DVD to MP4 software (free!)

Hi,

Can anyone recommend any software for converting some DVD's to MP4 or similar formats.

Thanks

iTunes will convert a CD/DVD to ACC; AIFF; Apple lossless; MP3 and WAV.

Choose iTunes > Preferences, click General, and click Import Settings.

In the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the format you want to convert songs to, and click OK to save the settings.

*Select one or more songs in your library and choose File > Create New Version > Create [format] Version.

MP4 isn't really a format, it's a container holding video and audio files. This would be more challenging as you would need to convert each of the files in the container. But if you only want the music files, iTunes will do it, for free.

Have a gander at these:

DVD to MP4/MKV/H264

Handbrake is mentioned quite a lot on the 'net but never tried it myself.

I gave up on freebees long ago; VideoRedo is my go-to converter from DVD/MPEG 2 to MP4.

MakeMKV and Handbrake are the dream team for DVD as well as Blu-ray.
