We get the same questions over and over again asking us to explain what DVD2AVI is telling you, and what you should do with that information. This is difficult stuff. It is also very important stuff. Your encode can be turn out well, or it can be ruined by what you decide to do in the very early stages of creating .d2v projects and .avs scripts.

The real heart of this tutorial has been already supplied by hakko504. After it was written and became a Sticky in the DVD2AVI Forum, many people, still unclear about things, added questions which were graciously answered by hakko504. But in the process, the Sticky became muddled and difficult to wade through.
