Discussion:
Ripping Directly To Other-Than-DVD Format?

I've been using DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter to rip my DVDs to
native .VOB/.BUP/.IFO format.

Recently discovered a problem when my playback application
(SageTV) has to render a ripped DVD across the internet to a
remote media extender.

DVDs work find locally.

.MPG's work fine either locally or across the internet.

If I can't find a workaround for the native DVD files, my plan is
to convert all of my DVDs to .MPG using VideoReDoTvSuite.

.MPG, not because I know anything, but bc it works and it's the
format that recorded TV shows get written in automagically.

I'm open to suggestions vis-a-vis more appropriate formats.

Preserving menu systems is not an issue with me. I tend to re
author just "Main Movie" and, if there are worthwhile extras, to
rip them separately under their own title - the Windows directory
hierarchy/file system becoming my "Menu".


The Question:

Going onwards, is there a utility that will rip new physical DVDs
to .MPG, or do I have to rip to native .VOB... and then convert?

If not, maybe some way to batch-script the process?

Looks promising and I might be a candidate for the paid version,
even....

One question: Ripping to MPEG (or any format that does not
support menus) when you rip a DVD with "Extras" that you want
save, can it create multiple files concurrently?

e.g.

- Amadeus, Main Movie

- Amadeus, Extras #1

- AMadeus, Extras #2....
