I have three simple criteria for my movie conversion:

The audio/video absolutely remain in perfect sync
The picture must be smooth rather than jumpy
There must be a subtitle option

After trying several video conversion tools (including Doctor DivX), 123 DVD Converter is the only one tested that could meet my criteria. Below are the steps I went thru to create an AVI file from a DVD.

Step 1:

Obtain and install 123 DVD Converter.
