Video converter uses mplayer's mencoder for conversion, which itself can read nearly everything, including DVDs, if the necessary libraries are installed. So it should be easy to add (ask the author of the program) - if its not already possible by entering dvd:// as source file. (Personally, I use a simple shell script to feed the needed options to mencoder on linux - didn't expose myself to video converter yet).
