DVD ripping was extremely quick for me too... Have you tried using Auto Gordian Knot with DVDDecrypter, I tell you AGK was just beautiful. I'm hopeless with encoding but it's meant specifically for ripping DVD movies into smaller XviD files, you can have it adjust the output size so you can fit them onto 1 CD, or 2, or on DVDs... You just select a few options and it all makes sense. (Or if you just want video to work with, ripping the .vobs = MPEG2 information, but very large, takes seconds as that's what the DVD literally is)
The limitation is that AGK afaik works only for DivX/XviD and you obviously won't have as much control over options that - who knows - may become a problem later in editing... I still haven't gone wasted a few afternoons with Gordian Knot and MeGUI and all those confusing things to get DVD -> good looking, small h264 mp4s so I could upload some of these live videos up on niconico.
And TokiKake, as I might have said a ton of times, is on the level of awesome where I have no qualms recommending it to people who have never watched anime/animation and may even feel vaguely skeptical about it.
Hmmm I am ripping them into AVI files I wonder if that has something to do with it...argh this video stuff confuses me. But I do want them to be good quality so I can use them to make AMVs but I will have to read about all this stuff tomorrow. Thanks for your help. :)

I am definitely forcing some of my friends to watch it once I get the DVD.
