ratDVD: Compress Your DVDs
June 2nd, 2005ratDVD takes a full featured DVD movie and puts it into a highly compressed .ratDVD container format file – while preserving all the features of the original DVD.
“Students from the university of Aarhus, Danmark and St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University “LETI”, Russia yesterday released a new Compression format specifically geared towards the compression of complete DVDs without loss of any features or noticeable quality called ratDVD.”
“After a DVD is compressed to one much smaller file, it can be played back on your PC like you would play a normal DVD or you can convert it back to DVD to burn to disc and watch it with a stand-alone DVD player. Currently it requires users to have Microsoft Windows XP, DirectX 9.0, and Windows Media Player 10″ reports Afterdawn

I like this software. It seem to work pretty well. You loose a bit in quality from a DVD but it is just as good as DIVX. I found it at http://ratdvd.ca take a peak and try it out. Let it run while you sleep, it takes a while to convert.
