1/23    Recommendation for free software that will take DVD as input and
        generate an mpeg,avi,wmv,etc file from it.  I'm not looking for
        fancy stuff.  I really just want something that is like "ripping
        DVDs for dummies" as I'm not a pc hacker guy.  Is there such a free
        tool?  If not, what for-profit sw is out there to do this.  I need
        something that works, nothing fancy.  Thanks.
        \_ PIRATE!  PIRATE!  Somebody call the MPAA!
        \_ DVD Decrypter will rip it to your HD. DVD Shrink will fit it
           onto one DVD+R. Both are excellent freeware programs.

2/25    Are there any DVD players that will remember the position of the
        last X movies played? I know most remembers the one currently
        being played, but what about previous ones? Thanks.

           all of my DVDs.

9/20    I have a DVD of my friend doing some Karate I'd like to copy for him.
        How can I copy a DVD so I can play it in a regular DVD player?
        Preferably using Linux, but I can use windows if necessary.
        \_ what format is the video file on the original DVD?
           \_ Err.. I guess I don't know.  It plays on a regular DVD player.
