Exporting DVD's

ffmpegX
It seems like not too long ago that I was experimenting, "ripping" CD's. Step One: Connect my stereo to my Mac IIsi...then after recording an aiff, downsampling it to that new format mp3. A song took all day. It wasn't feasible. It wasn't until I had a 8500 that mp3 became truely feasible, even then, it wasn't until I had an iBook that I really started encoding my collection.

Now that music is mastered, so to speak, it is time to start playing more with video. These early utilities to re-encode dvds into mpg remind me of those early days of mp3.
