Extracting the files from the DVD
Gknot setup
Go into your start menu and start up Gknot
Note, you'll probally want to delete the install files from the folder you made for encoding xvid to make things less confusing once you start extracting files from the DVD into that directory or just put the install files into another directory.
Once Gknot is started you'll notice a highlighted tab at the top called "Program Path", click on that tab and you'll notice that Gknot doesn't know where some of the programs are. Simply click on the locate button to the left and find the executable. Check in the "Don't check" box to the right on the programs you chose not to install.
DVDDecrypter Setup
Obviously you'll want to insert the DVD you'll be backing up now...
Click on the "Ripping" tab in Gknot and then click on the "DVDDecrypter" button.
Once DVDDecrypter is started make sure you in IFO mode by opening the "Mode" menu, then open up the "Tools" menu, click on "Settings" and make sure your settings are at default by clicking on the "Defaults" button at the bottom left corner as stated in the instructions in Gknot if you didn't care to read them.

Next, select the VTS_xx --> PGC x that corresponds to the lengh of the movie. For example I'm backing The Matrix which is 136 minutes long according to the back of the DVD case. Since DVDDecrypter uses the hh:mm:ss format 136 translates into 2h16m13s so that's the one you select. You shouldn't even need to do this as DVDDecrypter automatically selected the correct one for me. After that click on the little folder icon in the middle of the screen to select where you want to put the files (the xvidbackup folder).

"Stream Processing" tab
The first thing you'll want to do is enable Stream processing by checking in the box on the top. Then unselect all the things you don't need, like subtitle or extra audio tracks you don't need. There's an option box at the bottom, make sure it's on "Direct Stream Copy".

Now just click on the big green arrow near the bottom left to start extracting the files to your hard drive. Once it's done it should look something like the picture below.
