Vista - XviD/x264 encoding

Can anyone suggest some software for encoding DVD to high quality xvid and/or x264/mkv format videos? I'm not concerned at all with speed, it can take as long as it needs to for the highest quality results. I've had meGui recommended, but it's far far far too complicated for me. I'm looking for something that is simple, and high quality, though, as I said, speed is not of issue.

Running x64 Vista Home Premium, NVidia 8800 GT

Thanks!

Hi Zoloft,

There are few converters out there so you can give them a try, but they are not free. The one is Video Converter: Convert video, AVI MPEG WMV MP4 MKV video converter and the second even better is DVD Ripper - DVD ripping software, rip DVD to AVI, MPEG, DivX.

You can always try the free application first, right. I guess this is what you are looking for:All DVD to DivX/Xvid Converter 1 - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com

Cheers...
