I'm not really concerned with burning so much as just being able to stick a dvd in and have it ripped straight to the hard drive. |

DVDDecrypter would be good. I know there was FreeDVD back in the day. Not sure if it is still around.

most discs now have that new sony encryption stuff. dvd decrypter won't work by itself
with older discs, it's fine

DVD:Rip for Linux is a perfect free ripping solution, provided you have the w32/w64 DVD codecs and libdvdcss installed. It can rip even new discs to xvid/divx/mpeg/etc and the output files are good quality.
I use WMP11 to play audio and video in Windows, VLC to play audio and video in Linux, I like both of those programs, but would like something similar to WMP11 for Linux, integrating a good video/audio player with a good library and some visualizations and audio enhancements.

I have DVD:Rip installed as well. That is a handy tool on Linux. I have found to jsut use Amarok for music and the VLC or Mocie player to work decent in Linux.

Alright. Took this even further. I added the section for formatting tools. I also gave links to everything! Yes Everything listed now has a link to either the homepage or a direct download for things like WMPC.
I did the work for you. You do not even have to go to Google now. But remember not all of these are free. So you might have to search around still.

What would be the best way to convert from .mp4 to .wmv?
Or is there some other way I can get my mp4 videos to play on my xbox 360?

Magic Video Converter will do mp4 to WMV as well. There's a trial download too. MagicVideoSoftware : Software Downloads
The actual converter download is five items down on that list.
I'm sure the 360 can play DVDs, I would just burn those mp4 files to a DVD using Nero or something similar, unless Nero can't convert mp4 files, I never tried personally.
