Is there a straightforward way to convert a DVD (or VOB files) to an Xvid or Divx? I'm looking for something as easy as Handbreak. All the products out there are either not free, full of spam, or require too much twiddling and experimentation.

I'd be happy with either a Windows or Mac OS X solution.
