Thanks for the handbrake recommendations here - now watching Sopranos on long train journeys.

I'm surprised this did not get a mention.

Using ffmpegx for a while with great success. However this is only for DVD's that are not encrypted.

Is anyone aware of any FREE software to convert .avi, .mov, .mpg to ipod friendly mp4's?? I am aware versions to buy but if i can get it free, without watermarks/reminders etc that would obviously be better.
Thanks

Glad you got it working. This kind of thing can be a right pain.
I used to do alot of this stuff in a previous life. Handbrake is great on a Mac, but the PC version is pretty poor with DRM. I use Cucusoft Ultimate (about £20) at home for converting DVDs/Files from just about anything to anything. I use DVD Shrink for making 'back-ups' of my DVDs including protected ones.
HTH
Badger!

Got it all working now thanks.
I must use the Technical forum more often. Surprisingly there are people who use this Board who actually know stuff!
Back to the cess-pit that is 'General'!

You will need AnyDVD to decrypt the DVD. You won't be able to copy/rip without it. AnyDVD removes the copy protection. U can download it for free.

Bloody thing. I'm trying to do this at the same time as working on another laptop.
Make sure you've got the latest version.
*MAY* work better if you image the disk to your hard-drive first.
I don't use the windows version so YMMV.

I use PQDVD to Ipod which is great. I have used Handbrake, but found it a bit slow, but its free, PQDVD isn't.
And as a side note, if you want to download youtube to MP4(Ipod) format there is a free tool from vixy.net. They have an web downloader (which is really flakey), but they now have a downloadable version which has so far been 100% reliable.
