Re: DVD Ripping

["Jon Bhargava" <jonathan.bhargava@xxxxxxx>]

Hi All

Just been following Pedro's instructions on how to rip DVDs & it all
went
fine apart from one thing - only the 1st .vob seems to have been converted
to an .avi by flaskmpeg.

I couldn't find an option to do the whole shabang in one!!
Guess I'm missing something pretty obvious:)

Please help

Cheers

Jon Bhargava
