Super © will convert almost anything to anything else:http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html(download link is right at the bottom of the page)
To copy a DVD (that you legally purchased) into a valid iPod/iPhone format, we recommend that you also use the best available DVDDecrypter to decrypt the entire DVD and copy the VOB files to your HardDisk in order to encodethem with SUPER ©. Note that DVDDecrypter is also a Freeware.
Phil,the best program ive encountered is Handbrake.Albeit i use dvd decrypter first then Handbrake,its simple to stick movies onto a sony psp for example.The movies are under 300mb,so a few can be slapped on............
I have now found that Handbrake suits me better as it is much easier to configure and setup.Thanks to all for your suggestions. They are most appreciated:)
