I'm currently going through my DVD collection, and digitising it, to allow me to watch it on a media streamer (I'm NOT a filesharer!!)

I want to know what software i should use, to convert my DVD's to AVI divx format.

I currently use Xilisoft DVD ripper, however this creates a "letterbox" at the top and bottom of the file - and there doesn't seem to be a way to turn this off.

I'm a novice at video encoding, so would need something fairly simple / well documented.

To your original question, as you already have a copy of Xillisoft I am trying to do a solution without requiring anything extra

Look on the right settings column. There is a option saying something like target aspect ratio. If you do match original, it will create the file to whatever your source is.

decrypting with RipIt4me or DVDFab HD Decrypter

and encoding with MeGUI

Not the easiest one but easy enough and powerful.
