open your DVD
and take the .VOB files ( usually a couple or 3 large ones and a smaller one or tw depending on your menu structure ) and paste them into a folder
change the extension from vob to .mpg and there you go. extracted. You can then use software to join the files together and further software to re-encode it from a ridiculous 4-9gb to something smaller.
The point of the post? DVD video files are already Mpeg layer 2 so copy them, rename extension and then convert to divx if you want a CD size avi.
