    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I recently used the mac the ripper program to rip a dvd to my hard drive. Then I used xray to convert that to avi. The problem I have is that the video looks great but the sound it not synced with the video. Any recommendations?

thats a problem with avi as a format, you need to convert it to something else, iee; a .mov using divx doctor 2. or after ripping the dvd, why did you wannna convert to avi? theres an app called forty two dvd vx plus that will do it well. but your above problem is with the crap format that avi is.

Well, I found a good encoder, but a new problem has arisen. I cant figure out how to join .vob files in order to use them with ffmpegx. Id rather join them first then later. What part of SA are you in macman? Im in Northside off Blanco rd. & 1604 Todd

I'm currently living on the south side of san antonio, I was living off of 410 and babcock before where I live now.
as far as joining the .vob files, I think discreet cleaner will do it. why do you need to join them? there are usually several anyway, chapters, titles, etc.
