We have a corporate DVD that we no longer have the source from around the office, and we'd like to take the ripped Video TS folder and convert it into a small file. I know there must be topics on this here, but I haven't been able to find them. Does anyone know the best way of doing this? I appreciate it, thanks!

Apple-mp2-plug-in (20$) + Mpeg Streamclip (www.squared5.com, free)...
it allows many export options, resizing, different codecs etc ...
more "flexible" then HB ...

Mac The Ripper (free) + ffmpegx (free) also provides more encoding options, more codecs, etc.

But Handbrake should be fine for what the OP wants to do.
Mac update estimates:
MacBook Pro mid 3Q08 (Cantiga, 2.5-2.8Ghz); MacBook early-mid 4Q08 (Cantiga-G, 2.4-2.5Ghz); MacBook Air late 3Q08 (45nm); Mac Pro/Xserve mid-late 4Q08 (3+Ghz Nehalem); iMac early 1Q09 (Cantiga, 2.8-3.33Ghz, maybe quad option); Mac mini early 3Q08 (Crestline-G, 2.1-2.4Ghz 45nm).
