Converting .vob to .mp4

[James Griffin]

Hi

I ripped some DVD's the other day, I the .vob files on my hard drive and 
I used vobcopy to rip the data.

Now i'd like to convert these files to mp4. I've seen a number of 
examples online about how to do this using either ffmpeg or mencoder.

I'm using FreeBSD 9.2-p2, and i'm just wondering if anyone can recommend 
which program to use for best results. I haven't done this before so 
advice would be really helpful.

Cheers, Jamie.
