This includes TV series as well.

You might want to look into a company named Slysoft. With their software you can rip a the separate VOB files on a DVD into a single VOB. A VOB is just a renamed mpeg2 file, so if your player won't recognize it just change the file extension.
It's larger than most avi's depending on your encoding, but it is the exact same quality as the DVD. Everytime I've tried re-encoding DVDs to a smaller file size the graininess and color blocks have upset me. I don't like it when there are splotches of blacks inside what's supposed to be black...
