I got a DVD of my son's ultrasound yesterday and I would like to convert it to something I can post online for family to see. I ran a search and their are a lot of different programs to do this, but I'm not sure what would be best. It's only like 3 minutes long, so it's not like it's a massive thing that needs converted.

I'm running Mac OSX 10.4.11

Max DVD to MPEG Converter is a powerful and simply tool to backup your home DVD disc to vcd svcd dvd mpeg file stored on your computer harddisk.It take about half of the DVD disc 's play time to get the high quality of vcd mpeg file . The pre-defined output formats are standard vcd pal, standard vcd ntsc, standard svcd pal , stand svcd ntsc, standard dvd or vob file in pal and ntsc frame rate and resolution and bits rate etc. Use the custom output format function you can get almost all known format of mpeg file .

It says it only works with Windows.

actually there's a program that you can use for free however you must search it in google though

And what is it? Can't search for something if I don't know what to search for! <lol>

hope this helps http://www.onlyfreewares.com/Audio-V.../HandBrake.php
its a free open-source soft-ware

It says OS is Windows

Rip it using a DVD ripper software like Dr DivX

I found it, I installed it...and I get an error when I try to use it.

Dr.DivX cannot use the DivX codec version currently installed.
Please install the latest DivX Codec.

Ok, I downloaded it from another web site and it works. But I don't understand how to use it (the instructions are horrid). I don't have one file on this DVD, it's a bunch of files with oddball extensions? Their are two folders, one says VIDEO_RM and the other VIDEO_TS. Then the extensions are stuff like .DAT .IFO .BUP .VOB???

Download.com is the place you can search on as well.

I'm aware of where to download. I want to know what to download.

I tried HandBrake...and while it ran fine, the MP4 it produced is blah. There's like 20 seconds of still image and it jumps around rather then being smooth like the DVD.
