HandBrake
The latest Handbrake version is recommended. It can now take other sources than DVD. It's easy to set up and the encoding is pretty fast.
I think its fantastic, never had a problem using it before, best encoder out there
Easiest encoder I have ever used.
Now takes any file as input instead of just DVDs. Making this your one stop encoding/conversion app for Mac.
Not sure how I feel about this thing. It only works every once and a while, and using it to encode movies to stream to the X-Box 360 hasn't worked for me yet. Maybe one day it would be either idiot proof or I will be smart enough to figure it out.
A fantastic (and free!) program that does exactly what you need it do. No more, no less!
Not as versatile as MeGUI, but a lot simpler.
