I'm planning on building a dedicated HTPC within a few months to use when I finally purchase a projector. What I'd like to do is backup my dvds to a hardrive to use in the HTPC.
I'm wondering if there is any way to back up a dvd to divx. I'm not talking about just the movie, I mean the whole thing menues, extras, etc... Also will divx look ok on an 108" screen?
I have used divx in the past, but I don't know if there is any way to backup an entire dvd in divx format. I only have done the movie. I also know how to decrease the size of a dvd by about 50% by ripping out extra languages and re-encoding the video. Since I would like to store all of my dvds on 1 or 2 120 gig hardrives I don't want to use 4.38 gigs of hard drive space per movie.
Thanks for any help you can offer!!
