INTRODUCTION
Like I promise, I will tell you how to encode your DVD to MPEG4 format. First, there are mainly two types of DVD that are used for video, there's DVD5 and DVD9. The difference between them is the capacity, the DVD5 can hold data up to 4.7 GB and the DVD9 is 8.5 GB. With more capacity DVD9 can store movies in a better quality than DVD5 in higher bitrate.
When dealing with video encoding, your dealing with a large amount of data, we're talking large as in Giga Byte, because the with DVD9 you at least need 8.5 GB to store the DVD in your hard drive. And that's just for the DVD, when your doing video encoding you also need a lot of extra space for temporary files and of course the for the final result video. But don't worry because nowadays you can get a big hard disk such as 200 GB arond $100.
Beside data storage, you also need a fast cpu, if you want to finish encoding your video as fast as possible. And then you need a DVD-ROM drive to read DVDs, and some software to encode your DVD. And last, if you wan to watch your encoded videos on TV you can use DVD Players that support MPEG4 video format, there are many of them available now.
