PS: i want it for computer viewing only.....but not want it to take much space (probably wanna fit it off in a disc)

here goes............

if u want 1 movie per CD........this is the way to do it...

1. Download K-Lite Codec Pack from www.free-codecs.com

2. Download #1DVD Ripper from http://www.dvdtox.com/

3. Install Both

4. In The K-Lite Codec Pack Tools u will c Nic's Bitrate calculator

5. Enter The lenght of the movie, the audio bitrate usually 128kbps...n the final desired size..ie 700MB

6. This will give u a bitrate for say 700kbps........but use 680kbps for VP62

7. Run #1DVD Ripper

8. Select the DVD ROM drive.....it will show u all the movies present on the DVD

9. You will have to rip each movie separately(even though batch mode is allowed as all will b different in length)

10. in properties....select output as orignal DVD res or something lower as otherwise ur per pixel quality reduces....

11. Enable Dolby Surround...select approprite frme rate, depending on PAL/NTSC DVD
