This long one-liner will rip a DVD in very good quality to an AVI file.

Run it again like this to get a second pass, this might help improve quality even further. Run it another 2 times and this could help a bit when you wish to get the best quality video from the DVD rip.

The screenshot below shows the video quality that this will give you. This is outstanding.
I have tried other video ripping applications, but a few are outdated and this bare-bones one-liner does the job just fine.
What DVD edition is this screenshot ???
The Ultimate Edition I think.
