DVD tv shows to ipod

Has anyone "ripped" a dvd of a TV to their ipod? I have, but the audio will not match the video and the video stutters. I've ripped movies from dvd's without any problems. Anyone...? Thanks!!

may be an issue with the video converter you are using to change to mp4 format

How do I transfer legally Owned DVD's to my iPod Video?

I got a new iPod Video for christmas and I want to know how to take my own personal DVD's and transfer them to my iPod. I've read lots of threads about this subject but I haven't been successful in transfering anything. I downloaded Videora and DVDFab Decrypter but I don't know how to use them. I also found a lot of feedback saying that it would be illegal to transfer DVD's to the iPod and all I can say to that is, that's absolutely ridiculous. I bought the DVD's legally and should be able to transfer them. I paid for them and I don't plan on selling them to anyone else so explain to me what's illegal about it. I think that preventing us from transfering DVD's is just another way for Apple to make money. Eventually they'll come out with a Movie library in iTunes that you'll have to pay for, they already have music videos and tv shows. The other thing that really ****** me off is that in no way do they make clear that you're not allowed to transfer DVD's to your iPod. I think that a lot of people assumed along with me that you can transfer any movies you wanted to the iPod without a problem and the fact that you can't is a serious question in my mind as to whether or not Apple has committed fals advertising. Apple products are already priced much higher than they should be and I feel that this is just another way for them to make money. Sorry I needed to rant. Can anyone help me transfer my DVD's to my iPod? Or direct me towards some other 3rd party programs that might work easier?

"Why would anyone want to stare at that little screen for 2+ hours... I dont think apple false advertised at ALL...
Watching a movie would just kill your battery and waste a lot of space on your iPod which was first intended for music..
Pretty common sense if you ask me."
whowhat I think that a lot of people want to watch movies on the new iPod otherwise the software that transfer DVD's to iPod's wouldn't exist. And I'm sorry but what is the point of making an iPod video if you can't watch movies on it? so that you can watch a music video for 3 minutes? or your choice of 5 tv shows or however many there are? I don't think so. I just feel that if I pay $400 for a new iPod and I spend $20 on a movie, I shouldn't have to pay an extra $30 just so I can get the software that puts DVD's onto my iPod. Obviously if I'm at home I'm not going to sit and stare at the iPod but the whole point of an iPod is that you can have all your music and all your videos on the go when you're on a plane or a train or a long car ride. I just think it's bull **** the way apple does business making everything overpriced and all I'm saying is that when I bought the new iPod I expected that I would be able to put my own movies onto the iPod. And even though when you buy a DVD you're buying the right to view it, not the rights to it, all I would be doing is viewing it on my iPod, how is that wrong?

ITunes 9.0.1 not showing my iPod Touch since I installed OS 10.5.8

Your help, please...
iTunes 9.0.1 is not showing my iPod Touch since I installed OS 10.5.8.
Your ideas are welcome, because I'm out of them.
Thank you,

It looks like part of the crash report is missing. But at the top of your message it states there's an issue with the xmlTextReader in Pages. I guess this means Pages is having trouble opening, closing or saving the document.
If this only happens with one Pages document then it may just be corrupt.
If this happens with any Pages document then I'd suggest deleting Pages, reinstalling it from DVD/Mac App Store, updating it and then trying to work with a document.
If this doesn't answer your question please provide more information eg what steps to take to cause the problem, if it happens with one or many documents, if you get any error message at all, etc.

Is ripping DVD's to an iPod Legal?

I've used Handbrake to rip my DVD movies onto my iPod Video. I would like to know if it is legal or not. If possible, please have proof.
Conditions:
-I only use it for myself
-I don't copy the movie to anyone else's iPod (even if they have the movie)
-I am not showing it to anyone
-I am not making a profit (a.k.a. I am not selling it)
-I own the DVD's I am ripping

I am sorry, let me clarify. It is illegal to copy a movie (period). This is due to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that congress passed.
That being said, the cops are not going to be knocking on your door for copying movies for your personal use. As long as you are not selling them / putting them online for download.
I rip movies and put them on my iPod to watch sometimes. I believe that I bought the DVD, I should be able to watch it were I please, on my iPod or TV. The Movie Industry begs to differ, however. The movie companies think just like the computer software companies, they believe that when you purchase a DVD you are not actually buying the movie. In fact, you are just buying a license to play the movie at your home.
You can read more about the copyright act by going here:

I hope this clarifies what I was talking about.

Tutorial: How to get DVD's on your iPod

This tutorial is intended for the serious hobbyist who already have a collection of home videos on DVD. The tutorial shows how to get home DVD's onto your iPod in professional quality (Note 1) by:
- using H.264 and AAC, and
- avoiding intermidate transcoding steps
Software required (Note 2):
- DVD Decrypter (free)
- BeLight with VOB plugin (free)
- QuickTime Pro 7.0.3 ($30) with MPEG-2 plugin ($20)
Overview:
1 - DVD -> .vob Using DVD Decrypter (minutes)
2 - .vob -> .wav Using BeLight (minutes)
3 - .vob + .wav -> .m4v Using QuickTime (hours)
Step 1:
Insert DVD and launch DVD Decrypter
First time only:
Mode - IFO
Tools - Settings - IFO Mode - On Startup Enable Stream Processing + Options File Splitting None
DVD Decrypter will scan the DVD and automatically select the longest title in the Input tab.
Often there is more information on a DVD than you want on your iPod and DVD Decrypter allows you to select the video and audio streams you want to transfer. Furthermore it combines the information into one big .vob file, allowing QuickTime and BeLight to process this information directly.
Click on the Stream Processing tab and deselect the streams you don't want. (Note 3)
Set the destination to an empty folder you will be using for preparing the iPod movie.
Click DVD -> harddisk icon and wait for DVD Decrypter to complete
Exit DVD Decrypter
Step 2:
Launch BeLight
Select the .vob file as input
Click on the WAV/PCM tab and select 16 Bits Stereo Wave.
In case the audio stream is multi channel surround sound BeLight will down mix it to 2 channels.
Click Start and wait for BeLight to finish
Exit BeLight
Step 3:
Launch QuickTime
Open the .vob file (Note 4)
Open .wav file
Edit - Select All
Edit - Copy
Back in the window with the video
Ensure play position is at the beginning of the video
Edit - Add to movie
File - Export - Movie to MPEG-4 (Note 5)
Use most recent settings, except for the first time (Note 6)
Set extension of the file name to .m4v
Click OK to start export
This will take a long time, typical 1 hour for each 10 minutes on a 3 GHz Pentium IV machine.
Finalising:
Use QuickTime to boilerplate the movie.
Window - Show Movie Properties to add info like Title, Director and Producer
View - Set Poster to set frame as poster for movie (This will show up on the icon in iTunes)
You can even choose to add a still picture to the end of the movie and use that as poster.
Add the file to iTunes and it will show up under videos.
If you are happy with this tutorial, please acknowledge by voting + on this post to give it a positive rating.
ENJOY!

Note 1:
Being on a Windows platform I have tried Videora iPod converter, PQ DVD Converter, Cucusoft and the tutorial based on DVDx and Xilisoft, but they all have one or more severe shortcomings, such as audio being out of sync, wrong proportions, mediocre picture quality.
Note 2:
DVD Decrypter can be obtained from a number of locations on the internet. Google for DVD Decrypter to obtain a suitable location for download. In this tutorial the version of the software used was v3.5.4.0.
BeSweet can also be obtained from a number of locations on the internet. Google for BeSweet to obtain a suitable location for download. In this tutorial the following software was downloaded from http://dspguru.doom9.net/
- BeSweet v1.4
- BeLight
- VOBInput.dll v1.3 plugin
QuickTime 7.0.3 can be obtained from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/win.html
The MPEG-2 playback plugin is available here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/

----------------------------------------------------------
Note 3:
If you are new to DVD's here's a short description of what you may find on a DVD.
When using Windows Explorer to examine the files on a DVD you will typically find at least the folders:
AUDIO_TS
VIDEO_TS
AUDIO_TS is normally empty but VIDEO_TS holds a number of files, all with extensions like:
.IFO - Information file
.BUP - Backup of information file
.VOB - Video Object
A VOB contains streams of video, audio and subtitles. It may even optionally hold
- multiple video streams - known as angles,
- multiple audio tracks - different languages or formats (DTS/Dolby Digital/MPEG/PCM), and
- multiple subtitles - in different languages.
There can be several titles on a DVD, named VTS_01, VTS_02, VTS_03 etc.
Since a VOB can be quite large they are split into individual files each less than 1 GB in size. E.g. if VTS_01 is more than 3 GB it is split into files named:
VTS010.VOB
VTS011.VOB
VTS012.VOB
VTS013.VOB
Note 4:
QuickTime can also read .vob files directly from the DVD, however the DVD drive will spin contantly during the export so in order to spare it it is better first to extract the DVD to the harddisk. Having the DVD moved to harddisk has additional advantages in that multiple VOB files are concatenated into one file.
Note 5:
Due to a bug in QuickTime 7.0.3 the Movie to iPod (320x240) export setting do not work when video is MPEG-2. What happens is that QuickTime will start exporting the movie and update the status until it reached 17%. At this point QuickTime will chrash. Once Apple has fixed this issue you don't have to manually set all the correct options as described in note 6. Then you can simply select the Movie to iPod (320x240) option directly.
Note 6:
Video Settings
MPEG4
H.264
Bitrate: 622 kbps (Note 7)
Pictures: Same as source
Sync: Same as pictures
320 x 240 if 4:3 or 320 x 180 if 16:9
Advanced
Deselect Main
Select Baseline
Select fastest (Highest quality setting incompatible with iPod)
Audio Settings
AAC-LC (Music)
128 kbps
Optimal
44.1 kHz
Stereo
Click OK to accept advanced settings
Click OK to accept settings
Note 7:
A video rate of 622 kbps results in 750 kbps when audio is 128 kbps and is the setting used by QuickTime when selecting the internal Movie to iPod export option. The iPod can handle 768 kbps video + 160 kbps audio so the video bitrate can be raised to say 750 kbps. However the quality difference between a video rate of 622 kbps and 750 kbps is marginal.
I have played ipod videos encoded at 750 kbps video and 160 kbps audio without experiencing problems. However be warned that if you movie contains a lot of action this will generate peaks in the video rate. Whether these peaks will cause stuttering by exceeding 768 kbps when using a setting of 750 kbps I don't know and I have not yet seen enough footage to safely recommend 750 kbps. However personally I will be using 750 kbps and report back if I experience any problems.
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).

I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite. I want to create one movie that includes these short movies that I can then either burn to a DVD or show in iMovie's Theater. How can I do it?

I have created several short (3-5 minute) movies using iMovie 10.0.6 and Yosemite. I want to combine those short movies into one movie that I can loop and burn on a DVD or show in iMovie Theater. How can I do it? The movies are now shared to iTunes.

Another easy way to fix this.
What I've noticed is that upon upgrading your projects and events to work with iMovie 10, initially it will work... Until you quit iMovie and reopen it again. Any events with hashtags will show up without the star next to the iMovie event. SO, if you happen to read this, after upgrading to iMovie 10 from its predecessor, immediately change the event name to NOT include a hashtag/pound symbol.
Otherwise, if it's too late, you can either do the above or this...
Hold down option and click on iMovie. This will prompt you Locate, Create a New Library, Cancel this window, or Choose a different library. What you want to do is create a new library, call it whatever you want to, this will only be temporary. After the program opens, it should be a blank Library. Then go to File > Open Library > iMovie Library (your original library) and proceed to change the name of your events. Quit the program. Go into your Movies folder in Finder, delete the library you temporarily created, and your back in business.

What version of itunes would show a ipod icon instead of a music icon on my ipad

I sold this ipad to a friend and now it shows she only has IOS 4.2 and therefore can not load apps. It also shows an ipod icon instead of a music icon. It the reason she is having problems the version of itunes downloaded. And is it possible her old dell computer can't load a newer version of iTunes?

The Version of Itunes is not the problem. Its the version of IOS. 4.2 is quite old.
She'll need to connect the iPad to her PC running the iTunes desktop Application. doesn't matter if its slightly older, to update to a newer version of IOS on the iPad.
Also assuming her Dell isn't really really old.. I'm sure she can run the newest version if the iTunes Desktop Application just fine. As the Requirements aren't really all that high.
Itunes 10.7 Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7
64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
250MB of available disk space

Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

Is there a way to import commercially purchased DVD Movie to my iPod?

Is there a way to import commercially purchased DVD Movie to my iPod?
I tried the "Import" function and that didn't work. Is there a function to convert and import or is there a program that might accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

I would argue that transferring the movie to another medium for *your own personal use* is covered under "fair use", but of course I am not a lawyer. The law that you may be breaking would be the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Read up:

In any case, we still can't tell you how to do it on these forums.

Is there a way to put my own DVD movies on my iPod touch?

Are these home-made movies or commercial? If commercial we cannot discuss here
For your movies, you can use handbrake to create a file (there ia an iPod Touch preset) and then import into iTunes and sync over.

Encrypting slides on dvd slide show

Hi - I'm making dvd slide shows of my photography and need to know how to make it so people can't pull the photos off the dvd.. also how to protect the dvd from being copies. Does anyone know how to do this?
thanks
jacquie
www.spectorphotography.com

spec,
sorry in advance for the folllowing tech-bla-bla....
... I'm selling these to clients and can't really sell them marked up photos...
ehm, you're posting in iDVD; iDVD is an encoding, authoring and burning app to create videoDVD, meaning: video, displaying on TV =>interlaced, 640x480, wacky NTSC (apologizes to US citizens...)…
selling PHOTOS that way??
a videoDVD from a photographer as "the map", a portfolio... sure! impressive music, sleezy transitions to some acid-jazz… all that understood & often seen... but SELLING in means of transport this way?
no way.
using tools as Toast allows to you create a video and a data partition on one single dvd-r; you could even "password protect" such a data section (not with Toast, other workflow...)...
soooo.....
stamp a FAT and glowing "this photo belongs to spectorphotography" ... ok, somethin' shorter... and forget the glow.... on every pic in SLIDESHOW; but, please, sell a HiRes version to your clients, ... besides: how shall they "grab" the pics from videoDVD? as screen-grabs??
make watermarks
create a data partition...
sorry for ranting <breathless> ;-))))
hopefully still helpful....?

Sound cuts out on DVD slide shows with music

I have tried 5 DVD slide show programs with the same result. Hewlett Packard says my hardware is OK but I have a compatability problem. My wife has the same compaint. Can you help with my computer?

Before doing anything with the computer in question, backup all the music files in question to either a flash drive or CD. Try that music, etc on an independent computer, either friend's or at a library to see if the files are good and do not exhibit the problems that are being observed on the computer in question. If they play OK elsewhere, then try the "Recovery Partition Manager" to return the computer to "like from the factory". With all the software experimenting, it could be a problem between the different software installs. Once the computer is "like from the factory" again, then try to play the music that was backed up on the "factory fresh" installation without any other software installs. Report back on how that goes.
