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...

  • HT5149 Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found. Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard

    Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps.
    Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard drive at a Mac Authorized Repair.
    Short history of repair and my Final Cut Pro installation:
    1. Macbook Pro stopped working, sendt it for repair. Had the Final Cut Pro installed,
    2. Desided to try a MiniMac and recovered my backup with Time Machine, got the Final Cut Pro working.
    3. Got my Macbook Pro back from repair, did backup on this one as well. But this time only the files not the Applications.
    4. Removed the files as mentioned in HT5149. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found.
    5. When I try to install Final Cut Pro from App Store, it downloads the application as planned. But after download it won´t show in the Application folder nor in the downloads folder, nor will it start an installation prosess. If I pause the installation in App Store, I can see the Final Cut Pro icon in my Dock. (But, as mentioned, after installation it won´t show neither here or in the Applications folder).
    Any suggestions on what I should try now?
    Thanks for any reply, I´m in deep water here...

    Sounds like there is a file you're not getting.  Never do a removal manually.  It's so time consuming and a pain.  There's a very easy and fast way to do this, safely, properly.
    Get the free "Final Cut Remover" app from Digital Rebellion (dot com), use this to remove FCP X.
    Reboot the Mac.
    Download from scratch.
    If you're not seeing FCP X in your app folder, run Disk Utility to Repair all drives.
    If that doesn't help, try running Disk Warrior from Altsoft to repair the directories on all drives.

  • I purchased audio book from iTunes store. It shows up in my iTunes library but is not uploading to my ipod Touch, even though my computer is authorized. Any suggestions?

    I purchased an audio book from iTunes store. It successfully downloaded to my iTunes library< but will not upload to my ipod Touch, even though my computer is authorized. Any suggestions? Any and all are greatly appreciated.

    If your iTunes is set on manual sync, then you have to manually drag and drop. Otherwise every time yousyncyou'll get all changes even if you don't want it.

    My computer won't recognize my iPOD Touch even though it does recognize my Clasic and Nano. Any suggestions?

    Well, now I feel like an idiot. I was using TWO CORDS. Ya, don't make my mistake. The one I had a problem with was made by a company that was not apple, and it was for CHARGING. I bought it with charger, and that's all it can do. It doesn't send data like the real cable. So, check your usb cables. :S

  • Why won't contacts sync to iPod classic even though music and calendars do?

    Why won't contacts sync to ipod classic even though music and calendars do?

    I have found a way.  Not elegant, but it does work.
    Itunes looks for a contact list on your mac.  But, if you are signed up for iCloud, it appears your contacts are actually on iCloud, not your Mac.  So, you see your address book (left column) shows headings for "on my mac" and for "iCloud".  If you select "on my mac", no contacts appear.
    However, you can drag contacts or groups of contacts from the iCloud list to the on my mac list.  They will then sync to your iPod classic.
    Of course, you'll have to periodically some housecleaning as you modify the contacts that are in the cloud, but it does work.

  • My pc sound level is very low on playback from dvd and most websites even though its at 100 percent

    the playback level on dvd and most video streams is very low.(youtube seems ok)This is my second pavillion g7 w/ windows 7 .The first had a defective fan but the sound level was ok and there was a graphic eq section for sound control with other output options.I've yet to find that area on this pc in the month I,ve had it even though their identical computers.I,m at a loss for the cause of the problem.Headphones work fine but are annoying.

    i use professional studio monitors to monitor the audio
    the issue , is if i turn up the audio it will clip on premieres main output.  so i cant turn it up any more.
    the specific moment i took the screenshot the audio volume was at -18db, but even if it was up at 0db it would not even reach half volume on my computers main output
    this is the case regardless of the nature of the audio, be it stock music, dialogue, or sound effects  maybe there is a hidden master output that im unaware of

  • I downloaded the album Hullabaloo and the files are protected and won't let me put them on my iPod touch, even though the computer is authorized. How do i unprotect them?

    Read the title, that's basically it. It says it can't put the songs on my iPod because the computer isn't authorized, even though it is. The files are "protected" and have been like that since i bought the album. Any help? Thanks:)

    De-authorize your computer, then authorize it again.

  • My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod speaker even though the buds are properly connected.

    My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod and iPhone speaker even though the buds are properly connected. Does anyone know why and is there a solution?

    Assuming you are using Bluetooth headphones, do the apps have the option to use Bluetooth?
    The app should have an option to select the speaker (or wired earphones) or the Bluetooth headphones.

  • HT1329 when click on ipod Nano (7th generation) on desktop of new mac air, NO folders show in ipod nano (even though in disk mode...) - help - why do none of folders of music  show? cannot transfer

    hi all
    i am trying to use my ipod nano 7th gen. to transfer all music from my ipod nano to my new macbook air
    i read the apple article but the step where it says
    'double click on ipod on desktop and transfer/drag the itunes folder to your itunes folder in computer/hard drive' - there are NO FOLDERS and nothing showing when i double click on my ipod nano
    no music shows
    even though i have 7 days of music on there
    what can i do?

    *Please don't just tell me to switch to a Mac.* Giggle, giggle!
    *The local Apple Store is baffled, but it appears they don't want to give me my money back or a credit due to it being bought from Amazon (even though they are an authorized reseller).* Just because they are an "authorized reseller" does not mean that Apple can recoup the refund.
    Now, to your problem. Perhaps the Apple Store already suggested this but you always want to begin with the basics. These steps might not solve your problem but they're kind of like checking to confirm that the TV is plugged in before you troubleshooot the blank screen.

  • Is there a way to find my ipod touch even though I didn't register it on iclound

    is there a way to locate my ipod touch even thought I didn't register it on icloud

    Only the old fashioned way
    lost/stolen                                      
    No app on the iPod is required.                            
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • DVD won't eject, even though it shows up on the Desktop

    Got this iMac just before the intel iMacs came out. Everything has been working fine until now. My brother put an apparently really thin DVD in the drive, its recognized and will play in DVD Player. But when I press the eject button, all I here is it spinning. After that it obviously falls back into the DVD slot and DVD player automatically opens up and starts to play the DVD.
    Any ideas?
    thanks alot.

    *Have you tried any of the following:*
    The Eject Key on your keyboard?
    The Eject option in Disk Utility?
    Launch Disk Utility (Finder>Go>Utilities), select the ‘stuck disc’ in the volume list on the left & then either click the "Eject Button, Press Command+E or choose File>Eject Disk.
