Handbrake.

Rip using DVDFab HD Decrypter or DVDDecrypter (can use IFO Mode if you like with AutoGK) and then encode with AutoGK or HandBrake

I thought handbrake only done mp4 and mkv?
DVDFab and Autogk is what I use.

I now put all my DVD's on to SD card , use those SD/USB media players now , less fuss and the quality's still good enough . I rip the disks with Fab or sometimes Shrink , but I find Xillisoft is ace at converting the vobs to xvid/divx . Some programs I've tried had the audio/video out of sync.

ConverXtoDVD does this too though I now tend to prefer Flick which is free

Have you tried getting it repaired? I have badly scratched xbox games with really heavy scratching. It took a few go's on the cd repair machines at a local games store but it worked and was only a few quid.

Sorry, i know its not what you asked but it might help you.

...I use DVD-WMV as opposed to creating avi files.
