How to convert DVD to iPod Easier, Faster and Higher?

Christmas is coming.
Many people are planning to buy gifts for their family members or friends.
iPod has become the first choice of Chistmas gift with the release of iPod Touch and iPod Nano 3 this year.
With iPod we can enjoy our DVD movies on it. But iPod only accepts MP4 and H.264 video formats. So we should use third-party software to handle the conversion.
