DVD Backup software

[Zucarita9000]

It seems everyone is releasing DVD copy software, and I was wondering wich one to get.
What I want to do is copy my DVDs to DivX CDs. I've been reading reviews about DVD Copy Plus, and it seems it only supports VCD (Mpeg) or SVCD (Mpeg-2). I saw that Intervideo has one to, that does support DivX compression.

I'm not planning on playing the movies in standalone players, just in my PC.

What is the diference between SCVD and DivX? Wich one has better quality?

I don't mind if the movie takes up 1.4GB (2 CDs), I just want the best possible video and sound quality. I also need to be able to select wich audio track and subtitle to rip.

DIvx is way, way better then VCD. VCD is for playing in set top boxes.. Very bad.

Check out vcdhelp.com for detailed tutorials...

Yeah, I know that about VCD, but what about SCVD?

 

[IamDavid]

A little better then VCD but not much. Some set top boxes can play them too. Don't bother with them though. Use XVID to encode into divx for the best quality.

Ok, I see. Do you know any good DVD-to-DivX software?
I am reading about this one right now, seems very good.

Thanks for the link, but I'm looking for a easy to use package (one of those 3 steps programs).
