HandBrake or VisualHub for iPod Touch videos??

I'm assuming you are starting from the actual DVD / MPEG2 files, then I'd say Handbreak.
BTW - VH does not support X-Grid in 10.5, thereby taking away a big reason to go with it.

Totally different uses.
Handbrake - encodes DVDs into video files that go on iPods.
VisualHub - converts current video files into video files that go on iPods.
They serve two different purposes and everyone should have a copy of both. If you don't want to pony up the $25 or whatever it is for VisualHub you can get their free version called iSquint but it's nowhere near as powerful.
Ive seen 'iPhone/iPod Touch' hacking and unlocking threads on this forum FYI!
You've seen them because they're not illegal, neither is ripping dvds that you own. You really should try reading the faq/rules sometime, it explains what is and isn't allowed here.
Not if you own the content on the disc. Ripping commercial DVDs is illegal in most countries but if it's your content you can do what you like.
they are fine to talk about
so is talking about jailbreaking/hacking iphones and ipod touches
even talking about hackintoshs is fine here

HandBreak with non-Region 1 DVDs?
I've bought several Region 2 and Region 4 DVDs when traveling abroad -- foreign films that are not (and probably never will be) available for Region 1. I have a DVD player that was hacked to play any region and either PAL or NTSC.
Does anyone know if HandBreak can be used to rip these to I can watch them on my iMac and iPod Touch?

Is there something that would work in conjunction with MacTheRipper to rip, compress and burn to a DVD+-R...kind of like a one-program solution would ?

I'm testing Handbrake and VisualHub. I have "Lost" in DVD format both Handbrake and VisualHub work well, however Handbrake puts coverts it into each episode, for instance I have 5 vob files, Handbrake put it in 3 episodes. VisualHub on the other hand just coverts each vob file 5 (mp4) files "Not in episodes" like Handbrake does. Is there a setting in VisualHub that will put it in episodes as well?
Maybe you should teach your kids to respect their/your possessions?
Toast or Popcorn will allow you to compress and burn after you've ripped.

I've been using Toast Platinum to recompress laetly. I really don't know how it compares, quality/speed wise to something like DVD2OneX. DVD2OneX has been choking lately (don't know why) but Toast has seemed to be able to do the job.
