Convert DVD for quicktime, etc... -LEGITIMATE

[jonpb]

Hi,

I need to convert a DVD so I can import it into a program (after Effects 6.5) and output for inclusion in Flash. I used Mactheripper, but I can't encode this to a format I need, such as mpeg4, .mov, etc...

Any advice?

Info:
This dvd was made by folks at my job, but I do not have access to the source footage. It's a legit deal, I'm not trying to pirate anything. It's a work related project (I work in a university)

Many Thanks,

J

The short answer:

Use Handbrake to convert the DVD straight to MPEG4, or use ffmpegX to convert the VIDEO_TS folder you got from Mac The Ripper.

Handbrake is easier. ffmpegX is more powerful and reliable.

There's been a lot of discussion on this in the past, so use the search feature if my short answer isn't long enough.

Thank You for the software advice. I'll be sure and search first, ask later next time.

Thanks again,
