Software to rip DVD to mpg and mp3 files?

What software (preferably freeware) out there for PC (i'm running windows 2kpro) that can rip DVD video to mpg or avi format and DVD audio to mp3 format?

Anyone has used any of the above and can give a comparison of them?

get a mac. its MAC-FORUMS. I can tell you a real easy way on mac, but Ive recently stopped wasting my time on wintel machines.

WINDOWS SUX.
I was also came here for the answer to the same question except for the MAC.

what is the answer for the Mac then, i need to know

Ya seriously me too there was a program for recording what happens on your screen into video there was an ad for it in a Macworld issue I got I'll see what it was and tell ya.

snapz pro will record video coming out on your screen if you specify what you want.

DVD to mpg or mov or avi

I use a two step process...

1. Mac the Ripper
It copies the DVD to the HD, just like it's on the DVD

2. ffmpegX
It will covert your .vobs to about anything

Of course your backing up DVD's you own, right?

Let me know if you have a better way... I've only had my Mac for 3 weeks now, so I'm still learning

Thanks I'll try using ffmpegx and also Snpaz Pro was actually exactly what I was thinking of I think.
