Which tool can convert DVD(MPEG-2) video stream to MPEG-4?

And how about sound? Any free format comparable to Xdiv?

mpeg-4 is also know as what? divx? XViD?

If you are talking about ripping a dvd to a compressed format you can use transcode or DVDrip (which is a frontend for transcode)

yeh - xvid is an open-source fork of divx, and the quality is meant to better than divx4 at least, although I can't tell the difference.
mencoder is an excellent tool for doing almost anything with video - and the docs are great too...

Divx and xvid are both compressed mpeg-4 video formats.
