There is an excellent
article by Lance Wehrung at
1src which is all about converting a DVD to be viewed on a Palm or Pocket PC. I haven't tried it myself, but it provides step-by-step screenshots of the entire process with lots of supplementary information.
The article appears to be in response to the following question

Lance: I have been in search of the simplest and easiest way to take a DVD and make a video that is viewable on a portable device, such as a Palm OS5 device or a Pocket PC device. So far in my search, I have come across a very simple way to take a DVD and make a video that is viewable on a handheld that only requires approximately 242 MB.

All the required software is indicated and is freeware except for the MMPlayer that you can get for $14.95 for Palm. Of course the freeware authors would appreciate your support if you decide to use the software.
My current approach is to use the commercial product DVD Studio, which has a version for both Palm and PPC, and when you register you get licenses for both versions. But I've had some problems with gaps in the audio track, so I'm working with the support team to resolve. It's a great program if I can get things to work as advertised.
Give us your thoughts about any method you use to watch DVDs on your PDA.
