FREE 1-min movies (Quickies) - if U can guide me on how to mp4 the DVD's

I have 80 x 1-minute "Quickies" created during a new reality-TV concept patented in South Africa (Quickies is to Stephen Spielberg as Idols is to Brittany Spears). Some are hilarious, some are real tear jerkers, but many are rather colloquial. All are highly professional (no AFHV crap here). I promise that you will want to keep at least 10 on your p800 to show friends (wow factor with real style) and to watch again (for about 3 weeks after Quickies screened in SA, I coulnd't walk into a business meeting without someone discussing this thing they'd seen that had had such an impact on them).

HOWEVER, they are on DVD...
Can someone tell me what software (or combination) to use to take clips from the DVD and put into mp4 format, WITHOUT having to reg the software (ie freeware or shareware that I can use b4 expiry). I will then rip and find a way to host these 4 u to d/l. (I can't get at raw Apple files without paying an editor a packet).

PS: I don't want this to take hours. I'm looking for input on what to use that is quick n dirty without me spending hours xperimenting
PPS: All legal - my IP

Perhaps I need to be a little clearer. I have searched and read to death. Posts focus on commercial software that these video gurus already have and can interchange between. I need 1 simple process.

. DVD->mp4 in 1 (max 2) step (I cannot spend hours on this)
. incl selecting DVD track
. incl correct sizing and settings
. using s.ware that is 100% functional during trial period (this is a 1-off for a double DVD set then I'll focus on distribting the links)

Closest I've seen is a 4 step process, of which at least 1 step requires registered s.ware (rip vob, vob->avi, avi resize, avi->mp4)

I STILL need help.
I tried mpegable and broadcaster beta, and time and again I get great mp4's that play perfectly on the Dicas player, but on QuickTime and p800 they play without sound.
I've read EVERY thread on Esato & Howard, and also the unofficial mp4 guide. I've followed workarounds for this issue by taking the DVD file acorss to my harddrive and renaming it to an AVI (it plays perfectly). However, converting this avi has exactly the same results. the ONLY thing I have not tried is testing the 3pg file I also created (not sure how to test this).
