OK, so I can rip DVD's to my HDD using DVDShrink, compress em so I can burn to a DVD-R, but how do I rip them to an AVi or MPEG? For example, I downloaded a copy of The Butterfly Effect as an AVI and it was the whole film, from opening credits to end of the closing credits, as one "track" that I can watch on my PC.

Any idea's how I do this?

I have WinAVI converter thingy but it won't seem to let me convert DVD type files into AVI's (even tho I can do it the other way around - AVI to DVD)
