You would like to convert a home video DVD to some other video formats? AVS Video Converter enables you to rip home video DVD to DivX, Xvid, AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, RM, and save converted files to your PC.
Click here to download the program. After the download is finished, run the AVSVideoConverter.exe file and follow the installation wizard instructions.
To select a video you would like to convert hit the Browse... button next to the Input File Name field. In the opened Windows Explorer Window browse for the necessary DVD folder:
Note: when your input is a DVD Disc, you will need to select the path to your source file: X:\Video_TS\Video_TS.IFO. "X" stands for your DVD-ROM or the hard disk drive folder where your DVD is stored:
It is usually safe to select the IFO file, rather than VOB file, because the IFO file contains the information about the entire DVD structure and this way you will avoid audio and video de-synch problems when converting. Also, most DVDs have several VOB files (files with actual video) and if you convert VOBs instead of IFO, you will have to merge them afterwards, which is not the case with the IFO files.
After you have selected the VIDEO_TS.IFO file click the Advanced >> button. Normally the program will select the longest DVD title that usually corresponds to the main movie on the disc. You can check that clicking the drop-down arrow near the Video -> Track box:
If you prefer to convert files that are located on your hard disk drive, please make sure that you copy not only VOB files, but IFO files as well.
After you have selected the video input file, click one of the buttons on the main panel. In the list of Profiles (... Profile field) select one of the offered profiles. You can also click Edit Profile button to manually set the profile parameters.
Click the Browse... button next to the Output File Name field and select a location on your HDD for the output video file.
Note: when you select a location for your output video file, you should save the file to your personal computer HDD.After you have set up all the conversion parameters, hit the Convert Now! button to start converting.
You can visually judge the DVD conversion process if you hit the Advanced>> button twice.
