Handbrake for Windows
Do you have a ton of DVDs? Want to watch them on your iPod/iPhone/Apple TV? For years, the best DVD ripping program, Handbrake, was only available for Mac. But the unthinkable has happened. Handbrake was ported for Windows. You can download a PC version of Handbrake now.If you are unfamiliar with Handbrake, it's a GPL'd multiplatform, multithreaded DVD to MPEG-4 ripper/converter. Here's a MethodShop.com tutorial on how to use Handbrake.
Features:
- Can encode directly from DVDs (even encrypted ones) or from VIDEO_TS folders
- Supports AC3, LPCM and MPEG audio tracks
- Outputs MP4, AVI or OGM files
- Outputs AAC, MP3 or Vorbis audio
- Supports 2-pass encoding
- Supports encoding of two audio tracks
- Includes a bitrate calculator
- Supports picture deinterlacing, cropping and scaling

PC users looking for a super DVD-to-iPod easy solution should use DVD Copy by InterVideo.

absolutely great, highly effective in encoding dvd files into mp4 (and it automatically merges the movie, unlike other software i have tried)
the one and the only program i have used that seems to do everything right, i just hope they release a revised windows version!

i converted an already ripped dvd from my hard drive to mp4. most of the program options seem to be unavailable. it converted to a very small file which is playable on my pc but will NOT transfer to my ipod video 30gb. i can then use itunes to convert the file and transfer to the ipod but OMG the process takes a little longer than forever!

Scanning Failed means that you need to decrypt the DVD. I have Slysoft's AnyDVD and it works great.
