• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Depending on the size of the file, you can also use Media-Convert.com

It's free, and quite possibly the most useful website I have ever found on the intrawebz. I have converted FLV to lots of other formats with all success.

Occasionally you will have to wait a bit until your request is processed, but I have never had to wait more than 20 minutes or so. The maximum file size is 150MB.

Also, look into this site to download youtube videos and others straight to .mp4.
