Convert .DVD to .AVI

Possible with limits

“.DVD” usually stands for the video content of a DVD (a VIDEO_TS folder or a disc image). Converting it to AVI means ripping the disc and re-encoding the video.

How to convert .DVD to .AVI

1. Make sure you may copy the disc. Removing copy protection is restricted or illegal in many countries, including Germany and the USA; your own unprotected recordings are fine.
2. Open the VIDEO_TS folder or disc image in a converter or ripper.
3. Choose the main title and the audio and subtitle tracks you need.
4. Pick the output. AVI works, but MP4 or MKV with H.264 gives better quality at a smaller size.

What to expect

• A full DVD can be 4 to 8 GB; the converted file is usually much smaller and loses menus and extras.
