Obviously a Windows question. I have my preferred ones for Mac OSX because the choice is much more limited. I know which ones work well for me and since I am doing frequent back ups for later viewing, the ones that almost always work I stick with. There's a few back up utilities just in case.
Best share outputs would probably be DivX or H.264 which seems to be a little better than the previous. But not everybody has H.264 codecs yet on their system.

As they say,

"There ain't nuthin' like a convert !"


Now, back to biz...

What about AutoGK ?

Hey, all I want to do is make perfect rips of movies that are standard max of 120 minutes and have it fit on a 700 or 800MB CD ! AC3-2ch too !
No big deal, hmmm ?

Except, that it is...!!!
