Combining powerful functionality with a straightforward interface, McFunSoft DVD to iPod Video Rip/Convert Workshop provides an easy way to transfer DVD information to your VCD, DVD and iPod. In addition to extracting DVD tracks to MPEG or AVI files, it lets you rip DVD to VCDs and SVCDs whole or specific chapters. You also can customize movie settings such as codec, frame size, audio track, and subtitles. The program performed well in our tests, and the task-based interface was very easy to use. The only counterintuitive aspect of the process is selecting ranges for splitting. Unfortunately, the trial version converts only 5 minutes per track, which makes it impossible to adequately evaluate its performance. Nevertheless, we were impressed with what we saw. Users seeking a hassle-free DVD ripper definitely have a candidate in McFunSoft DVD to iPod Video Rip/Convert Workshop.
