Page 1 of Ripping DVDs to AVI

I have a DLINK media receiver that connects wirelessly to my network and allows me to send music, pics and AVIs to it, and play them back on a TV. However, I can`t work out how to play AVIs on it. Thought it was the codecs at first, but now the AVIs play on the PC, but not through the DLINK receiver.
I want to try and rip some of my own DVDs to see if this is a fault or if the thing is just fussy, but i don`t know how.
Can someone point me in the right direction for software etc.

Cheers

fair use wizard Gets my vote every time. Pretty well foolproof and with good support forum.

I have just been looking at TVersity (tversity.com), which is a UPnP AV server, from looking in the forums it seems that it is probably a better alternative to the server software supplied by Dlink. You may want to try it. I am about to try it feeding XBMC on the original Xbox.

Fair wizard is the only thing I use after some-one round here ages ago asked same question. I had never tried to divx or xvid a dvd before, gave it a go, and it`s worked fine every time. v idiot proof, and does the job :)

Seems unanimous - I`ll download it and give it a go. Cheers for the AV software heads up as well :)

i "obtained" fair use and it keeps coming up in my avg scans. a potential prob methinks??

Me too, I got it but I didn`t install yet - it came up in an AVG scan today. Is it really a problem or is it AVG being over-zealous?
