I recently discovered a DVD file converting software called Handbrake. Its available for Mac OS 10.5.X Windows 2000/XP/Vista Linux and you can even download the source code.
Simply Place a DVD in your drive, Start Handbrake, Click the “source” icon and select the VIDEO_TS folder and click OK. It Scans the files and then allows you to select a destination folder. You can further configure your preferred options. Click the “Start” button and walk away.
After an hour of so come back to your computer and the file has been converted to an .mp4 file. Add this file to the Movies Playlist of your iTunes Library. Select the movie and right click. Choose “Convert for iPod/iPhone” from the menu.
This process takes the longest. I let it go over night. When you wake up in the morning, sync up your movies and there it is. I have done this with several movies and they are extremely high quality. There you go. Great quality movies just like from the iTunes store.
Disclaimer: I only recommend doing this for personal use. Only convert movies that you have purchased. Do not distribute converted files. This is illegal.
