I have to re-do a collection of about 500 DVD's, as I lost a 10TB RAID5 array. Previously, I ripped quickly by just copying the entire DVD structure, with folders, IFO, and VOB's.
Now that I'm starting from scratch, I'm thinking the best way to do this would be to simply remux the container format of DVD from VOB to mp4, that way I can stream to mobile device and xbox. However, I can't find any software that will remux without transcoding. Transcoding takes time, and I'd rather just keep the original DVD codec to save time re-ripping all these discs. It also preserves the origial quality of the DVD (yeah I know i can also get that with transcoding, but why bother). Maybe I'm missing something here, so if anybody can give me some advice on this I would appreciate.

You can do this with "avidemux".
First thing you have to do, is to rip the whole dvd to one vob or mpeg file to your harddisk. There are a lot of ways to do this. For example you could use the freeware "vobmerge" or use "mplayer" with the command "mplayer dvd://1 -dumpstream -dumpfile rippeddvd.vobrip"
This will rip the whole DVD to one vob-file to your working directory.
Then just load this file with "avidemux" and change the container to mp4 or whatever you want. For video and audio just select "copy" and save the video, so no transcoding will be done.

Greetings,
funtastic Thanks for the advice there. I ended up trying avidemux but I couldn't get the audio to sync (granted I didn't spend huge time on it though). I found a tool called vob2mpg which I think does what I want, I'm experimenting with a few dvd's now. The only issue so far is that for one that I tried (Yojimbo) it doesn't give you the option to include multiple audio tracks and/or subtitles. Once I've ripped a few I'll try them on my xbox and via my movies.
