Several years back, I got a DVD drive with Nero (I think version 7) included, which has Nero Recode. I didn't pay a cent for it, and it allowed me to easily archive shows from my DVD's to my hard drive, to play back whenever I want, without worrying that the kids are going to snap off the DVD drive tray, or scratch up the DVD's.
I've finally got a dual core processor & Windows 7, and I need to get a new version. I bought a new burner about 6 months ago, and it came with Nero, but it turns out to be a crippled version that keeps wanting me to upgrade.
Is this the best deal out there for a full version that has Nero Recode?: ($55 shipped)

Also, are there any alternatives that are just as easy to use? I want something that:
A) can easily recognize the movie or specific episodes from a DVD ripped to hard drive
(this is the weak point with most programs I've tried, including Ashampoo Movie
Shrink & burn)
b) easily compresses to h.264/mpeg4 without any additional software
c) doesn't require downloading separate pieces of software/codecs in order to work
Big plus if it can automatically compress any programs put in a certain folder to h.264/mpeg4 in the background!
If someone knows of something better or less costly, I'd appreciate your input now - otherwise, looks like I'll be spending $55 on the new version to use in Windows 7 with my Athlon II processor.
Thanks!
