yeah so i want to encode some vob files into quicktime compliant mp4 files, but it seems to be a pain on the pc side, so im wondering if it is easier to do with my imac. its currently a g3 400, but ive been considering getting a g4 400 upgrade, but i dotn want to unless its worth it.
wont be able to get a new mac till 2006, so its this or use my pc laptop (forced to get it for law school), which easily has the horsepower though lacks an elegant solution. any advice?

Ripping can be done on a machine of any speed. Faster machines will do it faster, of course, but encoding isn't a real-time task, so it comes down to a matter of how much time you can stand to have it take.
If you're just going from G3 -> g4, then I wouldn't bother; a change in chip generation won't help you too much. In the case of g3 -> g4, your machine's system bus will also create a performance bottleneck, so the machine may end up somewhat slower overall.

On my 400MHz G4 Yikes! machine, it would take over 24 hours to go from vob -> mp4.
