So, to add to the confusion, I figured I'd add my list of software:

I use DVD Shrink to rip the movies, then use JoinVob to make it continuous, then use a wondermous program called Super to convert to/from any format. I absolutely love that program!! Email me if you wanna try it out!

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!
