What I used was Smartripper to get the VOB files off of the DVD. Then, I
used DVD2AVI to make the audio and avi files. Then I used Nandub to put the
audio and video files together.
I had some issues getting the audio too, until I figured out that the
program I was using (DVD2AVI) was just making two seperate files. Nandub
interleaves the audio into the avi file.
The MPlayer option for Linux that Codie mentioned:
| Actually, MPlayer includes mencoder which can make DiVX movies very
| fast. I can get a three pass (audio, video pass-1, video pass-2) DiVX 4
| movies done in about 4.5 hours without copying from the DVD. It builds
| the movies directly from the DVD in the player.
| You can make movies in any format mplayer can view. Works good on
| Windows Media Player too although it doesn't like Variable BitRate files
| too much...

Looks like it would be the best option for both of us. I'm going to have to
try that the next time I get a little time to play.
