on overnight = job done! ;)

  Csiman, that's only good if you can download them in the first place.
  
  Does anyone know the best settings for dvdfab? 450mb for 30 minute shows seem a bit high.
