For those of you having trouble Ripping DVD's importing to itunes etc.

Question

I've read quite a few posts about people not being able to rip/convert or upload to itunes, I am one of these people, but managed to figure it out. No one seemed to be able to help me, so here you go guys and gals.
To put DVD's on your ipod video you'll first have to rip them to your computer. I downloaded Handbrake for mac and it works perfectly. Follow these steps and all should be good....
Once you have Handbrake downloaded, which takes round about 5 mins. Load your DVD Moive, tv series etc. Just close the DVD player if it automatically starts.
Open Handbrake, select "Detected Volume" and click open.
Once that's done, then it will take you to the main screen.
Under "Source" select which part of the DVD you want to rip.
If it's a comedy DVD then you'll want to select which episode you want to copy, 1,2,3,4....etc.
Then under "Destination" click "browse" and select where you want the ripped
video to save. I just stick them all in "Moives"
Finally at the bottom click "Picture settings" which is where some people may be having problems. When you click that, you'll see a preview screen of the DVD, and it will be quite large. On the Right reduce the size right down to 256, and you'll see the picture size is pretty much set for the size of an ipod screen.
Click close, and then hit "Rip"
Once completed as it does take a bit of time. Close Handbrake and load Itunes, click "Videos" on the left. Then "File" and click "Add to library" and you can add your copied video depending on where you've saved it
And that's pretty much it for copying DVD's
For other files such as MPEG's use Isquint, it's tops and easy.
All done

Answer 1

How can I change my file extension from m4p to something else? I have had no success being able to play or burn my purchased music. I keep getting error 2122. If I can change the format I should be able to move it to another player or at least burn it in Nero. Thanks.
