Forum, please how do i convert DVD to mp4 and watch on the go

use a program called nero recode. its part of a package called Nero.
http://www.nero.com/ena/index.html
as yu can see from the site, it is not free. but i think they hv a free trial system
so u can use for 15 to 30days
anyways, once you install, open nero recode, then select convert video to nero digital
import yur video, select yur video format and bam, its starts encoding, this process is much faster, trust me

if as a naija man, u want a free encoder, u can try itunes. its has the quicktime product inbuilt, so u can convert easily.
the downside is that, its takes alot of time

cheers
