Ipod Movies

[Mike Reed 2]

I was wondering if anybody knows how to get DVDs that I own onto my Ipod. its an 80gig if that has to do anything with it.

For what it's worth I use AOA DVD Ripper. You can get it from this site.



To rip a movie for iTunes it takes about as long as the movie is to watch. Kind of painful but really nice once you have it ripped. The tool compresses the video to about 5-600 mb depending on movie length.



Good Luck!!

Ditto to what First said. AoA makes a great prodcut that is easy to use and very intuative. You may just want to invest in a portable hard drive too. The movies will fill up yours pretty quick.



best of luck!

Handbrake. Google it and it should be the first link. I think they have both windows and mac versions, i've only used the mac version, so if you have windows i dont know how good it is but it works flawlessly for my mac. they also give you tutorials on how to use the proper settings and stuff when u rip the dvd.

Handbrake is the way to go. I have two boys. One uses it on a MAC and the other uses it on a Windows PC.

I've used PSP9. Works great for both my ipod and PSP (same file used for either device).

If your movies are already in a file format (ie, AVI, MPEG, etc..) then you should look up a file converter on Google. Not sure of any names, sorry cant help there.. but you need to convert the file into an MP4..



Edit: welcome to the site

just downloaded handbrake for my mac. put van wilder in and clicked start. i dont really know what its doing but i have a progress bar. i guess its ripping it to my computer. is it ripping it to ipod size?

DVDFab Platinum has that feature built in. I've never used it, it's my "backup" utility though and it works great for that.

When you use handbrake, on the right hand side there should be a windows that will let you select what you would like to optimize the video for. You should be able to select iPod. It works great!
