• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    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.

ffmpegX is probably the fastest. It's a gui to unix tools, of which, ffmpeg is quite fast.

Drop the avi to the left panel. Select DVD on the right panel. Hit Encode. Come back, use the tools to create a DMG from the VIDEO_TS folder. Then burn the DMG with Disk Utility. A 100% free solution.
