Help: DVD to iPod

[dusty]

Anybody know a good way to get copy-protected DVDs into h.264 or at least to decrypted .vob so I can put them on my iPod? I tried handbrake but it's the Windows version and it doesn't seem to be able to get around any kind of copy protection (while my roommate's Mac can do it with no sweat).

123 DVD copy is supposed to work

What program does your roommate use on his mac (I use a mac) and did the dvd play on your PC?

Handbrake, and yes.

I found a program (appropriately) called DVD to iPod which worked for the first movie I tried, so hopefully it will work for the rest of them.

I use Jodix ipod converter for AVIs, I think it does more. i downloaded it because its free and needed it to change a bunch of video for a zune

wow multi-platform too. looks more promissing than Mac the Ripper. I have noticed that the apple drives are less susceptible to copy protection constraints. I was able to copy Rosetta Stone and play them on a Mac, but could not get it to even read on Windoze.

I use a prog called DVDFab Platinum...it does all sorts of stuff for DVDs...converted casino royale so I can watch on my phone on the bus since I don't have a video Ipod

Dusty - do you have a link to download this one? I've been trying a couple of freewares and cannot find one that converts protected DVD to iPod format
