HELP!?. ...DVDS TO IPOD...

Help!?.
Ok, so Ive heard videodora converts dvds to ipod format. Is this true? I downloaded it (videodora) and it wouldnt open. I want to make sure it really converts dvds to my ipod before I spend another 4 or 5 hours downloading it. It ***** I have dial up! So does it? All I would have to do is download it than put my dvd in my drive and it would convert it to ipod format? Please help.

yes, videora will convert your dvd into an ipod video format. i don't personally like videora, i like erightsoft's SUPER. i have found that videora doesnt sync the audio with the video. but, that may just be something i was doing wrong. well... yes, videora will convert for you.

I have a 80GB Video Ipod and I'm confused on why when I ripped a dvd using the dvd to ipod converter for mac program it split the dvd into 2 files.. Is there a way I can merge the files together so it is 1 file?.. I would apprciate any help or suggestions...
G3 Ibook.. 15, 40 and 80GB Video Ipods... G4 PowerMac Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Go to their support forum and ask-you will get a better answer from people who actually use the program.
It's not a paid for program is it?
A totally free program that rips and converts DVD's for Macs can be found here: http://handbrake.m0k.org/
Why would anyone on a Mac pay for a DVD rip program?

Help, Super DVD to ipod converter audio out of sync

Video is fine but the audion is cut and out of sync with the video, any suggestions would be appreciated

I haven't had the sync problem. Do you need to decrypt a DVD before sending it to Super DVD to iPod Converter? Also, how do you keep the same aspect ratio?

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 âURLâ blank of the vixy, then choose the format you want to convert to. Click âStartâ. For a short time, the conversion will be finished. You can click the âDownload the converted videoâ 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 âLoad DVDâ button to import your DVD
Step 2: Use âProfileâ drop-down list to choose your output format.
Step 3: Click âSettingsâ for setting your video parameters.
At last click âStartâ 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.

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.

Which DVD to iPod Method (for windows) has the highest quality?

Hi everyone! This is the first thread I have started! *pats himself on back*...
...O.K. down to buisness...
Does anyone know or tested which dvd to ipod conversion method is best? I have looked at most of the threads here about the conversion methods, and I was wondering which had the highest quality picture, quickest conversion time, and taks up the least memory. Feel free to post your opinions, but I feel tested responces are more helpful. Thx for your time...

'dvd decrypter' is phenominal. all it essentially does is takes the '.vob. file off the dvd. it takes up alot of space, but the quality is perfect. somewhere on videora.com there is a link... its free too. as for a converter, ive tryed most of them, and totally preferred videora, onyl because it converts any type of file.

DVDs on iPod

I bought a program called PQ DVD to iPod. I keep getting the same error message "error-2048 couldn't open the file .MP4 because it is not a file that QuickTime understands". This all happens after I have downloaded a DVD as a MP4 file and try to open it in QuickTime. I have downloaded the most recent version of QuickTime and the MP4 file size is less than 2GB. Tks

Greetings I'm using Mac OX X (Tiger) download a program called HandBrake form VersionTracker (Mac Side)... I haven't had any luck getting the H.264 Codec to work on my system (says my iPod can't play the format), but the MPEG-4 Video/AAC Audio with the Framerate set to 23.976 and I even set the picture setting to 320x196 (turn off aspect ratio)... For a two hour DVD you get around 900MB file, drag it to your iTunes Library and sync, works great...
Now you can use QuickTime Pro ($30.00) to convert it to but it takes 2 hours it seems to convert anything even if its a 5 minute clip... You can script it, but it still takes forever....
Let me know if I can help...

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!

theres this doftware but this can be troublesome for soem and not for others. but remember this is a 3rd party software that is not suported by apple. any and all quesitons should be directed on their website not here.all links below

How to Put DVD on iPod??

The sole purpose of getting my new iPod (I previously had a mini) was to watch movies for this summers long plane rides. Lo and behold, i'm have many difficulties putting the movie onto my 60GB white iPod. Any way/tips that can help me?

There is at least one way on each operating system (windows and mac) to rip your own dvds and then transfer them to itunes and finally put them on your ipod. A mac is the easiest of the two ways. If you have a mac, then you download a program off of the web called handbrake (just "google" >handbrake rip dvds< and its homepage should pop up. Handbrake allows you to copy and convert your dvds to ipod format. On a windows operating system the most effective way i have found to rip my dvds is quicktime pro ($25-$35). It basically does the same thing as handbrake. I, myself, have simply converted some videos, like sports shows and commercials, to ipod format using itunes and both the video and audio worked fine.
if you have any ?'s just reply back
I hope this helps!

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.

Any DVD to Ipod prog. converts final file that is only one

I checked out your link and thought it was going to answer my question but it still hasn't. I have downloaded software to convert dvd to ipod (cucsoft). I have been successful in conveting and moving to itunes but it won't update to my ipod. I tried right clicking on the video clip and converting to ipod, but it gives me the message that it is already converted, but nothing shows up in my ipod. I'm totally lost and confused. It sounded to simple and has become totally complicated. Any help would be totally appreicated.
