Been doing the same thing myself the last few days. Here are some of my thoughts. I really like the interface better on iMedia, but the quality of the output file seems to be drastically less, at least in my few attempts. I also downloaded DVDFab DVD Ripper. So far I like this the best out of all 3. Better user interface than WinX DVD, and the output is on par with WinX DVD. One complaint is that it doesn't allow you to break the output file into sections the same way that iMedia does, it has a Split option, but you can't specify by file size or time slices. That would have been nice.

Last week one of the deals was a software pack worth $200 or so including WinX DVD for only $20. But it turns out I already had a free copy from when they were giving it away earlier in the year one day. With comparable settings I think the Divx I created looked better with WinX. It has a tick box to use a "High Quality Engine" whatever that means. Maybe it does a second pass or something. I don't see any options like that in iMedia, the output was a little pixilated and I didn't get that with WinX.

Started a quick DVD rip to AVI file. Looks very nice right now based on my 5 minutes with it. I've been using WinX DVD Platinum which works, but I'm not crazy about. One feature right off the bat was the ability to set the job to break up by file size or time. Nice feature.
