RatDVD?

Yes another codec would be great, because it is senseless to code another new codec. x264 or xvid would be my wish, but I don't think that the coder of RatDVD will change the codec, maybe it is not possible to integrate or very critical. The greatest future would be a codec form like in Virtual Dub where you can choose codec settings and codec (video and audio, too).

xvid is a lot faster even with best settings on my setup, and quality is NOT comparable.
An h264/(he-)aac version of this tool would be awesome thow (and I wont complaint about slowness if I get a 1/2 DVD-r rip@full dvd res+sar with the same quality I get with x264 3 passes :) )
Menus don't work with MPC thow...

I've had a lot of problems using DVD2SVCD with some dvd's due to i/o error 103, but I tried RatDVD and it ripped the whole dvd to my HD. The only problem however is that the whole DVD stutters and I am unsure of how to correct that or settings. Secondly, I want to be able to edit what is ripped to the HD, how can I do this?

People keep posting about how it is a "zip" file when a DVD is ratted, but I tried to unzip the file and nothing. Perhaps I am doing something wrong. I know this is quite a new program and probably still not a ton of solutions out there, but I am just glad that a program could actually read my dvd.
