Need Simple Free DVD to DivX Program

[tm_cw33]

I'm looking for a free program that I can use to create a DivX file from a DVD. I used to have a program about 3yrs ago, but I can't remember the name and google searches have not produced any helpful results. Please help! I just want to be able to have my DVD's on my laptop for when I travel.

Thanks

One set of procedures (Other posters may recommend other procedures) is as follows:

1) Rip DVD with DVDDecrypter

2) Convert to .AVI using Flask or MPEGMediator
A) Using DivX v.3.11 codec (Fast Motion 910kbps, keyframe every 10 seconds) or other DivX codec, or Xvid codec, or 3IVX codec
B) Using PCM (uncompressed) audio at 48,000Hz (Maintains synchronization of audio and video)

3) Load .AVI into VirtualDub
A) Set "Video" to "Direct Stream Copying"
B) Set "Audio" to "Full Processing Mode"
C) Under "Audio", click on "Conversion", select "44,100Hz" (or 48,000Hz, if this doesn't present a playback problem for you)
D) Under "Audio", click on "Compression" select "MP3", "44,100Hz" (or 48,000Hz), "96Kbps" (or higher)
E) Save revised .AVI with new filename

In addition to the above way you can try Fairuse or Simpledivx. These are basically one click programs, easy to use.
