full dvd in itunes

[suicidal nun]

Hello all, I was wondering if there was anyway I could import a FULL dvd into itunes? meaning the dvd menu and such.

I did a search and found mac the ripper and grabbed that program but it only rips the file to a .vot, not a format compatible with itunes. Is there a way to convert this .vot format to an itunes-compatible format while preserving the dvd menus of the film itself?

The reason why I ask is because I'm deaf, and would like to watch my movies with the closed captioning option instead of burning the subtitles on--which is pretty ugly. I also wish to convert my dvd collection into a digital collection eventually.

I'd appreciate any suggestions you guys may have.

I'm pretty sure you can do that with Handbrake. I've never tried it but there is an option for audio & subtitles. Good luck

I don't believe so but iTunes added closed captioning support a few months back. Try Handbreak which will let you rip the file directly from the DVD. There is a tab for adding adding subtitles to the encode. Within itunes preferences under playback there is a "Show closed captioning when available" check box.
