where can i get free software that rips dvd's. mpeg4 would be ideal since i have to play it on my palm during a flight, but mpeg will also do, becoz i can change it later.
Try Eazy VCD.

* Fit a full movie on one CD-R in XVCD or XSVCD mode
* Rip DVD files for conversion at a later time
is it freeware or shareware.
how much time would it take for a single movie ?
it is ofcourse a freeware.
The rippingis fast ,convertibg to mpeg takes time & it depends on the length of the video.
It uses TMPGEnc to convert to mpeg.
Go for Mobile media maker
already started with eazy vcd. in normal mode, with VCD output,a movie of 2 hours, how much time should it take ?
tehn i'll convert to mpeg-4 using kinoma
but it got a little problem with region locked dvd's
some of the mpeg's were of streched attributes.(the width of the video was increased)
but still i use it. its the best one out here.
EazyVCD is fine but TMGEnc is really slow, it's taking 4 hours for a 2 hour movie on a 1.7ghz with 512 mb ram
that's normal..it takes a hell lot of time... but the results are amazing..
esp the sound quality!!
i don't need great quality. as i said, i need an mp4 for playing on my palm, but i need it fast
