I think even StaxRip might be more than necessary in this case
I'd suggest using Ripbot264. It's very simple!
Some basics:
H.264 is a video compression standard that is rapidly becoming the new standard for almost all applications. There are numerous implementations of this standard, including x264, Mainconcept, Sony, Apple etc...
Everyone on this board pretty much uses x264, because it's extremely fast compared to the competition and offers superior quality in almost every conceivable case. Also, if's free open source.
A GUI like MeGUI, StaxRip, AutoMKV, or Ripbot264 uses x264 in conjunction with other tools to take an input and convert it to H.264.
