For an almost totally free way to pull any movie you want, try the following:

Acquire
DVD Shrink (current version is 3.2 I believe)
AnyDVD (trial is free but only good for 30 days I believe)
PocketDivX Encoder
Mplayer

DVD Shrink will rip the movie to your system in one of several ways. I will give instructions momentarily. AnyDVD does the decrypting. It is $35 and worth it. With AnyDVD and DVD Shrink, you can back up any DVD you own. I am not suggesting anyone do anything illicit. It is legal to backup movie titles you own so this post is based upon that assumption.

1. With AnyDVD running in the system tray, you can start DVD Shrink.
2. Click on the 'Re-author' button (if you want to get everything including menus, use Full Disc but note I have not tried menus on the BB)
3. Double click the movie that is presumably in your DVD-ROM (make sure you have the DVD Browser tab selected)
4. Double-click the main title. The main title is usually fairly obvious to discern as it is the largest, labeled as such, and under the 'Main Movie' section.
5. Select the 'Compression Settings' tab
6. If this will be for the BB, drop the Automatic video down to Custom Ratio and move the slider as fat to the left as possible.
7. Deselect any of the audio and subpicture items you don't want. I usually leave only the English 5.1 selected.
8. Click the 'Backup' button
9. In the 'Target' tab, ensure the drop-down is on Hard Disk Folder, choose the correct output path and ensure the 'Create VIDEO_TS ...' checkbox is selected.
10. The other tabs should be okay as you are not burning. (If you have a newer version of Nero, it will sync seamlessly with DVD Shrink and write straight to disk if you choose).
11. When you select OK, the rip will begin.
12. When it finishes (15 minutes normally), you will have the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders created.
13. Run PocketDivX Encoder
14. You should have a bar pop up that has a bunch of different devices. I suggest you select the far right which I believe is Home Theater. It changes the movie te least which is good as the Mplayer will shrink everything to the proper size.
15. Each area in the setup has a number. For 1, click on the left button (browse) and change to details view then navigate to the VIDEO_TS folder and select the largest .VOB file which should be your primary movie file.
16. For 2, you have to select the browse button in order to change the output path.
17. For 3, I always max the audio and video qualities and leave everything else alone.
18. Click the Encode Now button and wait (30 minutes approx)
19. The Mplayer settings I use are a combination of previous ideas in this thread. I made the batch file with the contents:

@echo off

echo %1

C:\mencoder\mplayer\mencoder.exe -vf scale=240:-2 %1 -o "c:\Videos\small\%~n1.avi" -of avi -ofps 24 -ovc lavc -oac lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=230:acodec=mp3:abitrate=64

PAUSE

20. The path to the application will change based on your system as will the output directory. You can play with the scale but all my movies are wide screen and the ratio above shows the entire movie with 0 distortion.

21. You can drag the .avi created with PocketDivX Encoder onto the icon for the batch file and it will run for about 20 minutes or so.

The resulting file will be the one you move onto your BB. This is working great for me and takes you from start to finish. I hope this helps.
