Well, it's doable, but time consuming.

First, RIP the DVD to a folder using DVD backup. This typically takes about
1/2 of the runtime of the movie. (Faster on newer DVD-r drives...)

Then run one of the DVD to DiVX converters on the folder.
Make sure you remove any DVD-ROM content first! (There should only be 2
folders on the DVD - VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS.)


The DVD to DiVX converters are ... (very buggy)
    DivXRay
    forty-two
    etc ...

Ee..

Also, you will need to load a DiVX codec.
