Ipod movies

Does anyone know of a good, safe program to convert DVD's so I can download them to my ipod? I'd really rather not pay for movies I may already own just so I can watch my on my ipod. :P

yeah, i'm going to do a smidge more looking, but dvdfab seems to be it. I just don't want to have to pay apple money for movies I already own, so i can watch them on my ipod. bugger that.

Ditto Handbrake, both as good and frustrating. I've ended up with a two-part process:
1. Decrypt the DVD to HD with DVD Decryptor
2. Convert to iPod with Handbrake

The GUI for Windows Handbrake is pretty terrible, but usable - hopefully they've got rid of that nice 'feature' where you would set up a queue of movies to process overnight...and then it would prompt you after each one that it was done, before moving to the next! Sure defeats the purpose of a queue.
