DVD Ripper / Vob to Divx AVI converter ?

[KoMoDo]

hey guys,

IM NOT TALKING ABOUT LEGAL STUFF so dont worry :-P
my sister got married and the camera men made a DVD of the wedding, shes in NY right now and im in israel, i was wondering how i can convert the 3 VOB files i got (and a IFO file) to divx AVI at around 700mb and stay good quality. its overall 3gb right now, which isnt that high compared to the 4.7 gb dvd's ppl get.
i already ripped it with DVD Decrypter, now i just need a converter (definetely prefer freeware :-P) that can do it with no ads on the video, etc...

tell me if you need any more info PLEASE!
10x alot,

while we're at it,
does anyone know a program that burns the VOB files ? and i can adjust if i want it as NTSC/PAL and more options ?
cause we wanna send my sis in NY a NTSC dvd, but this one's PAL.
VOB files still on HD.

10x,

Nero 6 Ultra edition has a utility to burn VOBs. Also, DVDshrink can port out to an ISO file, so if you can burn ISOs, you can burn the VOBs.

Anybody else have other programs?

I use DVDStyler, it doesn't do quite this, but it is similar. It takes AVI files and makes them into either NTSC or PAL isos, that you can burn with Nero, or another program, onto a DVD. It can also make menus and chapters and stuff, whats more, it's free. But for that I think you need the files as MPG's, not VOB's.
