Also I have about 20 dvd's which are quite old and I want to back them up on my HD.
Can anyone tell me how I can convert my dvd's into a single file with the size between 550 and 1 gb(Can't afford a lot of disk space).
What format would be the best avi or some sort of mpeg....
Thanks.

If you need the files that small I think Divx would be the way to go. Haven't used any of the encoders so I can't recommend one.

Mpeg2 would be the best. If you go with another format, you will lose quality....and forget AVI... an AVI save would be about 2 or 3 times the size of the DVD.
