didn't wanna have to hassle with mailing stuff with netflix and since Blockbuster is right down the street from me.. hehe.. let's see how many DVDs i can "rent" this month. their selection was surprisingly good and they even have a new TV Series section now.
got the 3DVD/$30 deal..
my first 3 rentals were Along Came Polly, Eurotrip, and 50 First Dates (all for my sister)

As far as I can tell, people rip movies into XviD just to annoy me. There is no quality or file size difference from DivX that I can tell, and there's a larger chance that the DivX codecs I need are already installed.
Also, Diesel, if there was one person on this forum who would be willing to try out something wacky and new like this, it would be you. I knew it was you who posted this thread just from the title

Do you guys just copy and save your DVD's as DIVX files etc?
Or do you make actual copies of the DVD's (i.e so it can be played on the DVD player in your lounge again).
If so.. what program/workflow do you guys use?

If you want to copy a DVD (IE Burn it), you should use this program, I believe it's called "DVD Shrink". It's a really small, efficient program, and quickly reencodes a DVD to fit on half-sized DVD-R media.
Otherwise, DivX is the way to go, you can fit a reasonably high quality copy of a movie on a regular CD that way.

XviD does have a slight quality and speed advantage over DivX, but the most important thing is that it's free and open-source. DivX isn't; the lastest version is either $19.99 or adware.
There's a comparison of popular codecs here. XviD wins.
Also, if you ever have a problem playing movies, check out MPlayer. It's for Linux, but I believe there's a win32 port somewhere if you run Windows. (Google probably knows.) MPlayer plays any video, no matter what.

BS Player does exactly what MPlayer oes for Lnux, but for Win. I suggest everyone gets that.
Also, Media Player Classic (no affiliation with Microsoft) is very good. It's what I use for playing anything in Windows. It looks just like the old MS Media Player, before they Gheyed it.
It's very functional and minimal.
