need help convert dvd direct to avi

[argoldst]

Is there any good free (if not then I am willing to pay) for good software that converts a movie dvd (store bought like Scarface or etc) directly to a .avi file?

I have tried tons of software like dvd2avi and things like that but 99% of them just crash and do not work.

Basically, what I am looking to do is take a movie off a dvd, convert it to avi so I can put in on my cowon a2 (PMP).

Please help.

The free (light) version of FairUse is severely limited... I'd try and find the older versions if possible.

Fairuse is the best out there no question.
dont use the light version, either pay or find an older version.

auto gordianknot is great, and very easy to use (free). But i recall, you have to rip the dvd to harddrive first using dvd decryptor or dvd fab decrypter. maybe if you use on-the-fly decryption programs like anyDVD (payware) or dvd43 (freeware) you don't have to rip.
