Converting DVD to AVI files has several advantages. They are single files that can conveniently store an entire movie in one place on your hard drive that takes up less space than a typical DVD file while still maintaining decent quality picture and sound. They are typically stored using a DivX or Xvid codec by a backup program.
They are the most common file that movies are stored in on computers. So common, in fact, that many DVD players can actually play them now, so you can backup DVDs to your computer, then burn them again to a DVD-Recordable disk and play them on your TV (if you have the right software).
A great software program that can do all this is the Movavi videosuite. It can burn, edit, and copy videos, amongst many other things. It is used by people personally to backup their own DVD collections and also by professionals who edit and publish their own video.
Several simple steps is all it takes to convert your DVD to an Avi file on your computer:
1. Run the Videosuite, click the DVD button and Add DVD. This will allow you to backup everything on the DVD. Choose the correct IFO or VOB files that you wish to copy.
2. Select an audio track for the DVD you want to convert (get the correct language…)
3. Choose the output format for the movie. You will probably want that to be AVI in DivX or Xvid format.
4. Select the place on your hard drive to save the movie after conversion.
5. Click ‘convert’ to start reading from the DVD and saving to your computer.
You can use this method to store many DVDs on one disk if you like. DVDs are converted down to as little as 1/4 or 1/5 their original size but still maintain good quality, so you can reburn 4 or 5 movies to a single DVD-R disc and store more movies on less disks.
Of course, only backup movies that you own the legal right to. Pay for your movies if you want to watch them.
