DVD rip to iPod on Windows

Im sorry, i have seen this asked before, but the only ones i saw were ways with mac programs. Can somebody give me a link or tell me a step by step way to rip my DVDs and then convert them to a iPod format that is completely free, and i can convert a whole movie without paying for a converter. Thanks.

well thank you for reading adn doing some searching.Luckily for mac users the process isnt as cumbersome adn troublesome for windows users. I have always used this software to convert my dvds to be played on the ipod and have had no troubles and no errors. here is the website for the software adn related info about it and a website on how to convert a DVD using this software.

How to get dvd movies onto ipod with windows

Okay, I have finally figured out how to get movies from DVD to ipod for windows users, and it's free, with no watermarks. It involves a 2-program process. First go and download Videora Ipod Converter at http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
Then download DVDFab Decrypter at http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm
Now after you have installed these onto your computer:
1. Insert the DVD into your disc drive.
2. Open DVDFab and open the DVD folder, video_ts or whatever it happens to be
3. Select your target destination for the files to be saved
4. Click start to begin copying the DVD.
5. Once everything is done being saved open videora ipod converter
6. Go to setup and select the one click profile which size of video you would like and the output of the files
7. Go to convert and select new transcode video, find your video file and select open
8. Wait for the file to be completed transcoding
9. Open itunes and select file, add file to library, find the file(s) and select okay
10. Most of you should know what to do form here

For anyone who wants to get up and running, these are the settings I use for Videora.
After days of experimenting, I settled on the settings below which seem to give a good balance between filesize and quality. There will be a bit of blockiness in the dark shadows but if it's too much, just increase the 'bitrate'. Experiment with a short video, but make sure the video you experiment with is very high quality or you won't know what is or isn't down to your settings.
Again, don't use h264. Only Quicktime Pro has h264 nailed. You may be able to get some things to work in h264 but more likely, you'll be watching a movie and it will suddenly stop, or your iPod's hard disk will start munching away to a black screen. mpeg-4 works fine in Videora, always. No problems.
Video
Mode: MPEG-4 > CBR
Resolution: 320 x 240
Passes: One (two makes almost no difference except doubling the time)
Bitrate: 384kbps
Framerate: Input
Audio
Bitrate: 96kbps
Channels: Stereo

The easiest way... DVD's to iPod w/ Windows

If anyone has been having a confusion lately with how to convert DVD's to the iPod, then they should really try this, it's time consuming, but it is extremely user-friendly. Also, it's mostly automatic, just need to make some coffee and wait an hour or so.
First, find DVD decrypter... (it's dificult to find because it was recently pulled)... and install it.
try http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/SetupDVDDecrypter_3.5.4.0.exe
that is where I found it to work last, I will try making a mirror.
Now run dvd decrypter, and go to MODE at the top, and then ISO, and click on READ... this will make an ISO of your dvd, and it will be unprotected so you can convert it. Next use a ISO mounting tool, like Alcohol 52%... (http://trial.alcohol-soft.com/en/)
Using alcohol 120%, open it, and drag the ISO file made by DVD decryter into the window, now drag it to the desired virtual drive in the borrom half of the alcohol panel.
now it will show up as a dvd drive in my computer... it is exactly the same as the original DVD, except that it is unprotected. Now use Quicktime, or pick your own DVD to iPod converter. I use InterVideo's iVideo2Go, but I am not sure they have a trial version, so do some research, maybe there are some more cheap software out there, but that's always been the easy part...
So using iVideoToGo, choose your source as the mounted virtual drive, set your taget as wherever you want, Copy as Apple iPod, then click on the hammer icon and choose any profile you want, the higher the frequency the better audio you get, and the lower, the smaller the file. now choose *split by chapters. (you can choose to put the whole movie into one file, but with my example movie, The Matrix, every chapter had a higher lag in video/audio synch, so you'd hear it a few seconds before it happened. Click ok, now click on Main Movie, and then click the icon in the bottom right-hand corner. once it's finished, open iTunes, click add folder and add the folder of the movie files you just made, now use the SHIFT select all of the video files, then drag to the iPod icon on the left.
That's it, just like manually managing your music files...

oh, and if you have abesolutely no money, whatsoever, feel free to email me... [email protected] for...ummm... financial aid*.;)

Dvd ripped to ipod

I have ripped some of my dvds to my pod to avoid the in flight movies while I am on biz trips.
BUT!!!
I can't figure out how to get them to play each chapter in sequence.
I need to find the next chapter in the menu once the prvious one has finished.
I use "i'm to dvd for my pod" to rip & convert.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Steve

I downloaded a program called I'm too DVD http://www.imtoo.com/dvd-ripper.html
It's fairly simple to use & not expensive at $35 (i think).
Let's rip how you like & converts to mp4.
It takes a while to rip the dvd, but you can mess with all the settings to skimp on quality.
I ripped the Cure Trilogy DVDs using the best settings & it is sensational.
Al you do then is drag the mp4(s) into itunes & plug the pod in.
Hey presto, it will synch the movies aswell as the music.
!! remember the screen on the pod is not a 50" plasma so setting the rip for widescreen can make it a little hard on the eyes ;o)
I found the best feature was being able to rip the dvd with whichever soundtrack you wanted, so it is not limited to english.
Give it a whirl
Cheers.
Steve

Ripping DVDs/Movies to iPod 30G

I got a 30G ipod for my birthday recently but i cant seem to put my dvds on it. A friend suggested that I download a rip hardware but I can't seem to find one that works on Windows and is free . Does anyone know of anything that might help???

You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).
Be aware that this question will attract the spammers who infect these forums and are trying to sell you something. You don't need to buy anything, and there are many free converters in the link I provided.

Ripping DVDs to iTunes/iPod?

I want to put a DVD onto the computer so I can then put it onto my iPod. My brother put the first POTC movie onto my iPod, and want to put others on, but I don't know how and the software my brother used (Sompy) seems to hate my computer.
So, can anyone help me out here? What FREE software can I use to get the DVD onto my computer? I know that iTunes will convert it to mp4 format so that's okay, I'm just having trouble getting the damned thing onto the computer in the first place.
Thanks!

Dvd ripping to put home dvds onto ipod video

ok so i was told to use "decrypter" and so i went to google and typed it in and it came up with a few results
the first one was:
DVD Decrypter
so i click on that and this is what it says:
"This software is no longer available, this page is stored for archival puposes only.
On 24th of November, 2005, Macrovision Europe contacted AfterDawn.com, notifying us that they have acquired full rights to the DVD Decrypter software and have changed its licensing terms. Effective immediately, they have decided to withdraw all distribution rights from all third party companies, including AfterDawn.com. Thus, distributing DVD Decrypter is now as illegal as it would be to distribute cracked copies of Windows operating system or pirated copies of games."
ok so first off what does my trying to put dvds on my ipod have to do with pirated movies and games?
anyways
the second result was:
DVD Fab Decrypter
so i click on that and this is what it says:
"This software is no longer available, this page is stored for archival puposes only.
On 1st of January, 2006, a new copyright legislation came into force in Finland that made it illegal to distribute tools that allow circumvention of technical copy protections. The legislation was approved by Finnish parliament and was based on European Union Copyright Directive, a law that each EU member state has to implement to their national legislations"
So basically how the heck do i get dvds on my ipod using decrypter if it's now illegal to use it?

Cyndi,
The other poster is nothing more than a spammer, who has already been kicked off of these groups under another name, who only posts to spam this product (click on his/her/its name to see all the "help" it has offered other people only relating to this product). Any product that has to spam to get their product sold, should be given a cautious eye.

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 do you think is the best way to get DVDs onto your iPod?

I haven't recieved my video iPod yet, its coming in the mail, but I'd like to be ready when I get it. In your opinion, what is the best way to get DVDs onto your iPod?
I have Windows, so Handbreak doesn't work.
I've tried videora, but its taking ages...
Thanks!
*Just noticed you can edit*
I would also like to add that I would perfer that it was free...
Videora is driving me up a wall... It still has 3 hours to convert this thing its been going for 10 min and its still at 0%

Depending on the specs of your computer, time taken to convert DVD's to an iPod-playable format can vary. On my computer (see below), it takes about 10 hours to convert a 2-hour DVD to the iPod format, using Videora.
So, due to the extremely large size of the DVD rip, it'll take a while to convert it, regardless of how fast or slow your system is.

Transferring DVDs to the iPod

I have two DVDs (concerts) that I want to get onto my new iPod. My first attempt indicated that you could use Quicktime Pro to move videos to your iPod. However, now I'm finding that it may not be the case since these are "commercial" DVDs - which Quicktime doesn't seem to support.
Is there any way to take a commercially purchased DVD and transfer it to your iPod using Quicktime (or anything else for that matter)?
Thanks.

I cant believe there are still people out there who believe that Quicktime can rip DVD and transfer to iPod. When the G5 iPod first came out, I was thinking the same thing and wasted 30 bucks on Quicktime Pro 7 which does no s* at all. And I went to this forum, I found the products that people passing around that actually work. The first one is called DVD Decrypter for ripping DVDs. And the second one is Videora iPod Converter which is for converting the ripped files into appropriate ones in order to play on your iPod. But the bad thing is, I couldnt find the website that offer those two products (sorry). Maybe you should look around the forum for a while. Or try on download.com.

DVD Ripping help needed

Well, I looked through the topics for the application, "handbrake", and downloaded it via one of the links that one of the members gave. Anyhow, it wouldn't install. I'm assuming it's only for mac users? Anyhow, is there a version that's for windows or does anyone know of another good DVD ripping application that is iPod friendly? I heard that handbrake can rip and convert ripped DVD's into the correct format for ipod. Also, if it can rip it into a format that can be converted via videora, then that would be fine as well.

After several tries with other apps mention, I stumbled on "PQ DVD to Pod" software and it has worked great for me on my XP PC. Download the free trial version. It will limit you to a 5-10 minute record time unless you buy, but you can at least try it out before spending money. It is easy to use. Does DVDs and most other vid files as well.
I like that it will easily let you take portions of a DVD (like concert videos) and nicely pull out just the ones you want. Downside: unless it's a long DVD, you have to manually stop the recording so have to watch when near completion.
No perfect solutions yet it seems.....
