    You could use mencoder, which is a console application. I use the following command for a quick encode where quality is less important:

    Code:
    mencoder dvd:// -dvd-device /media/Rammstein/ -chapter 1 -ofps 18 -idx -noodml -vf scale=320:-2,expand=:240:::1,crop=320:240,rotate=1 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=384:max_bframes=0:chroma_opt:lumi_mask:vhq=4:me_quality=6:hq_ac -sws 9 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=160:mode=0 -o video-meizu.avi

    Success in processing VOB files for Macs !

    I realize everyone has different hardware etc. I'm just relaying my experience. That said, I am using Handbrake (a beta software that is free on Versiontracker.com) to convert entire VOB movies for use in my M6. I've used an early model mac mini and a slower model ibook with identical results (except for processing speed) My mini (1.25 G4 with 1 GB ram) converts from VOB to meizu avi in about real-time. Faster machines should work better.

    I've set the framerate at 15 fps and I've installed the latest Xvid plugin for Quicktime. I've sized the movie so it's largest dimension is 320. I've not experimented with cropping. Set the average bitrate at 384 (and click the button). Output file as an avi file using Xvid from the encoder pull down and you're good to go.

    Playback is generally as smooth as you might expect from 15 fps and you can fast forward thru the video without crashing the player. Results with audio sync has been varied. A couple movies have been perfect. Others have minor problems.

    Others give it a go and see if you find better settings. This discovery makes me feel this little guy is just what I was looking for !
