I def agree DVDfab is great. Whenever the encoding is too new for that I bust out the classic DVDShrink + AnyDVD
Is there any program that will allow me to rip it to a file instead. And let me split it into Episodes?? Preferably free if not still suggest it anyways.
dvd shrink and anydvd is the way to go. It will rip the menus and all, just like the normal dvd
I haven’t used this in a while but it helped me rip a few season DVDs to episodes as avi files.

The proper way to do it and get the best quality results is to use DVDFab, or AnyDVD, depending on the copy protection that’s on the DVD, to rip the DVD to your hard drive. You will end up with VOB, IFO, and BUP files which contain exactly the same video, audio, chapters, and subtitles as the DVD, and is the same size, roughly 4GB.
Next, use an app like Handbrake to encode that into x.264 video/AC3 audio/mkv container, which will be 1GB or less, but still have practically the same quality as the DVD. You can even keep the chapter markers if you want. That’s it in 2 steps.
Once you outgrow Handbrake, you can move up to MeGUI, a better encoder which you can do a lot more with, and avisynth.
DVDshrink 3.2 is the best
