Converting DVD's to iPod format

So, my wife got an iPod video, and wants to put some of our TV shows on it. Problem is, I can't find a single program that will convert from a DVD to .mp4. Several claim to, but none I've tried actually work. I'd prefer freeware, but if it works well, I'd consider paying for a program.

Barring that, one of the programs I downloaded does convert .avi files fine. So, if I can get a program that will convert DVD to .avi, I can take it from there.

    I have not used it before but have heard many good things about Videora.

    If you use a mac, I highly recommend Handbrake

    Says it'll do the trick with DVD Decrypter. Giving it a shot now, and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks.

    Sadly, no. PC all the way.

    Videora appears to have worked. I'm going to go test the episode now. Thanks!
