I have had excellent results with DVD to Pocket PC. So far I have encoded several of my DVD's including Clerks, I-Robot, Harold and Kimar, Several of my South Park episodes and even some Spongebob for my youngest son (Great for trips on the Axim or a notebook).

I was able to squeeze I-Robot (1hr 57mins), into a 233mb file with great video and good sound. I was impressed with the results I recieved. The only glitch I have had is that some DVD's wont work with it (I am assuming this is some soft of copy protection).

As a side note, I was watching Screensavers (God forbid) the otehr night and they said that encoding DVD's to your pocket pc was technically illegal because you have to alter the media to make it work on the pocket pc. I would like to state for the record that if I pay good money for something (DVD, software, whatever) I will do as I please with it. As long as I am not sharing it with others or making money from it the entertainment industry can pucker up.


Cheers.

P.S. As a side note, it took about 2 hours and 45 minutes to encode I-Robot which was a 2 hour film.
