I rip all my movies to hard drive also. DVDFab Platinum has encoded to Divx
every DVD I have thrown at it.
Even those with CSS so harsh they crash other ripping programs. No divx menu
creation tool tho.

Well with tmpgnec dvd author, (CSS allowing) the program will rip all your
chapters from the DVD and let you choose which you want to convert to Divx.
It will then auto create a menu based on templates using those chapters. It
doesn't afaik, use the original menu from the DVD.
I guess you could include the menu vob in your conversion and possibly use
it as a background for your new menu, but I don't want to mislead anyone
into thinking that it rips the DVD and menu exactly as seen to a divx file.
I think there is a 30 day trial on theprogram.
