For some reason dvdrip produces sub-10kb avi files and I don't know
why. My first try at this it ran all night and was still running
in the morning producing about 9 sub-10kb avi files, it shouldn't
have to run all night to do one CD? I'm using xvid not divx. I've
tried tweaking the settings but still get really small avi files.

If it matters I'm running a 2.6 kernel with udev and autofs


Thanks,

Are they playable? What do you see when you play them?

That depends on your hardware....

Have you looked at the log? What is in there?

What is the output of 'file *.avi'? That'll tell you if they really are
avis, or just named like that.

It wouldn't amaze me if it were sitting a whole night converting a DVD
to XVid or something. It's a tough process.

Neither do I... Have you tried different DVDs?

Problem solved, sort of...

The "DVD" I was trying to rip was a collection of VOB files
someone already ripped off a DVD, I thought they were ok since I could
watch them in Mplayer. I finally tried a DVD of my own and it works
perfectly but even so why couldn't I get the other one to work? Does
fragmented video and a green tint mean it's encrypted?

Apparently, they weren't. Just had the *.avi extension

Yep, with the second pass enabled it took about 6-8 hours.
