I've also got the promotional DVD Rolling Deeper that's not coming out, does anyone know if it's possible to upload DVD's, it's about 30 mins long?!
DVD Ripping made easy:
First, get
DVD Decrypter. Install, and then rip the DVD files to your hard drive.
Then, get
Auto Gordian Knot which is a program that automates all the various processes needed to take the raw dvd files and turn them into an avi. AutoGK has a very good tutorial file that can guide you through the process. You can choose the size of the finished avi file through AutoGK, and so really the question is what level of quality you want. When I rip stuff myself I generally figure that about an hour and a half dvd should be between 700 and 800 megs, as that is a reasonable size (I got a lot of hard drive space) and the quality remains very good.
The thing is, uploading a couple hundred megs as a file (1) takes a while, and (2) would cause havoc with your bandwidth, so you'd probably want to compress it quite heavily. The main problem with that is that the quality would be shit, so a better solution would be to set it up as a bit torrent file. I don't know if you know about Bit Torrent, but it's easily the best way to distribute large files. I can explain it if you like?
