they only need 8 gigs if the video on the dvd has taken up 8 gigs.. a few of the dvd's that I've ripped have only needed 3 gigs space for example... whereas bigger movies like forrest gump, saving private ryan etc easily use 7 gigs or so...

so it depends on the size of the video..

you could rip one vob, encode it, delete the vob and repeat until you have a series of encoded avi's, then just append (join) them in virtualdub and voila
