Ripping a DVD for iPod/iPhone

Moving workout videos to ipod/iphone makes them easier to take out.

Here is how it is done:
o dvdshrink or dvddecrypter can be used to take the vob files out of the dvd into filesystem.
o Handbrake for Windows can be used to convert the vob files from the file system into mp4 files.
o The desired filesize can be configured during the Handbrake conversion so that the output file is small and can fit in the ipod/iphone.

Remastering the video files into a different DVD turned out to be a challenging task and i gave up on it. I tried with adobe premier and with windows dvd maker and both of them crashed or took too long and hence i gave up.
