Converting DVD's to ipod

I'm sure this has been asked hundreds of times, but here it is again. How can I convert DVD's that I bought (not stealing) to my ipod. I am running a wimdows computer. I have tryed Videora, No luck! There has to be an easy way. I just want to drop in my DVD and just like a CD put it on my ipod. Am I asking for too much?

Download DVD Shrink
(http://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html). Then re-author
the DVD so it only rips the main movie (no menus or
extras), and convert it with Videora. It is not a
fast process, but it works well.
I tried this but only came close to success. After ripping with DVD Shrink (making sure to only select main title), 5 separate 'pieces' of the film were created in VOB file format. Although DVD Shrink did leave two complete copies of the movie in the destination folder, Videora did not recognize these because they were IFO files. Even after chnaging file type to all, Videora would still not transcode the complete movies files in IFO format.
Is there something simple I am missing?

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

MPEG Streamclip.
Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

Easiest/troublefree way of converting dvd's onto ipod

Or look at this:
Hopefully in answer to the many posts on “how to get various video formats onto your iPod” I have put together a summary of applications I use. I have tried a few others with varying amounts of success (some of which are free) - I have finally plumped for the software produced by Xilisoft as providing good quality video relatively affordable cost for use withPC’s and numerous MS operating systems. The link below takes you to their site which not only allows you to download trail versions of their software but also has a comprehensive set of tutorials and FAQ's for their iPod video conversion software.
I have regularly used these applications to convert various file formats to iPod friendly video. They are simple to use although frequently processor and RAM hungry:
Use Xilisoft iPod Video Converter if you want to:
[*]Convert various video file formats to MP4
[*]Convert most audio file formats to MP3
[*]Extract audio from video file and save to MP3
[*]Encode several files simultaneously
[*]Pause encoding process to run other CPU time consuming programs at any time
Supported file formats:
Video:
[*]MPEG(mpg, mpeg, dat, vob); WMV; ASF; AVI; QuichTime(mov, qt); MPEG4(mp4); 3GP; DV(dv,
dif); Real Video(rm); Animated GIF(gif - decoding only); Macromedia Flash(swf - decoding
audio only);
Audio:
[*]MPEG Audio(mp2, mp3); WMA; WAV; AU; MPEG4 Audio(m4a); Real Audio(ra); OGG; AAC; Raw
AC3(ac3); NUT Open Container Format(nut);
To convert DVD's to an iPod friendly video format:
Use Xilisoft DVD to iPod V4:
[*]Just pop the DVD in your drive select compression variables (default settings work well) and sit back!
All these products are available on a "try before you buy basis", yes there are applications for XP which are free but and may work just as well but I have converted many hours of video for my iPod without hassle using the Xilisoft products (no I don't work for them!). Check there web site HERE

How do you convert songs ON the iPod to 128kbs?

There is an option to convert new songs I put on my iPod (3rd generation, 4GB) to 128kbs, but how do I convert the songs already on it? Many of them are 256kbs and I need the space, and can't tell the difference in quality. I have a large library on my computer so I manually manage my iPod library. "Updating" the songs by dragging them individually to the iPod isn't a realistic option since it would take forever, AND to add insult to injury it even removes the song from any playlist when you do this!
Ideally I would like a button in iTunes that would convert all my songs on my iPod to 128kbs, but what's the next best thing?
null

If it matters, I should add that I have both Mac and PC, so if there's any iTunes plugin or external application available to do what I want, I will be able to run it.

How do I convert DVD to quicktime format?

We shoot HS Football games on a Canon HD camera - they are edited down to about 10 minutes each and processed as DVD. I would like to upload the video to mediafire in QT.
How do I convert? or what do I need?

Handbreak is definitely the best way. It is free and they have lots of presets to choose from. The downside is the conversion usually takes realtime unless you have a powerhouse desktop powermac.

Converting Dvd to 60G ipod????

which program is best to convert dvd's to the 60G ipod?? quick time pro? anybody heard of pqdvd? my friend has a 30G and he uses the pqdvd converter, he says everything seems fine and very easy to use. He did say that after he convert a movie to the ipod, it seems that if he wanted to forward to the next scene/chapter he has to use the fast forward button and keep pressing it doen to forward to the next scene. Sounds like the dvd menu is not available to select individual scenes. I am getting my 60G tomorrow and wanted to see which program works best to convert dvd's to theipod. Please help, thank you.

Repost in the proper forum.

Converting dvd's to ipod format

is there a product or a process that apple supports or recommends to convert dvd movies to the right format to load onto a ipod?

To answer your original question... no, there is no product that Apple support or recommends for DVD to iPod conversion.
As mentioned frequently on this forum, there are a number of pieces of software to accomplish this task, but none of them are supported by Apple.

Converting DVD movies to iPod

I have QT Pro. Can I use that to convert DVD movies that I own to my iPod? If not, is there a way to do it?

I have QT Pro. Can I use that to convert DVD movies that I own to my iPod?
Not by itself. You would sill have to use additional utilities to rip, extract, strip, and/or preconvert before it would be ready for QT Pro to handle.
If not, is there a way to do it?
I believe "You get what you pay for" and so would probably recommend a good multipurpose commercial application over a one of the current "freebies" or multi-application approches. Here are a couple you may wan to look at or trial test:

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?)
