DVD to MPG/AVI


I want to copy/transcode a DVD chapter to something I can play on Windows computers. I've tried various methods using mplayer, ffmpeg, acidrip, etc. and all produce files that play fine under mplayer but choke WinAmp, RealPlayer, and Windows Media Player, and Video Lan Client.

Under Windows, none of these players shows video. (VLC shows garbage, but that doesn't really count.)

As an example, here is one thing I tried thanks to the Gentoo Wiki:
mencoder dvd://# -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=1 -alang en -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3 -o /dev/null
mencoder dvd://# -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=2 -alang en -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3 -o movie.avi


Any suggestions?

For the record, the DVD is a sample commercial produced specifically for and donated to our non-profit organization, and we are OK to copy it.

I figured it out. It works in WMP and WinAmp when I use the VOB and ffmpeg with VCD format.
