Best way to get DVDs/vid onto a Video ipod with a Powerbook

[autopilot]

A friend of mine has been given a Video iPod as a leaving gift from work. She wants to use her powerbook to put some DVD's and video clips onto it. I have done it with a PC, but whats the best, easiest (and free) software for doing this on a mac? I'm an idiot when it comes to macs. Is there anything like Videora for the mac?

Cheers

you need to convert the files to mp4 format...

I think you can try some video converting software for PSP... they convert video clips to the same format (mp4)

I know what format they need to be, i just need to know if there is any simple and free software available as there is for XP.

Try HandBrake & MoviesForMyPod.

Thanks, that looks just the ticket.
