Converting dvd's to ipod format

is there a product or a process that apple supports or recommends to convert dvd movies to the right format to load onto a ipod?

To answer your original question... no, there is no product that Apple support or recommends for DVD to iPod conversion.
As mentioned frequently on this forum, there are a number of pieces of software to accomplish this task, but none of them are supported by Apple.

  • Dvds to computer/convert dvd file to ipod?

    I would like to take some dvd's and put them on my Ipod. (I've heard of this 'dvd decrypter but I don't think people are supposed to download it anymore or something..)
    1)How do I get the dvd 'onto' my computer and saved as a file?
    2)Which program is good for transferring this 'saved file' to the Ipod readable format? (I already have ffmpeg program, will this convert the 'saved format' once I have it to Ipod format?)
    Thanks in advance?

    You can download dvd decrypter here. I use it and it works great. http://www.thenickster.net/DVDDecrypter.exe It is a free program. Like the previous poster, be careful of spammers, there are great freeware programs out there that will decrypt and convert your movies to the correct format. Some of the pay programs are faster, but beware of one Cucosoft, it is the one that has a particularly annoying spammer who uses several different names to promote their porduct. I can't tell you if it works or does not work, but just a personal note, don't like their practices.

  • Converting DVD's to ipod

    I'm sure this has been asked hundreds of times, but here it is again. How can I convert DVD's that I bought (not stealing) to my ipod. I am running a wimdows computer. I have tryed Videora, No luck! There has to be an easy way. I just want to drop in my DVD and just like a CD put it on my ipod. Am I asking for too much?

    Download DVD Shrink
    (http://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html). Then re-author
    the DVD so it only rips the main movie (no menus or
    extras), and convert it with Videora. It is not a
    fast process, but it works well.
    I tried this but only came close to success. After ripping with DVD Shrink (making sure to only select main title), 5 separate 'pieces' of the film were created in VOB file format. Although DVD Shrink did leave two complete copies of the movie in the destination folder, Videora did not recognize these because they were IFO files. Even after chnaging file type to all, Videora would still not transcode the complete movies files in IFO format.
    Is there something simple I am missing?

    Hi Rick,
    I am extracting the material from the dvd directly using handbrake. The file that handbrake creates lands on the desktop. I then ammend the end of the filename from mp4 to m4v. Following this I click and drag the file onto the itunes icon in the dock. I can then download it to the ipod no problem. The dropouts occur no matter where I play the file. In other words, on the desktop (with QT), in the itunes library and on the pod.
    I went back and looked at all the dvd's that are giving me this trouble. The culprit seems to be that the audio signal is in LPCM (linear pulse code modulation). Just for the **** of it, I tried to rip one track using handbrake changing the sampling rate of the audio to 48,000 Hz which I believe is what LPCM uses (previously I had set it at 41,000 Hz in handbrake). But no go, still has dropouts. One of these problem dvd's has a second audio option in AC3 (2ch). As a test, I ripped one song using that. Dropouts are gone. However, the audio is a director's commentary (on the music video he shot) with the music in the background, so it's not what I want.
    Is there any way to convert LPCM to AC3? Or any other way to fix this dropout problem.
    Thanks,
    Pete

  • Alternative to roadmovie for converting avi files to ipod format.

    Hey all,
    I am currently using roadmovie to convert my avi files to the ipod format. I like it, because it can do batch converts.
    Unfortunately, when I put some files to be converted, it always crashes after the first one.
    I was wondering if anyone knows a good alternative to roadmovie. I would like it to be able to do batch converts and add subtitles to my converted movies.
    Anyone a suggestion?
    Thanks

    I do not know if it supports subtitle, but it does batch converting:

  • Converting Dvd to 60G ipod????

    which program is best to convert dvd's to the 60G ipod?? quick time pro? anybody heard of pqdvd? my friend has a 30G and he uses the pqdvd converter, he says everything seems fine and very easy to use. He did say that after he convert a movie to the ipod, it seems that if he wanted to forward to the next scene/chapter he has to use the fast forward button and keep pressing it doen to forward to the next scene. Sounds like the dvd menu is not available to select individual scenes. I am getting my 60G tomorrow and wanted to see which program works best to convert dvd's to theipod. Please help, thank you.

  • Converting DVD movies to iPod

    I have QT Pro. Can I use that to convert DVD movies that I own to my iPod? If not, is there a way to do it?

    I have QT Pro. Can I use that to convert DVD movies that I own to my iPod?
    Not by itself. You would sill have to use additional utilities to rip, extract, strip, and/or preconvert before it would be ready for QT Pro to handle.
    If not, is there a way to do it?
    I believe "You get what you pay for" and so would probably recommend a good multipurpose commercial application over a one of the current "freebies" or multi-application approches. Here are a couple you may wan to look at or trial test:

  • Take too much time to convert QT movie to iPod format

    Hi,
    I got QuickTime Pro and was able to convert avi format home video to iPod (mpg4). But for a 30 minutes movie, it took more
    than 8 hours to convert (From avi to mpg4) and QT consume 90%
    CPU all the time. Is there something wrong with my settings?
    Please advice. Thanks a lot.

    Welcome to the discussions, qiup!
    No, I doubt that you have anything set wrong. H.264 is VERY computationally intensive and will take awhile on even today's fastest computers. It's almost like MPEG2 was 7 years ago when it required a hardware addition if you really wanted a DVD done in less than a day
    As time goes on, the algorithm will get better, there may even be some add in cards that make it faster, but for now, a faster machine yields faster results.
