Have you been hunting around for a great all-in-one solution for converting your DVD movies into a format that can be used on other devices? FairUse Wizard 2.9 must be your goal.
Installation and Configuration
Download and install FairUse Wizard. (Download link below). Once the install is complete, open FairUse Wizard by going to Start > All Programs > FairUse Wizard 2 > FairUse Wizard 2.
FairUse Wizard will open on the new project screen.
Select "Create a new project" and type a project name into the text box. This will be used as the file output name. Ex: A project name of Simpsons Movie will give you an output file of Simpsons Movie.avi.
Next, browse for a destination folder for the output file and temp files. Note that you will need a minimum of 6 GB of free disk space for the conversion process. Note: Much of that 6 GB will be used for temporary files that we will delete after the conversion process.
Click on the Options button at the bottom.
Under Preferences, choose your preferred video codec and file output size. XviD and x264 are installed by default. If you prefer to use DivX, you will have to install it separately. Also note the "Two pass" option. Checking the "Two pass" box will encode your video twice for higher quality, but will take more time. Un-checking the box will speed up the conversion process.
Under Audio track, note that English subtitles are enabled by default, so to remove the subtitles, you will need to change the dropdown list so it shows only a dash (-). You can also select "Use TV Mode" if your primary playback will be on a 4:3 TV screen.
Click "Next."
