are dvdshrink or handbrake any good?

They do the job, I get decent quality for my iPod, but I'm sure you could encode them in a better resolution, handbrake gives you plenty of options on what format to put it in. What matters to me is that a 20mins TV show takes 150mb and looks decent on my iPod touch. I can do 6 episodes 20 mins each in 3 hours, but not much of that is actually doing stuff, you can set handbreake up to do all 6 episodes and then leave it for 2.5 hours, however, my computer is slow, so you could probably do it quicker.

However, they are easy to use, and do a decent job for me, but I would prefer a one stage process rather than using DVD shrink to get the VOB, before converting again

i think i'll give handbrake a try, i'm sick of nero and alcohol, thanks

GTKpod looks useful but its for linux :(

i am using pidgin now and i really like it!
