How To Share Your DVD's Step By Step

Lets share your DVD collection! This is not for a DVD quality backup this is for optimal sharing sizes (700MB) good quality, good sound..

Items needed

Fairuse Wizard LE (free download) http://www.fairusewizard.com/Release/FU-setup_LE.exe

Some sort of movie splitter, I personally use Boilsofts AVI MPEG AF WMV Splitter, but have heard of better ones.
A DVD drive
A DVD collection OR RRR (Rent Rip Return)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I: Put your DVD in your drive.
a. Do not play the movie, if autorun kicks in, stop it.
II: Open up FUW (Fairuse Wizard)
a: You want "Create a new project"
b: Name it whatever you like.
III: Click "Options" on the bottom right of the screen
a: Choose your preference, I use XviD
b: Do NOT use full auto mode
c: If everything is okay click next in the options menu
IV: Now you should be back on the main screen, make sure your name it.
a: Pick a folder to place the file in. (Make sure you have 7-10gb free as the software rips the entire DVD in perfect condition)
V: Click next a pop up will appear, use the drive the DVD is on, and ignore the copy protected disc warning. Click OK
VI: Now the main title should be highlighted already, if so great! If not click on the largest file, thats the main title. Click next and sit back and let it index.
VII: You want size of 700 (With the LE edition thats all the higher it goes, which for what we want it for is awesome)
a: Choose the resolution, I use a variety of different sizes normally around 480x352
VIII: Go out to eat or play some Xbox (Yah PS2 sux lol) If you stay on your computer check the "Run In Idle" button. If you get off, uncheck that box.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You should now have a playable movie around 700MB in the folder you selected. Open up your Splitter program and split them into managable sized files. You choose based on where/how you will host your files ( I use megaupload so I keep my files less then 250MB usually split the file into 4-5 parts) Once it is split lets upload it! (I am using megaupload because thats my preference you can use any host of your choice)
-----------------------------------------

Go to megaupload, browse for the first part, name it something you want (I use XshareX.info to get the word out!) and begin uploading. Depending on your computer upload speeds, you can usually upload 1-2 parts easily without any browsing interference.
If you do it when you sleep, open up new tabs and upload them all at once, and in the morning you should have the complete parts uploaded.
Grab the links, come back to XshareX and share what you uploaded!

NOTES: Sometimes after the FUW index's your movie, it will say cannot do encrypted DVD's, close that out and re-open FUW and click "Continue with existed project" and open up the file you had made previously. Problem solved.
FUW can also split the movie apart but I found it slower then just allowing it to do the whole movie and using a splitter program to do that after.
There are multiple other ways to share your DVD's but this is the way I have found to be easiest.
