Ok, so I ripped a DVD usind CladDVD as for some reason FreeDVDripper crashes right near the end (rather frustratingly I might add) & then I used VOBtoMPG converter, but the MPG failed to import into Windows Movie Maker due to an 'unexpected error'. So I used VirtualDubMod to convert the VOB to AVI (no compression) & then I imported the AVI into WMM which took like an hour as the file is like 354,385,835,830,580,538kb in size (slight exageration).
After all this, when I think I finally managed to import the movie, I play the AVI in WMM & it stutters & pauses & it's just not usuable.
So I'm thinking the AVI is too big for WMM to handle so I tried to re-convert the VOB to AVI using VirtualDubMod again but with various compression/codec settings - all of which fail to import in WMM (just get a box showing 'importing' but no progression).
I basically want to convert a VOB to an AVI format or any format which is not huge in kb (as it takes too long to import) is compatible with WMM & preferably the option to rescale the size of the video to a smaller 400x250 dimension.
This has seriously been testing my patience now for nearly 2 days & so any help will be greatfully recieved...
Thanks in advance

Is it a copyrighted dvd? If it is, you may not be able to solve the problem legally. ;)
If it's not, check out mediacoder.sourceforge.net (http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net). Media Coder is a pretty robust media converter, but it has a learning curve... It may be able to help.
