Converting DVD To DIVX-XVID

[fuzzchopz]

I hope this is the right place to ask this question but which program is best to use to convert my DVD collection to DIVX or XVID.

Any reason why those formats? I understand that space is the normal reason, but when you have a HD TV, reducing the quality tends to make the DVD you are watching very poor in quality.

Most people will rip at full 100% compression (to MKV or ISO) to retain the DVD quality, but have it ripped to the HD. As HD space is so cheap these days, it tends to be a false economy to lose quality for these reasons.

AutoGK is probably the best your get for conversion to Xvid other than doing a full manual job the old fashion way

To save on HD space & the PS3 seems to do a nice job playing back what I have in the format already.

Although I am looking at getting a couple of 1.5tb drives soon.
