DVD to ipod conversion

I've read several of the forums on how to convert DVDs to work on the ipod. I've downloaded a decypher Application which worked fine however when using the converter it takes forever to convert the file to store it into itunes. I'm converting the movie "Cars" and it has been running for 2 1/2 hours so far. Is this normal or is there a better/faster conversion tool available. I'm using Videora Ipod converter.

In my experience, video files that I have made only sync to my iPod if they of the "Movie" or "Music Video" kind. When I put them to the "TV Show" kind, they play in iTunes, but don't sync to my iPod.
You can check this by selecting the video file, getting track info, going to the options tab and making sure that "Video Kind" is set to "Movie" not "TV Show".
Let me know if that makes a difference.

    Afraid they don't have anything to replace DVD SP. Your alternatives are Adobe Encore (which is EOL) or Toast, or IDVD (which can still be found in boxed sets of iLife).
    But getting back to DVD SP and your data transfer, what do you mean by that? What exactly did you do and what happened with the application? I'm running it on 10.7 and it works, but it's from the FCS3 suite; is yours FCS2?.

  • Can't complete Videora DVD to ipod conversion

    I've used the Videora DVD Decrypter and Converter step by step instructions but can't seem to complete the download to my ipod at the end. In the Videora conversion guide Step 9 says that I should be able to simply copy the (DVD) file to iTunes but when I try to drag & drop it doesn't happen. HELP!!!!!!! Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Do I still need to somehow convert file to MPG? Did I miss something?

    Sounds like you may be using Videora instead of Videora iPod Convertor.
    If you're using this guide:
    http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/guides.html
    in step 8, you're actually converting the ripped DVD to iPod format. Be sure you're using this program:

  • Which DVD to iPod Method (for windows) has the highest quality?

    Hi everyone! This is the first thread I have started! *pats himself on back*...
    ...O.K. down to buisness...
    Does anyone know or tested which dvd to ipod conversion method is best? I have looked at most of the threads here about the conversion methods, and I was wondering which had the highest quality picture, quickest conversion time, and taks up the least memory. Feel free to post your opinions, but I feel tested responces are more helpful. Thx for your time...

    'dvd decrypter' is phenominal. all it essentially does is takes the '.vob. file off the dvd. it takes up alot of space, but the quality is perfect. somewhere on videora.com there is a link... its free too. as for a converter, ive tryed most of them, and totally preferred videora, onyl because it converts any type of file.

  • Comparison for iPod Users: Free Online Converter & DVD to iPod Converter

    Compare two channels of obtaining video sources for iPod: one is using online converter, the other is DVD to iPod Converter. After the general introduction of the two methods, I will analyze their advantages and disadvantages for you to choose according to your need.
    Part One: Enjoy YouTube (online videos) on iPod
    Instruction: a useful website to convert online video freely: http://www.vixy.net/
    For vixy, you can just copy the URL of the online video into the “URL” blank of the vixy, then choose the format you want to convert to. Click “Start”. For a short time, the conversion will be finished. You can click the “Download the converted video” to restore the file.
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/vixy.jpg
    Advantages: Free online video converter. No software to install. Only a few clicks you can get the converted file after a short while. The most important thing is that online video sources are numerous and original, so you can get the first-hand sources in time through it. Some personal DVs are also shared with you.
    Disadvantages: They set limitation of the length and size of the video. The classical movies usually are not on line available. Even if existed, the quality of image and sound is inferiors.
    Part Two: Enjoy DVD movies on iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPhone, iPhone (3G), Apple TV
    We usually bought classical DVD movies for collection or regular watching later, but DVD cannot be copied directly into iPod for us to appreciate it at anytime and anywhere. On this occasion, we need to convert DVD to the format, video and audio settings (Resolution, Bitrate, Frame Rate, etc) supported by your iPod player.
    Instruction: the way to convert DVD to iPod: using Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter http://www.aiseesoft.com/dvd-to-ipod-converter.html
    Install and run Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/download/dvd-to-ipod-converter.exe
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/screen.gif
    Step 1: Click “Load DVD” button to import your DVD
    Step 2: Use “Profile” drop-down list to choose your output format.
    Step 3: Click “Settings” for setting your video parameters.
    At last click “Start” button to start your conversion.
    More tips:
    1. Merge into One File
    If you want to merge the selected contents into one file you can check the "Merge into one file" option. As default the merged file is named after the first selected file (either a title or a chapter)
    2. Movie Effect
    You can set the brightness, contrast, saturation of the video and volume of the audio.
    3. Trim Movie
    It can help you to capture the segment of your movie.
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/dvd-to-ipod-thread-trim.jpg
    4. Crop Video
    You can remove black edge of your DVD movie and get any playing area of the video by using its "Crop Mode" function. You can also select "Zoom Mode" to extrude your video slightly to adjust to your portable devices so you can get the best video quality.
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/dvd-to-ipod-thread-crop.jpg
    5. Take Snapshot
    It allows you to capture your favorite pictures from your movie.
    Advantages: In this way, you can make full use of your DVD: not only in DVD player, but your iPod player. The function of effecting and trimming allows you to clip the segment of the DVD movies complying with your will. You can enjoy more movies taking full advantage of your spare time while relaxing or traveling.
    Disadvantages: DVD movies are usually popular, lacking of individualization. You can not share others' DVs.
    With these two ways, we can enjoy the pleasure videos bring to us as much as we like. Have fun!

    Depending on what update your iPod is, you may need
    to dowload YAMB to make sure the videos play well on
    your iPod. If you are watching a converted video on
    your iPod and it freezes suddenly and this problem
    continues, you need to download YAMB and convert the
    files already converted with videora iPod converter
    with YAMB, this will only take a few minutes.
    I hope this helps you out.
    Nope. All that a person with that problem should have to do is just update their iPod firmware to 1.1.1 with the newest updater, as that issue has been resolved in the latest firmware.

  • DVDs on Ipod Classic?

    Can you burn a DVD onto Ipod classic? If not now, anyone hear if this is a potential Itunes upgrade?

    What DVDs are you referring to?
    If you are referring to commercially produced DVD movies, unfortunately, because of copyright issues discussing this subject is not permitted on Apple's forums as the Apple Discussions User Agreement now clearly states.
    Under item 2, para 8.2 it says "Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store."

  • Tip for converting AVI w/divx & DVDs to iPod

    As many others here have done, I purchased QuickTime Pro to use as a conversion tool to get various videos into my iPod. As I quickly found out, QuickTime Pro for Windows (QTPW) is pretty lame. It can't handle the Divx video codec used in some AVI files. I got around this by downloading the 3ivx.com codec, but the audio still wouldn't work. This is because QTPW doesn't handle MP3 audio encoded at a variable bitrate - which is quite common in AVI files also. Running the file through two programs is too much of a pain, so I'm giving up on QTPW for now.
    I found another program that so far is working quite well. It is called "Cucusoft iPod video converter + DVD to iPod Suite". Its working well on my AVI files with DIVX video. I haven't tried it yet on DVDs. You can find this software for free eval download at: http://www.goripper.com/dvd-to-ipod-guide.html
    Good luck!

    Download Handbrake from http://handbrake.m0k.org/
    This will allow you to rip the video from the DVD to your computer and you can select the settings you want for use either full screen on the computer or optimized for the IPod. Select your DVD and handbrake will read the chapters. Under the Destination section Select your File format as MP4 file, then AVC/H.264 Video / AAC Audio Codec. Either change the location of the file or leave the default setting. For the Video section leave the framerate to Same as source, the encoder needs to be x264 (Baseline profile), the max bitrate that has worked for me was 750 the iPod can do 768 but it doesn't seem to work correctly when selecting 768, I reccoment using 2-pass encoding, it makes the file better quality but it takes twice as long to encode, although it shouldn't be a problem on you Intel iMac, it still goes pretty well on my DP G5. If you want subtitles select the language. For Audio under Language 1 you can use any of the settings that are available from the DVD, I have never turned on Language 2 so not sure what it would do. Sample rate can be as high as 48000 that is the max the program has and the iPod will accpet. The iPod's max bit rate is 160. I got all the info for the iPod's specs from Apple's website. Click on Picture settings change the Size to 320x240 or whatever is close for wide screen video. I usually turn off Keep aspect ratio after I change the size settings. It said on a website I found that there was a bug in Handbrake that it might crash if this was on. I leave the other settings the way they are. Close the window and select Rip. Then just put the movie into iTunes and sync it to your iPod. It will then go into the Movies folder on your iPod. Hope this works for you.

    I purchased "Super DVD to iPod Converter" on line for $29.95 and have converted several DVDs and watched them on my new iPod. This software is worth the price for me, since it is very straightforward and easy to use. The conversion time is less than the time to watch the DVD. It does take a lot of the resources of the Computer while it's running.

  • DVDs onto iPod

    There's got to be some software somewhere that allows you to download DVDs onto an iPod. Help?

    Yes there is.. many different converters are able to do this task - here are my recommendations:
    Hopefully in answer to the many posts on “how to get various video formats onto your iPod” I have put together a summary of applications I use. I have tried a few others with varying amounts of success (some of which are free) - I have finally plumped for the software produced by Xilisoft as providing good quality video relatively affordable cost for use withPC’s and numerous MS operating systems. The link below takes you to their site which not only allows you to download trail versions of their software but also has a comprehensive set of tutorials and FAQ's for their iPod video conversion software.
    I have regularly used these applications to convert various file formats to iPod friendly video. They are simple to use although frequently processor and RAM hungry:
    Use Xilisoft iPod Video Converter if you want to:
    [*]Convert various video file formats to MP4
    [*]Convert most audio file formats to MP3
    [*]Extract audio from video file and save to MP3
    [*]Encode several files simultaneously
    [*]Pause encoding process to run other CPU time consuming programs at any time
    Supported file formats:
    Video:
    [*]MPEG(mpg, mpeg, dat, vob); WMV; ASF; AVI; QuichTime(mov, qt); MPEG4(mp4); 3GP; DV(dv,
    dif); Real Video(rm); Animated GIF(gif - decoding only); Macromedia Flash(swf - decoding
    audio only);
    Audio:
    [*]MPEG Audio(mp2, mp3); WMA; WAV; AU; MPEG4 Audio(m4a); Real Audio(ra); OGG; AAC; Raw
    AC3(ac3); NUT Open Container Format(nut);
    To convert DVD's to an iPod friendly video format:
    Use Xilisoft DVD to iPod V4:
    [*]Just pop the DVD in your drive select compression variables (default settings work well) and sit back!
    All these products are available on a "try before you buy basis", yes there are applications for XP which are free but and may work just as well but I have converted many hours of video for my iPod without hassle using the Xilisoft products (no I don't work for them!). Check there web site HERE

  • DVD to iPod audio problems

    OK ive already encoded the dvd using handbreak and have put it on my ipod but for some reason there is no audio. All i can hear is a loud static noise through out the whole dvd. Is this some kind of security thing or did i just do something wrong?
    Here are my settings for the audio:
    sample rate: 44100
    bitrate: 128

    I bougt the Super DVD to iPod converter program and I'm having multiple problems.
    First I couldn't figure out the registration code that I needed to enter from keeping lenogo charging me extra.
    Then I think I finally figured it out because I was able to start the program but then after I pressed convert a large window popped up saying that all the conversion processes of the DVD failed. Every time.
    And there is no phone number available to contact Lenogo support with, and the ticket I submitted, which I assume is a support email type thing, is not being replied to, and all the emails I send to their support email address, now totallying 5, maybe 6, has still yet to be replied to. I am very frustrated.
    Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? If I can't get in touch I'm calling my credit card company, which I guess is the last resort. Ok, thanks

  • Super DVD to iPod converter problems

    I have encountered a problem with Super DVD to iPod converter, which might have been stressed yet. Please let me know if so...
    Problem: when i've ripped a dvd with DVD Decrypter and convert it with Super DVD to iPod converter, it doesn't play audio in Quicktime and it doesn't play at all on my iPod (black screen, no audio).
    However, the Decrypted file does play in programs with sound and screen.
    Something else, which scared me: when i played the DVD on my iPod it continued loading (the iPod was shaking) and the battery ran down in seconds. Scary or no prob at all???
    Cheers, Piet

  • DVD to ipod... unsuccessful, even though i followed a tutorial

    i downloaded episodes 3 and 4 of the video podcast "GIDUT" (get it done using technology). the dude brought me step-by-step in the process of converting DVD movies to a format that will play on my video ipod. it took forever to convert, but now that i finally have my movie in mpg4 format, i attept to drag it into itunes, but nothing happens- it doesn't show up in my videos. what did i do wrong??
    this is lame

    Yes it is lame, because you have not supplied near enough information
    wow, thanks johnny boy. i really needed that. i supplied plenty of information. what else do i need to say? i'm wondering how to make a m-o-v-i-e playable on my ipod v-i-d-e-o. if you couldn't help, why in the heck did you respond to my post? i didn't say you had to watch the freaking podcast.
    i used dvd shrink to encode the dvd, and videora to convert it. i've done it a multiple of times, and i have had no luck whatsoever. tell me this- is what i'm doing even legal? if not, who cares... but whatever. i just want to put a freaking dvd on my ipod. it's my dvd, my ipod, i'm gonna take the protection off the dvd and try this again.
    and i'm not looking for "instant answers". i'm not some sort of leech that just comes to the forums to suck "instant answers" out of everyone. i help others, also. if you can't help me, don't post. someone else can help me.
    As far as I know this is not the site to address video encoding conversions.
    well, can you give me a site that addresses video encoding conversions??
    There should be a sticky pointing poeple to dvdrhelp.com or a similar site that handle this type of issues.
    yes, i agree that there should be a sticky that points "poeple" in the right direction. all i need is a little help...
