Anybody tried this out yet?

Looks promising....

On my 933MHZ Quicksilver mac it encodes about 9 frames a second.

Note that it generates a video stream *onlY*. ie no sound track.

What codec are you using? I used 3iVX and it seemed to be transcoding the video at least in real time on my Dual 867 MDD. Also, it's not really an issue that it doesn't convert the audio. You could simply convert it to MP3 with another app like ffmpegX or Mac3dec and paste it in w/QT.

I am a super newbie on this video stuff, all I have is a digital camera...

Anyway... I selected a VOB from a ripped DVD and selected mpg-4 compression. It scrunched a 1GIG VOB into a 110MB mpg-4 video file.

The resulting video looked a bit blocky on my 17 in monitor.

What might be the easy way to extract the audio with ffmpgX and join the rascals?

Would the sound track be automagically synched with the video.

Is it not the case that no dvd player currently plays mpg-4?

On my dual 1GHz G4 DiVA 1.0b3 transcodes at about 46 fps from an OSEx .m2v file.

That's the fastest .m2v transcode I have ever seen on my Mac, I am quite impressed. The interface is a bit dull but the performance is great.
