Handbrake is a utility that can convert standard DVD's into a compressed format of your choice. mp4 with AAC audio or AVC with h264 video and AAC audio. It also lets you crop the image to get rid of the black bars to bring down the size even more and lets you choose options as to how you want it encoded.

    HandBrake is very popular, I can see it on many website, this is benefit from free. On the other hand, it is difficult to use for beginner, lack support and weak stability. HandBrake attend technology and ignore user experience.
    I consider iFunia is better than it, please visit http://www.ifunia.com

    I prefer the much more cleverly programmed and also free StaxRip which can predict image quality for a specified output size.

    other than the fact that it seems to cause very noticeable interlacing on animated dvd's (regardless of the settings used), a very solid piece of software.

    also it would be nice if x264 encoding was sped up, but this might just be the nature of the codec itself.
