[quote name='darthbudge']Ok, I REALLY REALLY need some help here. I am trying to convert this DVD I have to an .avi file and then cut a clip out of it, so my dad can use it for his work.
However, nothing I seem to do works right. DivX Converter gets hung up by the menu on it... DVDFab5 immediately cancels the operation and never does anything. AoA DVD ripper acts like it is working, but then in the output file all there is a 0 byte file with the name I chose for the clip.
I promised my dad I would have it ready in time for one of his trainings, and it is less then a week now, and I have no clue what to do.[/QUOTE]
Auto Gordian Knot, aka AutoGK.
Or, if you're a bad ass, do it via command line with Gordian Knot (GK).
Make sure you've stripped the encryption.
