Question about ripping DVD in Ubuntu 22.04

[kalpana]

I know that this isn't really an Ubuntu question, but I'm hoping to get some general advice anyway.


Several years ago I took my home DVD movie collection ripped them into AVI files, and then stored them on USB thumb drives. I did this because it takes up less space in our front room, and it was more convenient to just leave a thumb drive plugged into our TV, so that my wife easily watch her favorite workout videos. I ripped most of my DVDs between 2006 and 2012, and back then I was using a different PC with Windows XP as the primary OS.


Of course flash forward a few years, and now I find that some of the thumb drives I put my movies on are starting to fail.


Fortunately I still have most of my old DVDs in boxes in the back closet, but I cannot seem to find a reliable process to rip them into AVI files under Ubuntu. The closest thing I have had to success thus far, is to use MakeMKV to rip my DVD into an ISO file, and to store that file on my computer's hard drive.


However, I cannot seem to a method for ripping either my original DVDs, or the ISO files I have created, into AVI files which my TV can understand. Also, the interesting thing about this is that I know that I ripped some of these very same DVDs back in the mid 2000s using DVD Decrypter and Auto Gordian Knot (Under Windows XP) but I cannot seem to do very much with them using MakeMKV and OGMRip.


Any info greatly appreciated, below is my system information. Also, in spite of the fact that I've been using Linux for several years, I'm still pretty much a newbie at it.
