  • Question: How to convert dvd to mp4

    I have tried multiple products at this point to convert files and I'm tired of spending money. Most recent download is the Xilsoft Converter.
    I guess I just thought I would have one file when all the conversion was over. I do not of course. (Heck, all the file conversions don't work either...so, I'm even further confused)
    Will someone please tell me if it's possible to convert a dvd to one file (just like the ipod store has when I downloaded the Alfred Hitchcock shows--each episode is just one file). I've tried Super DVD ipod Converter--that did not download to computer properly--and I received NO support from them. The sales office would answer my emails by sending them to the support desk--the support desk never responded.
    I've tried Videroa without success. I've gone to BitComent. I just don't know what I'm doing obviously.
    What website allows us to download ipod ready movies?
    Thank you to anyone who can guide me in the right direction and tell me what I should be looking at.

    i use a program called ffmpegx, it's shareware ($15) but will work for free with a nag screen. it uses open source unix programs that you can download (the program gives you the locations). the program is awesome, open up any file format, and save to almost any format, it even has a preset for ipod video, and ipod video for tv. definitely worth checking out. i converted the whole season of clone high easily. it even has tools to fix, author, and combine files... very versatile.

  • Using an animation-friendly codec for decoding DVDs to MP4

    Hi,
    I have some purchased cartoon DVDs that I'd like to convert into MP4s for travel purposes etc. Using Handbrake has resulted in a lot of artifacts, and I wonder if using an animation-specific codec would give better results - not to mention smaller file sizes. Could someone advise me how to go about converting DVDs to MP4s using an animation codec? I own QT 7 Pro and iMovie. I also have Diva and Drop2DV.
    NB: I am aware of the copyright restrictions on recorded media and wish to re-assure the MPAA, RIAA, FACT, PRS, FBI, CIA, CPS and South-East England Water and Sewerage Workers Union that I in no way intend to distribute, freely or otherwise, any of the backups I may make as a result of receiving information on this forum.
    Cheers,

    12" iBook G4 800MHz w/ 640MB RAM (128MB built-in), 80GB HDD & Airport Extreme;   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Power Mac G4 MDD dual-867MHz, 1.25GB RAM, Sonnet Tempo SATA card; iPod Nano 8GB

    Well say you had plain vanilla DVD content from your iDVD you made. The bitrate on the animation codec is huge, and the resulting file would likely be actually larger than from the DVD file you began with. And won't conform to MPEG-4 since it is not the MPEG-4 codec anyway.
    Just use MPEG Streamclip, export to MPEG-4 and if this is for iPod press the iPod button. You need the Apple MPEG-2 component and don't forget to fix timecode errors. H264 is plenty good for this transcoding.

  • Converting .mov to MP4

    What is a good third party software that would help convert .mov to MP4 files? I have already downloaded freeware from MacX, but don't want to pay $30 for the full length download if I can't get their sampler to work.

    In  H.264 export settings go to the Multiplexer tab and switch from 3GPP to MP4.  Your output file extention should change from .3gp to .mp4

  • I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files.

    I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files. I am stumped.

    If you have the original movie files, you'd be much better converting those, otherwise try MPEGstreamclip.

  • IPod Classic 160GB film library sync problem -  trying to sync films that have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store - all other libraries sync perfect - why?

    Hello Apple and the iTunes Windows PC users community.
    I am trying to sync films that I have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store. The mp4s all appear and play successfully in my iTunes application but will not sync across to the iPod film library folder.
    For your information: I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 7 64bit machine with 500GB hard disk and 8GB of Ram in the UK.
    I have restored the iPod classic 160GB three times now to see if it was a hardware problem with no joy. Each time all the music restores properly as do the podcasts and all the items in TV programmes all appear to sync and work fine.
    I have also tried to copy films into the TV Programmes to get around it with no joy. They always go to the films section to start with. It is just the Films library that does not sync - all others work perfectly. As a last resort I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes with no joy either.
    I am technically savvy and have gone through the itunes and ipod settings but nothing appears to make a difference - This is the first time I have had to post here as I can usually solve the majority of the ipod anomilies but this one has me flummoxed.
    Has the film encoding type changed in the newest itunes update? - Has this happened to anybody else and is it a hardware, software, or operating system problem.

    Having uninstalled the current version 11.1.3.8 and loaded and older version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 I can now categorically confirm that the newest update seems to be causing the problem as the films and TV Programmes are syncing perfectly on this older version.
    If you are going to do this please dont forget to remove the  ' iTunes Library.itl' file as this stops the older versions from running as I've just found out

  • How to convert DVDs (PAL, NTSC) to mp4?

    Hello,
    I would like to convert DVDs (PAL, NTSC) to mp4.
    I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, but never used it.
    I am looking for a easy to understand information how to do it step by step.
    Maybe there are already how tos for this?
    PAL: 720 x 576, 25 fps
    NTSC: 720 x 480, 29 fps
    Thank you very much.
    Sandra

    Oh, you need to learn the program first before you can export anything...
    Get yourself a month of Lynda.com subscription and learn CS3.
    Watch the Online Video Course Premiere Pro CS3 Essential Training
    Adobe TV had a course for CS3 but they dropped that.

Which is the best video converter that can help me convert M2TS to MP4. Thanks?

  • Converting Dvd's to use on ipod 60 gig series

    how do I convert a DVD so that I can download it to my ipod? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Aloha,
    Kanakea

    What most people will tell you to use is the Videora Ipod Converter. It is used by a lot of people but since it is freeware it does have a few bugs such as converting a file and then the audio not match up with the video no matter how much you customize the settings. There is a program that costs $35 that I would highly recommend. It is called Pqdvd. The pqdvd comes in three different types, you would obviously want the ipod one.
    http://www.pqdvd.com/dvd-to-ipod-video-converter.html
    This program can convert dvd's right from your dvd drive into mp4 format for the ipod and you can customize it to your own personal quality. It works great and is worth the $35...It can also just convert any downloaded video as well. Hope this helps.

  • How to convert dvd format to HD AVI

    How do I convert DVD format to HD AVI or HD MP4 from either iMovie or iDVD applications, please help, thank you

    You need to convert them to mp4 or m4v. Handbrake is good for this. Mpegstreamclip and Format Factory(pc only) also work. they are all freeware. I'd recommend the handbrake since it also has presets for ipods and i think the ipad, and it has a queue feature....meaning if your dvd has several clips on it you can set it up to do all of them without starting each one individually.

  • How best to convert DVD to Xvid or DivX

    Hi guys,
    I really don't have any idea where to post this question - but I thought I would start here!
    I have been searching the community and have found various posts on my issue, but still remain a little confused on exactly the best way to do what I need to do (I may be completely dense as a relatively new Mac user.....).
    I need to convert DVDs to either Xvid or DivX so I can put them on a usb drive.  I have previously used Handbrake, but it seems that Handbrake no longer allows output to Xvid or DivX?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Thanks again.  Understand about the copyright issues.
    In regards to my non-commerical DVDs (personal videos and the like for my son to watch on a portable dvd player), Handbrake enabled me to output to MP4 and MKV but not Xvid or DivX.
    Are you aware of any converters that output to the formats I need to copy the files across to a usb drive (Xvid or DivX?)

  • Converting .mpg to .mp4 with Handbrake

    How does one go about converting an mpg file to an mp4 file using handbrake on Mac OS Tiger? I have a relative who needs to know. Any help is appreciated.

    How does one go about converting an mpg file to an mp4 file using handbrake on Mac OS Tiger?
    It doesn't. HandBrake only converts DVD in the drive, DVD images on HD, and/or ripped VIDEO_TS folders on the HD. Tell your relative to try iSquint (free) or PSPWare (free in unregistered mode) for conversion of MPEG1 files. MPEG StreamClip will also do the job for free, but may have more options than desired for the beginner.

  • 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.
