Question about DVDs....

Not straight from DVD to MPG without conversion. You'll need a DVD ripper (DVD Shrink/DVD Decrypter are good) to rip the VOBs from the DVD then you'll need a conversion tool (Super is great) to create MPG/QuickTime/AVI/WMV/etc from them. Unless you want just to watch on your computer you can leave them as VOBs and use WinDVD or another DVD player to watch.

I also have a copy of DVD Decrypter if you need it. It was freeware but was forced to be withdrawn from the public by the MPAA. You may still be able to find it online.
No prob, I've used PCs/Macs for close to 20 years and built several custom PCs myself. I also been a designer since '98 so feel free to PM me if you have any tech questions. I try to shoot you an answer if I know it.
Yes and no. The size and bitrate control overall quality. The bigger the size/higher the KBPS/or bitrate the higher the quality. Think of the size as how big the frame or window will be and bitrate as the pipe delivering the data. 320x240 is a good medium video size. 720x480 is the standard NTSC DVD size. Just remember the larger the video size and bitrate the longer it will take to encode. Heres a good online DVD/SVCD/DivX bitrate calculator.

Also Super will allow you to convert to/from just about any video format you'll find on the net. Plus its free. It even supports iPod/PSP and mobile phone format videos.
