Can you please recommend a video converter for me?

But, it has no malware. It's pretty popular software. Lots of people use it. It's even recommended here by other people in OP's other thread on HowardForums: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=11293600#

I've run it for years now. No issues with malware.

Thanks for the reassurement. I also saw on the website that they have been cleared by Softpedia, so I guess it is ok. I downloaded the install file, planning to install on Vista machine, dont want to mess with my CucuSoft in here on this machine
But I see it does not decode DVDs directly... so that is already a show-stopper for me... AND it does not handle subtitles... I guess I will still give it a try out of scientific curiosity... hahahaha...
(Q.019 Can I encode directly a VOB file from my DVD into iPod or any other container using SUPER ©? A. NO, SUPER © cannot decrypt VOB file on a DVD. You need to use a DVDdecrypt program to copy the VOB files to your HardDisk)
See, the whole point of having a decoder (for me at least), is to be able to pull a DVD I dont have time to watch at home, and rip it over night to watch it on my Vogue. Click-click-click... simple... easy... no hassle... If I already have a file, chances are it is already decoded and can play it with CorePlayer... who's gonna have those weird file formats listed on the Super website??? I mean, this would be the best product for somebody trying to do this for professional purposes, but most of us just need ease of use.
MHO.

Oh, and also found this... it may come up handy...

Oh, sorry. I misunderstood you. It is not a quick and easy DVD to "PPC friendly file" ripper. It converts video files already on your computer to tons of containers and compression models. Sorry to send you barking up the wrong tree.

I use CloneDVD Mobile. Works for me great.

If you plan to Coreplayer or TCPMP(but core is better) to watch moives, try Sompy Movie Encoder. It's free and FAST!!!!!!! Go to Cnet and grab it. It the fast one I've seen for coverting movies into MP4.

I would go with either Any Video Converter or Total Video Converter. Total Video Converter has a nicer UI, but it's about $40. Either way, you can't go wrong with them.
