I'm trying to copy some of my pre-recorded DVDs into AVI format.  But in this site's Downloads section I can't figure out where to download!    There don't appear to be any links for doing that for these files.  (By the way, I don't want to pay for the software.  Freeware is preferred).

DVD Rip files are for DivX, XVid, and S(VCD) copies. From my experience with downloading from torrent file websites (even though torrents aren't used on one of the site I plan to upload to), I know that XVid files are often in AVI format....which again is what I want to use.  Uploading is what I'm trying to learn.

DVD Copy files section I'm not sure about yet.

My computer is Macintosh.  What can you guys recommend?
