I prefer to use AVS Video Tools. It is a very nice bundle of utilities: Video Converter, DVDtoGO, Capture Wizard, Video ReMaker. With AVS Video Tools not only can you convert your video files and DVDs to Sony PSP, Apple iPod, Archos DVR, Creative Zen Vision, Portable Media Player, Portable DVD player, GSM or CDMA mobile phone or to any popular video format, but also split, join, remove commercials, edit, rotate, apply effects, capture, transfer, copy, rip and burn DVD and video files! And the whole bundle costs only $29.95 just like a simple video converter.
