Handbrake should be all you need. I've never used the mac version but the Windows version is the most solid of all DVD to iPod programs I've used.

Oh, and it's free.

I've got HandBrake on my hard drive, but I don't remember downloading it or ever using it. I can't speak to the quality without testing it.

I've used it countless times for cable tv show that I've recorded using my pvr150 and the audio and video is exactly as good as the recorded file.

I'm ripping Knocked Up to test the dvd quality. I'll update this post in a little while.

MacTheRipper for DVD decrypt then Popcorn or ffmpegX for conversion

Use Mactheripper to rip dvd to hdd, then use VisualHub to convert to desired format. Couldn't be simpler.
