use this link for some help. i would not recomend the part about using Flask mpeg. i use windows media encoder 9 instead. smart ripper works great though.

I use Flask and it works great. Smartripper makes VOB files which are normally 4 to 9 gigs. I only have 5 gigs to work with and Flask make them around 1gig. Use the guide at the top of this forum "DVD to AVI" if you want to try flask.

Also, the guide jpmarth noted is for making Windows Media files. If you own Sandisk CF cards you might have a problem playing these on your Axim. I have 3 Sandisk CF cards and none of them can play windows media files. All of my non-sandisk cards can play them.

I make everything DivX which runs fine on the sandisk cards.
