If ripping DVDs were as easy as ripping music CDs, there'd be a lot more DVD release groups around....
The fact is, if you want to do a GOOD job, you'll need to put in elbow grease... it takes a lot of work to turn raw DVD into a good quality video that you would want to use in an AMV. And since real encoders (fansubbers and DVD release groups alike) use tools like YATTA and Avisynth, it's probably worth saying upfront that unless you're really interested in learning these, you're better off using already-encoded raw videos than DVDs.
That being said, and you don't feel like heeding my warnings, feel free to read the
. Yes, not all of it applies.... no need to encode the audio, and there's no real interest in bitrate calculation. And furthermore, some of the tools listed are outdated... most folks nowadays probably use DGMpgDec rather than Mpeg2Dec3. But you'll get the idea.
"In the beginning there was darkness and void. And then
The Encoder said 'BlankClip(color=$FFFFFF)' and there was
light. The Encoder looked upon the light and saw that it
was good, for it was RGB32."
(although there has been some debate over the Encoder's
choice of container, since Life doesn't support any form
of rewinding.)
