DVD to Mp4???

Thanks for all your help guys. I did it. I have turned my first DVD into a .mov file. Not an mpeg 4 file, but good enough for the first run. All you advice really helped and I will try a different app for my next one; see what I like best.

Thanks again

Thanks for all the info guys!! I've definitely been out of the loop for the last while on what's new for DVD backups on the Mac!

I'm trying out forty-two and from what I've seen so far it's awesome. I love it! Finally a one-app process for DVD ripping on the Mac!

I've only tried one DVD so far but it worked perfectly for the one I tried.

Guess I'll have to try ffmpegX too. I haven't tried mencoder, but forty-two uses mencoder and the author says he's improved on it. Anybody have any trouble with mencoder that needed improving?

Any good sites y'all go to for Mac DVD ripping info & news?
 
Both ffmpegX and 42 use mencoder for DivX encoding. I pretty much exclusively use ffmpegX for (s)(x)VCD/CVD/DivX creation and it works great for all. The DivX encodes have been good quality and in sync. There is a GUI for just mencoder but it's not so hot. Also, the default settings in ffmpegX yield much better results (in my experience).

If you're interested in SVCD creation w/ffmpegX, here's a link to a guide I made:

Probably the best site for Mac DVD ripping is http://www.vcdhelp.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=9&sid=

There is also http://www.squeeds.com and http://www.ripdifferent.com
