This is a great site for all your PC video queries: http://www.videohelp.com/ . If you go to the "convert" area and tell the search engine what you want to convert to/from, you normally get quite a few options. Most of them will involve downloading (usually free) software, and sometimes it can be a bit complex!

 

I'm sure there are pieces of freeware that will do the trick too, but I have had great success with Winavi: http://www.winavi.com/ (the license is $29.95, though).

Forgot to add:

 

The "tools" area at videohelp will list suitable software - it looks like TMPGEnc will do it and is free. (I don't find it very user-friendly, personally speaking).

 

What you need is a piece of software commonly known as a 'Ripper'.

 

There are plenty of free ones here:
