I've been using the ffmpegX for a while now. It's easy to use, just select the output format from a drop-down list, then drag the file you want to convert into the source field and click convert. It has presets for "iPod for TV" and "iPod h.264".

HandBrake for DVD Video and Forty-Two DVDVX for mpeg files
