First you need a ripping program to decode the vob files so you can play them on your system - if you just drag the files off the dvd to your hd they will not work because they are encoded for copy protection. use OSEx to rip the files to your hd download it here

then you will need aq program to convert the vob files into lower quality mpeg files. ffmpegX is the program to do that and you can download it here
