DVD To mpeg-4 video Help

[Dennistpa]

Newbie here .... I have search the forums and google but not getting an answer. I have instructional DVD's which allow me to skip to the next lesson or playback a lesion. When I rip them to put on my ipod I end up with a mpeg-4 movie files and lose all the functionality I would like to keep. On one occassion I ended up with a meg-4 video file and that plays with the chapter breaks which I want. I cannot seem to recreate this video file format. I have used DVDFab 7, DVDCloner 7, and Convert Genius. I have tried going directly from DVD and from the TS Video files as the source. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I think handbrake can convert to a mp4 for the ipod with the chapters.

Thanks for the prompt response. Hopefully someone can confirm before I get too into another program.
