DVD to CD

[mac77bear]

I need to put a dvd onto a cd so I can bring it to work to watch. I know there is a way to do thisby converting to VCD or SVCD. I am able to rip the dvd no problem to a Video_TS folder. And i have tried ffmpegX but can't seem to get it to work going from Video_TS to VCD. I did get it to convert to DIVX but it was too big to burn on to a cd. I have searched all over for a way to do this but can't seem to get it done. I find www.vcdhelp.com not much help either. Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated. Also on a side note please don't bother posting comments about copying DVDs. I am well aware of the laws and if I want to copy one of my own dvds it is completely legal to do so. :D

I forgot to mention the reason I need to put it on CD is that my work computer only has a cd-rom no dvd:(

Handbrake is quite nice and free http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21117

Or DVD2oneX which is a commercial product that I have never used.
