DVDDecrypter will do its usual fine job extracting the video files from
the DVD. From there, I have found that the only guarantee you have in
converting to XviD is that you will use up a lot of time. AutoGK
works, but I have yet to figure out how to crop (not resize) the video
files to eliminate the VHS ribbon distortion at the bottom of the
frame, in the overscan area. WinAVI is fast enough, but it seems to
enlarge the picture for me - I must be doing something wrong. When I
see what a good job others do with the XviD files they post at
bittorrent sites, I can only say, more power to them.
