I've

"DVD rip" and "DVD copy" and

a bit too.
I need and idiots guide to throwing a DVD on my HDD to play. I can copy a DVD no problem onto a CD-R or DVD-R. I have in the past. But I dont understand how to get it on a HDD as a single playable file.
I decode it (to what? using what?)
Then encode it to divX (using what?)
I currently am playing with DVD Sqeeze. I have a DVD down to about
4 gigs. It's still a bunch of VOB files. Now what? Basically (I think) all I did was crop the DVD to it's minimum before decoding.
Everything I've found so far is too complex for my primative brain. Someone enlighten me please
