DVD encoder advice please...

[bob da builder]

Hi guys, can u please tell me a GOOD easy tool to convert my dvd files (vob i think), to avi or mpeg/DivX/Xvid etc.. What im trying to do is reduce the file size so i can upload more files, if u catch my drift, from like a squillion kb's to about 700mb.
Please bear in mind that i need a user freindly one, i dont mind paying (shreik!) -one that is EASY to use for a dummy.

Thank you and have a great new year.
