DVD Ripping Software Recommendations

[dwhoward]

Can anyone recommend good and easy to use software to rip DVD's you own into the mpeg 4 or H.264 formats supported by the new 5G iPod?

There is nothing like that out yet.

it can't go DVD -> mp4 or H.264, but you can do DVD -> Avi -> mp4

I think you can use dvd decrypter and then 3gp converter

Unless you have a Mac :p

PS. Kings of Leon are great.

For windows, I agree with DVD Decryptor for the actual ripping part. and there are lots of options for getting it to avi or mpg format from there.

I've had good results going from avi/mpg to mp4 video with the freeware SUPER encoder. videohelp. com/tools?tool=SUPER_1 (it wouldn't let me post a URL so I put in spaces) It's easy to set the resolution and bitrates and such.

I found the ultimate super encoding tool (Windows)
Nero Recode 2
You'll need DVDDecryper as well

It only takes less then 30 Minutes to rip a 20 Minutes-video into a mp4-file (320x240)
And it is extremly simple to use!
