Well FairUse Wizard 2 does everything I just mentioned actually. I'm surprised no one knew that or that it wasn't listed in your software. It decrypts, rips, encodes and supports DivX encoding, but I've yet to find the resolutions I want in the software. I want 720 x 480 up to 1900 x 1220 (if possible). And no sign of even 720 x 480 in FUW2, at least that I've yet seen.

What I want to do is from my original DVD's, decrypt, rip and DivX encode to output higher resolution files. This 480, 432 by "whatever" stuff is rubbish. I need 720 x 480 and better.

As for research I've been reading all over the place on several boards, on the web etc. I've been Googling different quoted variants of "encoding" "ripping" "DVD" "HD" "DivX" for the past 2 days. One search method I use is quoting "is better than DVDFab" or "better than #1 DVD Ripper" etc just to find comments by people who may be using some good software. Anyways, my searches have yeilded scanty results at best.
