This part is only tricky if you begin to tweak the final results. If your reading this post, it is assumed you have 3-6 GIG .VOB file successfully extracted from your DVD ROM.

2-A Load up Winmenc
2-B This program has MANY configurations and options... But the easiest way to explain how to set it all up would be to simply press "Load Profile" at the bottom.
2-C From your profile section... choose this option: "[PSP AVI] DIVX 480x272 600kbps, MP3 44.1kHz 96kbps.ini" which has almost all the settings we need already. Press "Open" on this setting.
2-D Click on the "Video" tab and change the type from "DivX" to "XviD".

2-D-A This step is optional.. but i just went ahead and saved this as a new profile to simplify life in the future. Back up this .ini file incase someday in the future they ever remove these ini files from the "built in" installation.

You should not have to make any more changes at this point if you had followed all my instructions from step 1. If you violated my "audio" advice, then you will need to click on the "Audio" tab and adjust the "Audio Stream" option. Feel free to tweak further, but i can promise you that the settings as is now will work beautifully!

2-E Click on the "Batch" Tab
2-F Press "Add Files...".
2-G Browse to where you extracted your movie to. It will be one gigantic VOB file. and press "Open". The file should appear in the list after this.

2-H Adjust the output folder at the bottom to another location (different then where the VOB file is) that you can encrypt your new movie file to. You'll only need a location that has 600 Megs at the most... all 1.5 hr movies are usually under 400MB at the end.

2-I Press the "Encode" Button at the bottom and wait patiently. This process will based entirely on your cpu speed. On my AMD 3200, it took 42 min to rip a 1.5 hr movie. So once again.. just be patient.

NOTE: It is not uncommon to see a CRC error during this process.... it won't obstruct the movie in any way or fashion... There is litterally nothing you can do about it except wait for a newer version of dencrypt.exe (WinMenc is merely a front end to this tool). I've seen this error several times through out my learning of how to do this, and it has NEVER obstructed the movie in any way.

ALTERNATIVE SETTINGS:
For a slightly larger XviD file, you can increase the sound/video throughput/quality and match the screenshots i posted below:

When the process is done... you've now successfully backed up your movie to a format that will work on the PSP that is higher compressed and still runs beautifully. I love that XviD compresses the files to such a small size. The more backups i can fit on my memory stick the merrier.
