  • DVD movies to iPod video format

    I often travell on official business, I am trying to rip a DVD to my ipod. My friend told me that Sothink ipod- converter can convert DVD movies to IPod video format. I have downloaded and try it,I think the Sothink IPod Video Converter is designed to be an easy company for my IPod.

    If you want a really organized package for ripping your dvds into .mp4 "ipod" format use the dvd Decrypter and Videora ipod conveter. They are very organized and they put you in control of the video/audio settings... And it couldn't be easier. Here are the links if you wanna give these FREE programs a shot
    Videora ipod converter - http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
    Dvd Decrypter - http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/
    ps... You need both because after ripping your dvd it becomes a .vob file..Ipod cannot read this so you must use videora to make it an .mp4 "ipod friendly" format.. Reply if problems occur please!!! Thanks...

  • What are the movie to iPod video settings?

    I wonder, what are the exact video settings corresponding to selecting "Movie to iPod" when exporting?
    The settings left to consider for Movie to MPEG-4 when using H.264 320 x 240 are:
    Bitrate: ? kbps
    Optimized for: CD / Fetch / Stream
    Frame rate
    Sync every ? frames
    And the advanced video settings:
    Limit description to: Main, Extended, Baseline
    Encoding: Best / Fast

    After a bit of testing I think that a video rate of 622 kbps is used when selecting the internal Movie to iPod export option.
    This results in 750 kbps when audio is 128 kbps.
    Short videos in iTunes Music Store use 622 kbps video rate (Michael Jackson Billie Jean and Bad, Pixar For the Birds).
    Longer videos used 570 kbps video rate (Michael Jackson Thriller, ABC - Lost).
    However my original question was what settings to use to match the Movie to iPod export option.

  • Use QuickTime Player to convert movies to iPod video format......

    I don't know if this has been posted but, thought everyone might find it useful.
    You can convert quicktime movies to readable ipod video format without having to purchase Quicktime Pro. Thats right, just the Quicktime player.
    Now, I know that you can use Handbrake along with other converter programs for free. but just in case you want to use Quicktime Player here is a link that will show you how via applescript or automator.
    http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~ari/scripts/Quicktime2iTunesVideo.html

    Here's a step-by-step of ONE of the ways (I have a Mac) you can convert your videos (mpgs) to mpeg4 files to view on your 5th gen iPods so your videos will have sound:
    I use Mpeg streamclip found on www.squared5.com.
    (This is from memory and I don't have the program opened in front of me so apologies if this is not totally accurate!)
    Once you've installed Mpeg streamclip, and opened up a new window, drag the mpg file you want converted onto the new window. You should now see the first clip of your video in the window.
    Go to File and choose "Export to MPEG4". This will open up another window. Click the button "iPod" on the upper right corner of the window and that will automatically input the settings for an iPod. Then click the button "Export to MPEG4" at the lower right corner of the window. You have to choose where you want your file saved. I just place them in the Videos folder of my hard drive. Then this will start the conversion of your mpg.
    Depending on how large your file is, this may take awhile.
    When the conversion is complete, simply take your new file (now with ".mpeg4" as an extension) and DRAG it into your iTunes library. I don't remember if you have to actually drag it onto your iPod as well.
    As you drag the mpeg4 file onto your iPod, it should say "updating song" at the top of you iTunes window, then you know it worked.
    So now you have a VIDEO on your iPod that plays SOUND!!
    Hope this was helpful.

  • Convert avi to iPod mp4, mov to iPod video, mp3/mp4 to aac for iPod & iPhon

    I think this is too simple, but can't find a better one.
    1. Download iPod Video Converter for Mac at http://www.download.com/iPod-Video-Converter-for-Mac/3000-22004-10717657.html?tag=pdpprod and run it on your Apple computer
    2. Load files you'd like to convert
    Add the video or audio files you'd like to convert by clicking "Add" button in the main interface.
    3. Set output format
    In "Profile" drop-down menu, you may select output format. The software allows setting different output formats according to different files.
    Tips: by selecting iPod format (*.mp4) in "Profile" drop-down menu, the software will output mp4 file playable on your iPod.
    4. Set General conversion mode (Optional)
    After selecting certain output format, you can choose ‘General’ tab on the right top which will show its general standard. By clicking certain settings such as 'Video Quality', ' Audio Quality', 'Output filename', you may set it.
    Tips: If you like, select the output folder by clicking the ‘Browse...’ button.
    5. Preview and Trim function
    After selecting a video file, you can have a preview of the file on the right bottom preview window. And you can set Start/End of the output files as you like by clicking ‘Trim’ button and edit in the Trim pop-up window.
    6. Set Advance conversion mode (Optional)
    After selecting certain output format, you can choose ‘Advance’ tab on the right column which will show its advance standard. By clicking certain settings such as 'Start Time', 'Video Size', 'Bit rate' and so on, you may set it.
    7. Start converting
    Finally, click "Convert" in the File menu to start converting. And after a successful conversion, the info "Completed" will show.

    I bought Quicktime pro so I could convert my AVI files to watch them on my iPod video.Purchasing QT Pro does not add any more AVI support to QT than you have with the basic player. By this I mean, if you can watch it, you cant convert it. In addition, since some AVI components are not available for the Mac at all and others are m=not available for OS X, you are automatically doomed to not being able to convert "all possible" AVI format combinations.
    The program converts (exports) about half the movie and then pops up a window that says it needs "more components" to finish the job.Since you indicate you can convert half the file, it sounds as if you may have installed a proprietary codec which does work but have failed to pay the registration fee to completely "unlock" the export codec. Suggest you find out which codec you are using (e.g. Flip4Mac, DivX, etc.), find out how much they want, and decide if you want to pay up.
    This person would be grateful to any kind soul who can take her by the hand and walk her through the process of getting AVI movies onto my iPod video!
    My best advice would be to simply not use these files and allow them the dignity of a long overdue death. However, if you must use them, then learn how to distinguish the different audio and video codecs that can be used in combination in this file container. (Us things like the Finder "Get Info," QT "Show Movie Info." QT "Show Movie Properties," or similar media player windows to for this purpose.) Next, google the codec to see if Mac components are available. Lastly, install the available codecs most needed. The problem here is if you install too few, then some files will likely not play. Install to many codecs and usually create conflicts which also prevent files from playing. (I.e., you may need to determine which components are "essential" to you and which you can live without).

  • THE SIMPLEST WAY TO GET A DVD MOVIE IN IPOD VIDEO IN 2-3 HRS

    I just got the Ipod video and got Quick time 7pro and everything but it is not the right software to play a DVD or get a dvd movie into ipod. So i tell you exactly what to do: go to carrydvd.com, find the version for use on symbian and psp. download it to test it or buy it to be able to convert a whole dvd movie. When you have the software ready you just put the DVD in, on the screen go where it says select video quality: PSP (MP4) Hi quality. go to screen size select 320X240 (PSP, PALM OR WINCE) PRESS PLAY BUTTON AND IT WILL COMPRESS. WHEN FINISH YOU GO TO ITUNES AND IN FILE GO TO ADD FILE TO LIBRARY, LOCATE THE MOVIE YOU JUST COMPRESSED AND ADD IT TO THE LIBRARY, THEN CONNECT THE IPOD AND JUST PUT THE MOVIE FROM THE LIBRARY TO THE IPOD AND IS READY. I JUST GOT IN MY IPOD TROY WITH THE QUALITY OF A BOUGHT VIDEO OF ITUNES MUSIC STORE.

  • Resources for movies for iPod Video 60Gb?

    I've just acquired the iPod Video and absolutely love it! Are there places you can download content for it, besides Apple.com which seems very limited at this point?
    Also, I'd love to import my favorite DVDs, but I don't know if that's a legal use of the rights to a DVD purchased.

  • Availability of movies for ipod video in uk?

    Help! I am so confused - I've had a mini for a few years now and have been bought a video for xmas and I am trying to work out if it is possible to download movies on to the new ipod (30gb). ITunes won't let me - only if a US member - is there anywhere else i can get movies from for this ipod or am i destined to a life with just music???
    THanks for your help!
    Mutley76

    I'm not entirely certain, but I think the idea was that even if you couldn't download movies from iTunes, you could still 'back up' (wink wink) your DVDs and such onto the iPod.
    And if an Australian user can download music videos, an English one probably can too. That is what the video feature was mainly meant for anyways.
    Hope this helps.

  • How Do I Watch Movies From IPOD Video On My TV?

    I have some movies on my ipod & i wanna hook it up to my projector to watch on the screen. The Projector has the Audio/Video Plugs, so whats some ways i can do this and what will i need to buy?
    thx!

    Well, pretty much all you need is an A/V cable. It's a cable that has what looks like a headphones jack at one end (except that it has 4 connectors instead of 3) and RCA cables at the other end (with the red, white, and yellow jacks). Sometimes this type of cable is called a camcorder cable. Here's a picture of one at The Source: http://www.thesourcecc.com/estore/Product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&cat egory=CamcorderAccessories&product=1508373
    Plug the headphones jack end into the iPod and the RCA jacks into the TV (yellow is video, red is right audio, and white is left audio). Then if you want to watch a movie or photos on the TV, go into the settings for either one of those and where it says TV Out, either set that to Ask or On. I always have it on Ask because then what it does is asks each time before I view a photo/video if I want to output to the TV or not. But, you will only see something on the TV if you are watching a photo/video; you will never see the menus etc on the TV.

  • When I convert a .mov to iPod video format, the sound disappears

    For some reason, I have a .mov file that loses its sound when I convert it to m4v. This doesn't happen on all .mov files, only a few. Any suggestions on things to check for/solutions?

    What software are you using to convert the videos to iPod format?
    If you are using Quicktime Pro, or iTunes 6.0.2 to do the conversion... then that is probably where your problem lies.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file. You'll end up with video and no sound.
    You'll need to use some other software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    I think iSquint has become quite popular.

  • How can I import / capture a movie to iPod video format.

    Hey. I was wondering how I can grab a captured video from my digital camera or digital stb and convert the file into an m4v file. I am currently using Nero Vision to capture then converting the file in QT7Pro but for a 30min clip, this may take me somewhere between 3-4hours to fully complete. Is there any easier way that I can make an iPod movie without wasting all of my time?

    Converting video using the new H.264 codec does take a long time. A faster computer is the only way to "speed it up".
    The iPod can also import MPEG-4 files (.mp4) and even those in .mov formats.
    There are strict settings rules that must be followed or your file will not import to your iPod. These include the dimensions, frame and data rate and audio settings. Make sure you've got them correct by exporting a short (2 minute) sample file and test it on your iPod.
    Once you know the settings work you need only leave them untouched and always use the "Most Recent" settings in the QuickTime export dialog.
    I have all of my computers running 24 hours a day. I do large projects while I sleep.

  • Playing DVD's and VHS movies on iPod Video

    Hey, well instead of buying a dvd ripper we have a digital to analog converter to plug the VCR and DVD player into the tv which we use to convert our old VHS homve videos over to DVD. Anyways...would it work to capture the video with that, load it into either pinnacle studio or intervideo WinDVD creator and then save the movie as Mpeg? I'm pretty sure it would work but would it be good quality?

    Why not just try it?

  • Quality of movies on iPod video

    Hello everyone,
    I've successfully managed to place some iMovie projects on to my iPod, but the quality is a bit rough, no real clarity. I've also got a music video purchased through iTunes, and the quality is really very good.
    On checking the settings of both, I find they are very different. I tried emulating the settings on the music video in the iMovie project, but the result was a disaster.
    Does anybody know the best settings to use? The original is widescreen HD.
    I'll be upgrading to Tiger soon, and iLife 06 - will that help?
    Thanks.

    No problem Steve, that is what I love about the Apple community, we are always here to help out our fellow user
    You are welcome to send me samples of both, I would be interested in seeing them.
    QuicktimeKirk is right concerning the dimensions and TV playback. There will be some compression artifacts on everything conformed to the iPod, even stuff purchased from iTunes (it is most noticable in shadows) that is just the reality of compression. Though I have never done an exact comparison on MP4 vs. H.264, I do know from Apple themselves, that the drive in the development of H.264 was how well it would blow up to large sizes without artifacting badly. So even though it may have a 320 setting for the iPod, in my experience items have blown up very clean. But the best way is to try it using both settings and see which ones comes out best.
    But I am curious to see your screen shots, that may help me. I am a professional video editor and I do a lot with photo slideshows for certain projects, so seeing what you are talking about may help.
