First, greetings to everyone on this board. I recently purchased my first Axim (A 51V) and googled for some software...and here I landed.

What a great site! Packed with tons of great information and experienced Axim users. Really glad I stumbled here!

Anyways, to the content of my post. I figured I would attempt to make my first post somewhat of a contribution instead of the usual questions. I had read some of the tuts stickied above about ripping...but since I had experience burning normal DVDs, etc I I decided to give the following a try...and it worked. So here goes:

I only use two programs to rip the DVD to my Axim. AnyDVD and FairUse 2. Both are free....and both could be ran by a monkey and a mouse.

Download (Or purchase the new release) AnyDVD. Some of the older versions are free to download...and work fine. For example I'm using 5.4.1.1...which is dated but still works great.

Download FairUse2.

Put the DVD in your drive....the small Fox icon on your desktop will flash. You may click on the Fox if wanting to view details...but it's not necessary. The minute you put your DVD in it removes copyright protection.

Start FairUse 2. Follow instructions and simply select your DVD drive as the files you want to rip.

That's it. So in summary this is how easy the DVD rip is.

Put DVD in drive.
Run FairUse 2.
Walk away.

Don't know if this helps anyone...but it's a bit easier then decoding to your harddrive...ripping the image...THEN changing that image to AVI. Hope it helps and thanks for this great site!
