First U Need DVD decrypter And auto gordian knot (autogk).

Step 1: RIP

Put in a DVD and launch DVD Decrypter. Choose IFO (Information File) mode:

Now make sure you’ve selected a destination for your files:

Now you need to find which program chain to rip (PGC). Pick the one that’s the longest, or in the case of a TV dvd, the episode you want to rip:

Everything’s set up. Just click the green arrow and wait about twenty minutes, after which you will have a set of files which look like this:

VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_PGC_07 - Stream Information.txt
VTS_01_PGC_07_1.VOB

The whole ripping process shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes.

Step 2: ENCODE
Launch AutoGK and select the first .vob that you just ripped as an input file, and set an output file name:

Now you need to select audio (choose the first one) and subtitles, if any:

If you’re ripping a TV, set the preferred size to 350MB, if you’re ripping a movie, choose either 700MB or 1400MB, depending on your preference:

Finally, click on advanced settings and choose MP3 VBR 128kbs:

Then click “add job” and “start.” After all this, you’ll have a log that looks like the following:

Nice tutorial Mickey. I've been looking for a good tutorial on ripping to teach my best friend how to do it (I am the world's most impatient tutor - much, much rather hand over a guide and tell her to go to it, than actually walk her through it).

Good tut, although I would recommend either leaving the original audio or a higher bitrate because 128kbit is noticable in comparison to 192kbits+

Personally I would say use 1400MB setting with original audio, this is the best quality to size ratio.
