OGMRip does work great but it takes forever.
I have a Phenom 2 965 @ 3.6 and so far from an iso image to avi has
taken 3.5 hours and is still not completed.
All the work is being done by mencode. Do a "pgrep -fl mencode" while
ogmrip is running to see the large number of options it applies. Many of
these can be tuned (e.g. number of passes in video conversion) and would
make a difference in speed. In fact you could just capture the mencode
command line as a Shell script and play with it that way.
I converted a 4GB VOB set to 1.2GB avi. It did take a while but not as
much as 3.5 hours on my Core 2 Dual @ 3.2 (and I still used 2 passes).
I was reading about handbrake and apparently if I can change the
codec
from ffmpeg to another codec (not sure what one yet) it will handle
avi files as output.
ffmpeg can certainly produce avi, so maybe you don't need to change it.
I did try handbrake a while back but it didn't really do what I wanted
at the time (converting flv to avi).
