How to Convert Blu-ray to AVI File Using DVDFab Blu-ray Ripper

"A few years ago, I digitized my entire Blu-ray collection so I could watch movies on an old DivX-certified TV in my parents' basement. That’s when I realized MP4 or MKV weren't always the best choice."

Many guides today recommend MP4 or MKV, and for most modern devices tha's true. But there are still situations where AVI is the smarter option:

• Some older TVs, DVD players, or in-car entertainment systems only support AVI files with DivX/Xvid codecs.
• When paired with the right settings, AVI with Xvid can offer decent quality for 1080p movies while saving space.
• If you don't need multiple audio tracks or fancy subtitle options, AVI provides a lightweight container.

Now that you know when to choose AVI, you'll want a reliable way to make the conversion efficiently. That's where DVDFab Blu-ray Ripper comes in. It is a powerful yet user-friendly tool that lets you convert any encrypted Blu-ray to AVI format witout quality loss.

Below, you'll find a step-by-step guide on how to convert Blu-ray to AVI using DVDFab Blu-ray Ripper.

Step 1: Launch DVDFab to Load Your Blu-ray Sources

Open DVDFab 13 and switch to the Ripper module. You can insert a Blu-ray disc into your drive, or directly import an ISO or a Blu-ray folder from your computer.

Step 2: Select the AVI Profile

In the top-left corner of the main interface, click the "Choose Other Profile" (profile library) and navigate to: Format > Video > AVI.

Step 3: Customize Your Video and Advanced Settings

DVDFab will automatically select the longest title (main movie) by default, but you can manually pick other titles or specific chapters. At this stage, you may also select your preferred audio tracks and subtitle options.

Next, click the wrench icon (Advanced Settings) to fine-tune video parameters such as Codec, Frame Rate, Bit Rate, Resolution, and audio settings.

In addition, DVDFab offers a built-in video editor that allows you to personalize your movie: you can trim or crop unwanted segments, adjust contrast, rotate the video, add external subtitles, and more.

Step 4: Start to Convert Blu-ray to AVI

At the bottom of the main interface, click the "folder" icon to select a destination folder where your converted AVI file will be saved.

Finally, click the Start button to begin ripping. You can enable hardware acceleration (if supported by your GPU) for faster speed. DVDFab will display the progress bar and estimated remaining time.
