Auto GK is the best/easiest to use that I've found.

I know NOTHING about Vista. I'm trying to help a friend who's 1500 miles
away who knows almost nothing about computers. Here's what we want to do:

All that's saying is that his computer probably doesn't have the required AUDIO codec required by AVC to interpret the
audio track. That's the problem with some freeware - they're good up to a point.

If the videos are going to be played on a laptop, using say VLC (videolan.org) Good Luck, a better alternative
conversion program would be Handbrake (handbrake.fr). It uses modern audio and video codecs (AAC and x264), is pretty
fast in the conversion process, and ensures you have the required software installed. The DVD can be converted to
either MP4 or MKV (Matroska) which can be viewed with VLC.

Handbrake isn't a "one button" conversion program and requires user interaction to set it up properly, which could
also be frustrating, but the program is used by a large group of people and there is plenty of information available
by using Google search.

Another alternative would be to pay $99.95 to buy a "one button" program like TMPGenc 4.0 XPress if your friend
becomes totally frustrated with the free alternatives. Good luck.

I don't think one does. All he want is the movie, period. No subtitles,
menus, etc.

Thanks to all who responded. I'm back to my four 12-hour days tomorrow but
I'm going to try calling him tomorrow night if I'm not half dead.
