Travel Technology - Dvd to Ipod Software

Does anyone have a sugestion of some good software to convert DVD's to MP4 (Ipod) formats?

Mac or PC?

On a Mac use Handbrake (it's free). Not sure what to use on a PC.

Another vote for Handbrake. It also works on Windows (and Linux). The new version is just amazing. Download it here (http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php). But I think it only works on DVDs with no copy protection.

i'm the oddball here as i never liked handbrake to convert dvd's on a mac as i prefer popcorn. it's not free (current is version 4 for $49.99 but i'm happy with version 3) but it works like a charm-just drag and drop and that's it.

as to ripping dvd's i use mactheripper for both my non-copy protected dvd's and copy protected ones but that's another story ;)

+1 for handbrake. It has a default ipod/iphone profile which works every time for me.

PC. Sorry...

I think, in order to use Handbrake on the mac at least you'll also need to have the VLC media player installed. Handbrake alone won't decode DVD's

If you need to remove copy protection then I think DVD shrink does that, and you can then use handbrake on the resultant VOB files.

If you need something beyong handbrake for ripping, with VLC then mactheripper is good. there is a free version and a paid version which works with MORE dvds.

I use Daniusoft. Works quite well.

Based on a recommendation I am using Formatfactory - it seems to do the job very well and is fast!

I use the free/free option of DVD43 and Handbrake. Works like a charm, except with my 64 bit Vista machine.
