Hello,
I saw the responses to the above question here, however they are several years old, and wanted some updated information.
How to easily convert these formats to a version viewable on ios devices? I am an end user, not a programmer, so need simple instructions, information please. Also, are there any free apps, that would do the job.
Thank you.

You only need to conert the VOB (Video Object) files. They are the files that contain the movie, including audio. Handbrake, as Old Toad suggested, will convert them to Mp4, that should play on your iOS device. Mp4 is one of the most universal formats available.
Ignore the BUP (Backup) and the IFO (Data) files. Nothing there to convert.
If you are pulling the VOB files from a DVD, make sure that you copy them, not move them, to your hard drive. Moving them will disable the DVD. So you want to leave the DVD intact.

Handbrake can convert VOB files to movie files. However, I don't know which of the many formats it can convert to are best for iPhone compatible. You'll have to experiment with that.
