Dvds to ipod and software

When trying to convert dvds to ipod I can't find any software thats free that let's you convert it. But thats okay because dvds take up A LOT of freakin memory, downloading movies on limewire seems to work better cuz theyre smaller but they take like ten hours to download. So does anyone know of a software that is free that downloads them faster? (Also I know I mentioned limewire and this might be a little off topic. I already know this, so if your about to post about that and not answer the question then don't post cuz I just don't care in the least bit.)

Well this question really has nothing to do with the ipod but I will try to help anyways. When you download things off limewire the speed that it downloads at depends on your connection to the internet and the person you are downloading it off of's connection to the internet. Also the more people that are sharing that file should help increase the download speed.
You could also look at a program called Morphius. Does basically the same thing but I prefer it over limewire. Your may have better results with it.
And just incase you change your mind about putting the video on the ipod, download a program called videora ipod converter to convert the videos to the format ipod will play. Its free and works fine for me. Just search for it in google.
Hope that helped some.

  • DVD to ipod and FCP to Ipod

    what free software can i use on my mac to rip dvds to an ipod format and then how do i get them onto my ipod. Anyone have links to such software. Also how can i place movies that i have edited in FCP onto my ipod. Thanks

    Also how can i place movies that i have edited in FCP onto my ipod.
    Edited material can be exported/shared directly to iPod compatible format using "Movie to iPod", "Movie to MPEG-4", and/or "Movie to QT Movie" options in iMovie, FCE, or FCP. Self-contained or reference files created by iMovie, FCE, or FCP can be indirectly converted to iPod compatible applications by QT Pro, iTunes, MPEG Streamclip, iSquint, etc.

  • What DVD to iPod software are you using?

    I know this topic has probably been beat to death, but I'm just curious. BTW, I did a search for my questions as well!
    I've tried PQ DVD to iPod and Super DVD to iPod and they both have + and - about them. It seems like the PQ software is a little easier to use and you can actually control the DVD where with the Super software you can't. The Super doesn't have the progress bar like the PQ one and I find that very helpfull! Also with the PQ one you can actually control the DVD menu through this software and can crop the DVD. I did find that the Super one had a better picture without changing any settings. That seems like the determing factor for me. I did change some of the setting on the PQ one and it really didn't get any better. If someone could help me with these settings, it would definately make my decision easier. Basically I like the PQ one better if I could only get better resolution. Sometimes it just isn't all that clear as far as the pixels are concerned or maybe I'm just asking for too much with this iPod?
    I'm ready to buy some type of DVD to iPod software so what exactly do I have to change to get the resolution better on each software?
    Thanks!

    No I haven't tried those and I'm sure there are many different ways to go about it. I'm really not interested in trying alot of different softwares, I would just rather find one and stick to it and learn as much as I can about how to use it. I'm going to convert a few more DVD's and see if I have the same problems with the pixels. I currently have two different comedian DVD's installed in my 60gb with the same software, one looks very good and the other is where you can see the pixels in the backround. It may just be the backround on the stage he is on because I don't have that problem with the other DVD. It may also be the DVD I'm sure.

  • Converting DVD's from PQ DVD to ipod

    I have PQ DVD to ipod and i don't know how to get it to iTunes can anybody help

    I've been doing it successfully for a while now. I have PQ set so that the destrination folder is My Videos.(I'm using PC by the way). Once you copy the file/dvd, PQ will automatically dump the file into My Videos. Following that, I use Add Folder from the itunes dropdown menu and tell it to add the my videos folder; itunes then adds the new files you convereted. update the Pod and you're done.
    Hope this helps.

  • BEST DVD TO IPOD SOFTWARE

    Does anyone have an opinion on the best DVD to Ipod software to purchase? I've tried the trial versions of PQDVD, Xilisoft, and Cucusoft and have found problems and numerous differences with those. If there are any others out there please let me know that may be better/easier/higher quality, etc.. Also, I am trying to convert home movies that are on DVD-R's, it seems as though PQDVD can sometimes convert them, but they freeze up or don't show up at all on the others. A regular DVD was no problem on any of them. Thanks!

    thanx alot.

    You want to copy files from your iMac to the PC's DVD drive? If so I don't think that woudl work. The purpose of Remote Disc in OS X is to provide a method for Macs without DVD drives to install software that is only available on CD or DVD from a machine with a DVD drive. If you want to write files from your iMac to DVD then you will need to purchase a USB DVD drive and connect it to your iMac.

    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?.

  • When I plug in my iPod and it syncs it says that a bunch of my apps cannot be loaded because my iPod does not have the latest software to support them, but I have done all of the iPod software updates and the same apps were working fine just weeks ago...?

    I plug in my iPod to charge from my computer and it syncs with my iTunes, but I've been getting a message that a list of 13 of my apps cannot be loaded onto my iPod because it doesn't have the latest software to support them. I have done all the software updates for my iPod and iTunes says it is completed up-to-date. Do I need to delete the apps and redownload them or what?
    Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

    ok well like lllaass said, most apps require 4.3 or later iOS software. chances are since the apps worked before, the apps themselves got updated and will no longer work with your software version.

  • Things and Software to avoid when authoring for DVD-V

    This one is always in the earlier, 1.X FAQ, but is so important it should be repeated here too.
    There have been so many posts along the line of "I cannot burn my DVD in Encore, but Nero works well" that I thought I should share this info with you all.
    As we know, DVD Authoring is very dependant on timing, and on not having other apps getting in the way & locking up the burners, So here is a list of software that is known to interfere with GEAR drivers. It is a raging cert that this also applies here, as all authoring apps are the same sort of thing.
    These 3rd party apps are junk software, to be quite blunt (I expect to get flamed over this, but I cannot help the truth), and should never be installed on an Authoring system.
    Anyway, here is the current list of 
    i known problem software.
    1. B's Clip: This package will load a packet-writing software that will constantly talk to your CD/DVD writer, and can cause a number of issues while trying to write a disc. Disabling this software is not enough, as a portion of this package is always running after you start windows. You will need to uninstall it in Add/Remove programs, then reboot to remove it. For more information, visit the B's website at http://www.bhacorp.com.
    2. Direct CD or Drag to Disk: These are applications from Easy CD Creator from Roxio. This package will load a packet-writing software that will constantly talk to your CD/DVD writer, and can cause a number of issues while trying to write a disc. Disabling this software is not enough, as a portion of this package is always running after you start windows. To remove them you need to do to Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel. There you can select Easy CD Creator to change, not remove. Then you must click next until it gives you the option to modify. Then either Direct CD or Drag to Disk should be selected and changed to "make this option not available". Then click next and while the program may look like it is installing, it is removing those options. One thing to remember is that both Direct CD and Drag to Disk will not be installed at the same time. For more information, please visit Roxio's website at http://www.roxio.com/en/support.index.jhtml
    3. GoBack: backup software that constantly runs in the background (Terminate and Stay Ready) this needs not only to be turned off, but disabled. Unfortunately, this may cause some restore points to vanish, but it will free up a lot of hard drive space. For more information visit Symantec's web site for GoBack at http://www.symantec.com/goback/index.html 
    4. DLA: Also HP-DLA, Veritas DLA, and others. DLA stands for Disk Letter Assignment. This package will load a packet-writing software that will constantly talk to your CD/DVD writer, and can cause a number of issues while trying to write a disc. Disabling this software is not enough, as a portion of this package is always running after you start windows. You will need to uninstall it in Add/Remove programs, then reboot to remove it.
    5. InCD: This is packet writing software that comes bundled with Ahead Nero Burning Rom. This package will load a packet-writing software that will constantly talk to your CD/DVD writer, and can cause a number of issues while trying to write a disc. Disabling this software is not enough, as a portion of this package is always running after you start windows. You will need to uninstall it in Add/Remove programs, then reboot to remove it. For more information go to Nero's website at http://www.nero.com/en/
    6. Interactual Player and PC Friendly Player: These programs are DVD software viewers that often come on DVD movie discs, and will try to install themselves everytime you watch a movie on your computer. Please make sure to NOT let these install. Both programs interfere with all DVD Authoring software and should be un-installed from Add or Remove programs in control panel when found. In some cases, you will need to uninstall and reinstall your software to restore functionality after removing one of these. For more information about both players, visit http://player.interactual.com/ 
    7. McAfee Anti-Virus: This is anti-virus software that when running, can cause errors. It needs to be disabled by right clicking on the icon in the lower right side of the task bar. Your DVD Authoring software then needs to be restarted. Whenever you are using your software, McAfee needs to be disabled to ensure unrestricted access to your drive. For more info go to McAfee's website at http://us.mcafee.com/default.asp 
    8. Norton Anti-Virus: This is anti-virus software that when running, can cause errors. It needs to be disabled by right clicking on the icon in the lower right side of the task bar and the automatic updates should be disabled. Your DVD software then needs to be restarted. Whenever you are using your software, Norton needs to be disabled to ensure unrestricted access to your drive. The Norton Website is http://www.symantec.com/ 
    9. StopZilla: StopZilla can hinder required portions of various installers, causing the software to fail. Please completely disable StopZilla, then install your software. Once our software is installed, you may safely enable it again. If you have any difficulty using your software at a later time, you may need to disable StopZilla before going to use your software. Uninstallation is not required. 
    10. MyStorageGuard: This backup software can hinder certain required files from being copied during the installation. Please disable this program before installing , and have it disabled any time you go to use your DVD Authoring software. Uninstallation is not required. 
    11. Napster 2.0: This software includes some basic burning software that can cause burning problems if it is running. You will need to close this program completely before trying to use DVD Authoring software. In some rare cases, you will need to completely uninstall this package to attain full reliability, so if disabling does not solve your issue, please try uninstalling this software, and try again. 
    12. Easy CD Creator 4.x: Due to the age of this package, it is no longer updated by the authors. There are bugs present in this older system that will cause NUMEROUS problems on your machine. Please Uninstall completely, and consider either the new 6.x version from Roxio ( http://www.roxio.com ) or Nero 6.x ( http://www.nero.com ). These packages, installed without the Packet Writing software (DirectCD/Drag to Disk/InCD), all work very well with DVD Authoring software. 
    13. Spyware and Adware - some programs can install other software that can be damaging to your Operating System. Please scan for these programs with a Spyware utility. We recommend Ad-Aware, available freely at http://www.lavasoftusa.com 
    14. Disable the Windows XP packet writing utility. To do so, go to My Computer, Right click oon your DVD burner, choose Properties. Find the "Recording" tab. Uncheck "Enable CD recording on this drive" While you are there, switch off all AutoRun options too. It means going through each option and then selecting "Take No Action" as the default option. AutoRun will "poll" the drive every few minutes to look for a new disc, and if it finds one it will try to open it. 
    15. Symantec PCAnywhere has been reported to cause problems with Encore as the awvid5.dll file it installs is a video driver designed to facilitate the transfer of screen information from one computer to another. Sadly, this causes a conflict which can cause XP to restart - or give a bluescreen if the "Automatically restart" option has been unticked, giving a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA stop condition.
    Another crash can be reproduced by
    a) Open a project
    b) Add an MPEG file and associated WAV file as assets
    c) Link the MPEG file to a menu button by dragging
    d) Encore creates a Timeline for the MPEG file automatically
    e) Open the new Timeline
    f) Drag the MPEG's WAV file into the timeline's audio track
    g) Close the Timeline
    h) Repeat (b)-(d)
    i) When the new Timeline is double-clicked, XP restarts
    The 
    i only
    solution found so far is to uninstall PCAnywhere, then all returns to normal.
    16. It has also been found that either Efax or Winfax software installed to the system can cause the dreaded "Visual C++ Runtime Error" which will crash Encore. Microsoft support have confirmed that if you see this error, you need a hotfix KB884538, from www.microsoft.com in the support area.
    Install the hotfix, and if the error remains, check for either of these fax programs. If either are present, remove them, reboot and all should now work.
    17. Roxio Easy CD Creator - General issues.
    Firstly, when uninstalling any Roxio application it is best to do this from the "Add Remove Programs" applet in Control Panel, as usual. However - this will NOT remove all Roxio's tentacles from your system. To be sure all is definitely removed, you need to visit 
    http://www.microadvantage.net/downloads/zapper60.zip
    and run this. When you are done, you can then reboot and the evil Roxio will finally be gone.
    Another common issue with Roxio is when Nero also co-exists on the same system. The two 
    i loathe
    each other and are apparently incapable of co-existing.
    If you have noth these installed there is an additional set of stuff to go through. Remove Roxio first, then reboot, then remove Nero completely beginning by uninstalling from "Add Remove Programs" and then we also need to get rid of all the various tendrils it has also addeed to the system using the following tools:
    (You must use all 3 of Nero's Clean tools in order to do the job correctly.)
    They can all be found here:
    http://www.nero.com/us/631940828445001.htm
    1. General Clean tool
    2. Registry cleaner and driver cleaner
    3. InCD Clean tool
    When you reinstall Nero 6.6 OR Neros new 7 Ultra Edition, DO NOT install InCD OR if you do, turn it off in startup under msconfig (better to not install it) 
    18 - FindSounds Palette 
    This is a tool designed to help you find SFX on your drives, and it seems to prevent Encore from importing M2V files for some reason, and should be uninstalled if present.
    To uninstall this, do the following steps:
    Uninstall "Find Sounds Palette" (FS Palette).
    Delete the two registry key folders for "Comparisonics".
    Uninstall Encore CS3.
    Delete Registry Keys for Encore.
    Restart.
    Install Encore CS3.
    Install Encore 3.0.1 update.
    Restart.
    19 - Quicken
    It has been reported that if you back up your Quicken files to CD, then Quicken sets up your DVD burner for CD DLA through the built-in Windows burning facility.  This assignment recurs each time your system is restarted.  When this happens, Encore will see your burner as a CD burner only.  You'll have to manually disable this start-up assignment to get Encore to see your burner as a DVD burner again.
    Additionally, it is a good idea to disable Autorun for your burner, preferably from the registry. While this will not prevent anything polling the drive from the OS to try & "helpfully" check for freshly inserted media, it will prevent sneaky DRM applications from installing themselves to your system just by having the disc inserted. As well as the registry hack required, there are other methods of stopping this described at
    http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article03-018
    To do the registry hack, perform the following:
    * Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
    * Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom.
    * Double-click the Autorun value, and type 0 for its value. (If it's not there, create it by selecting Edit -> New -> DWORD Value, and typing "Autorun" for its name.)
    * You may have to log out and then log back in for this change to take effect.
    * Note: With this solution, Windows will no longer be notified when you insert a new CD. To make sure the correct icon and title for the current CD are displayed in My Computer and Explorer, press F5 to refresh the window. 
    If you perform any of these changes, you may need to uninstall your software, then re-install to fix any damage left. If you find some of these packages, please shut down and reboot twice to ensure that the last pieces of the conflicting software are completely removed.

    You're lucky then Steve.
    Roxio is one of those apps that usually doesn't play nice with any other burning software at all.
    I use GEAR Pro Mastering Edition.
    They also do a cheaper version called GEAR Video - but be aware that this installs DivX as well - although I have to say that on one of our systems running Adobe 1.5 versions of Encore & Premiere Pro, it is causing no conflicts at all. But there have definitely been major problems with DivX codecs and EncoreDVD. Perhaps it is to do with where they come from, perhaps I just got lucky in this case.
    It might be worth a trial version though - although if you have the budget, and do a LOT of DVD, then GEAR Pro Mastering Edition is an invaluable tool I have found.

  • How to convert video and dvd for iPod

    1. Download, install and run PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter. It can convert from DVD, Tivo, DivX, MPEG, WMV, AVI, RealMedia and many more to iPod Video.
    (PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter Download)
    2. Click "Open ..." button and choose a video file or DVD disc to open. Wait for the movie to start playing in the preview window.
    3. Based on the aspect ration of the video source PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter will choose the best resolution for the output iPod video. Nevertheless you can select a resolution of your choice to stretch/squash the picture. Alternatively, you can choose a Crop Mode to cut unimportant parts of the video (like top/bottom black bars or subtitles).
    You can also adjust the desired quality to reduce the output size of the movie.
    In the preview window you will see what the resulting movie will look like.
    When you have set the desired settings simple click on the "Record it" button to convert the video/DVD.
    Depending on the settings a 60 minutes video is converted on average for 15 minutes.
    4. When the process finishes you can test the recorded video file on your PC using QuickTime to see if it works well.
    Then launch iTunes, add the recorded file into the library and update iPod (under iTunes' File menu). And have a nice time!
    Additional Settings
    1. Video Settings
    Video Frame Rate
    Known as Frame Per Second (FPS). It refers to the number of pictures displayed in 1 second in order to form continuous motions. The default frame rate is 15 fps. You may choose 24fps to get more continuos motions.
    When selecting higher fps, increase the movie quality and size a little. This is because more frames need some amount of additional motion data to be stored.
    Brightness Level
    Increase the level to make video appear brighter on your iPod screen. The default is level 0 (No brightness change from the original video).
    2. Audio Options
    Audio Quality
    There are 6 audio quality modes to choose: 32kbps Mono, 48kbps Mono, 48Kbps Stereo, 64Kbps Stereo, 96Kbps Stereo, 128Kbps Stereo.
    Audio Bitrate (in Kbits per second)
    Audio bitrate refers to how many data storage is allocated to store audio signals. The higher audio
    bitrate, the better audio quality.
    Audio Volume
    You can change output audio volume in "Output Settings" dialog. The default volume level is 5 (original volume).
    Stereo to Mono
    When the output audio is set to Mono, you can choose which stereo channel (of input source) to be copied into the Mono channel (output). It is useful for some video sources (e.g. VCD) which use the left, right channels for different languages or for karaoke.
    3. DVD subtitle(subpicture), language
    It is recommended to use the native DVD menu in the preview panel to set subtitle(subpicture) and language. (Click "DVD menu" button on the right to show native DVD menu in the preview panel) You may also change the subtitle(subpicture), language in the program's Options menu, but there are some DVDs that require the change must be made in the native DVD menu instead of the program's menu.
