One click DVD to xvid?

I've got a ton of DVDs, and very little time / patience to go about the ripping process. I'd like to set up a media-center PC with the usual features but also with some way to just shove in a DVD, press a button, and go to sleep so that the next morning my DVD is nicely ripped into XIVD and saved onto the HD or a networked fileserver.

Is it possible to get reasonable quality rips from a single-click solution? Also would I have to look at some kind of alternative to Windows MCE? (I'm not sure how much "other software" you can use on MCE).

Only if you buy it I think.

Also, AutoGK might be multithreaded but it uses Virtual Dub Mod to do the encoding, so if thats multithreading then I guess so.
 
XviD is multithreaded, so anything that uses it can take advantage of multithreading.

AviSynth (A component of AutoGK) is not multithreaded. There are unofficial versions that are, but it's a little unstable still.

So, you may not get 100% CPU utilization, but it shouldn't be a big deal with a standard dual core system.... 16 core quad Xeons might not get fully used though 😀

You can get acceptable quality with a good one click app like AutoGK, but IMO it's worth the time to spend an extra ~10 minutes setting things up. You can get transparent results using MeGUI at less than half the size of the original DVD. I usually do 1/2 DVD-R sized rips - ~2200MB. MeGUI can use x264, and allows you to manually tune the AviSynth script to improve compressibility, and has a very advanced profile system that uses XML. It's a fantastic application.

Know it. Read it. Love it.

Is AutoGK still being updated? I see nothing newer than from 2005. No updates or anything and even the beta is from 2005.
