Handbrake Is An Easy DVD Converter
Handbrake is a cross-platform, no-hassle DVD to MPEG-4 converter. Handbrake allows you to quickly convert your DVDs to computer-friendly files for mobile playback on your laptop or video iPod.
HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded DVD to MPEG-4 converter, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.
Handbrake can take in any DVD source (VIDEO_TS folders, DVD images or real DVDs) and output it to either MP4, AVI, or OGM format. Handbrake supports chapters, auto-cropping and scaling so running the program is about as easy as 1. browse to your DVD source 2. pick your output format and 3. output to your destination file.
Obviously, the 4th step would be watching your movie on your computer or mobile device, but 1, 2, 3 sounds so much better.
