i want to add some of my dvd's to my ipod or to my media centre (laptop) so i can watch them while i'm travelling without having to cart the originals around with me. tried a few times with a few different things, but i'm looking for free software which will convert all of the dvd's (ie not trials or software with 50% only limitations etc) and haven't found anything yet

can anyone recommend suitable software please?

thanks jonnys3. just tried that, but for some reason i can't watch the playback on the computer. test subject was series 1 of the green wing. i've tried converting episode 1, but it doesn't work when i play it back....any ideas?

what format are u converting it into?

i didn;t mess with any of that, so it tried to go for mpeg4 straight away. i'm happy with that, so just wanted to get one episode done so i could check it and then review how i wanted to save it (if i wanted a different format, i would have just re-ripped it)

I'm probably doing it wrong, but I've somehow got this working using DVD Shrink first, then Handbrake to convert to the correct format for my Touch.

All free and unlimited.

tried using dvd shrink as well (after finding an old post on here via the search function) but that's not working for me either

aaaaaaarrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!

think i'll uninstall and start again!
