I watched a full DVD on my iPod!!

I used Hand Brake to import the movie Saw onto my computer in MP4 format, then I used PSPware to compress it and format it into the iPod format (I have QuickTime Pro, but it goes alot slower than PSPware)
The quality of the DVD on the iPod was excellent- by far the best quality of any of my videos. The movie (Saw [Lions Gate Films]) played perfectly. As for the watching expirience- it was excellent- no struggles to see the movie, no squinting, and actually I was able to become imersed into the story as I would by watching it on the TV. I was on the edge of my seat peering into my iPod!
Great expirience, love the new iPod.

Sean,
You may like this guide on getting from DVD to ipod. There is no need to use PSPWare.
I just tell HandBreak to save it in the iTunes Music Folder, and then i press rip, and a few minutes later i have the video in iTunes [and would be on iPod if you have auto-update]
Also if you have existing MP4 files, just change the '.mp4' into '.m4v' and drag to iTunes. Thats it!

  • Can i watch whole movies(dvds) in my ipod video?

    i would really like to watch whole movoes (dvds) in my ipod video but i don't know if its possible?

    Yes it's possible but I'm still playing with geting it to work. As I understand it, you need one peice of software to rip the DVD to your PC, and then the Videora software to convert it to the mp4 format that the iPod can read. www.videora.com (I think that's the site) has a walk through on the process there.
    My first attempt works find for the video but I didn't get sound, so I need to figure out what I did wrong.

  • Watch your DVD's On Ipod Video

    Hi everyone!
    I found a great program that allows you to put your DVD's in IPOD VIDEO format. I took my favorite movie, Oh brother where Art Thou, and can now watch it while I'm running. On a tred mill of course. The program is called Handbrake. You can download it here:
    http://handbrake.m0k.org/
    Here's a tutorial on how to use it:
    http://howto.diveintomark.org/ipod-dvd-ripping-guide/
    It's alot faster then QT although QT seems to come out better. It's hard to tell the difference though.
    I love my new Ipod. It's awesome!

    If all you want to do is trim a clip or merge a couple of clips together, QTime Pro can do it quick and easy. However, it is not a true editing tool and the result may or may not suit your purposes. Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, and even iMove would provide the best result especially if you wish to add transitions, titles, A/V fades, and/or a whole host of other things. You would, however, be much better off starting with a good video source at normal video resolution here. Most common QTime can simple be dropped into say, iMove, and the application will automatically convert it to the DV format used for editing. Once finished the output can be re-coded in your preferred format at various preset sizes or you can use the expert mode to output a custom combination.

  • Getting TV show DVDs on my ipod

    I have a problem getting my tv show dvds on my ipod, i can get regular movies to play, but not multiple shows, it picks one show and only loads it instead of the whole disk? can anyone help? I use the Videora converter and dvd decrypter.

    welcome to the board dude and congrats on gettin your ipod.
    the answer is simple. Create a play list of your favorite tv show. For example: Put all your episode of "lost" or what ever show you watch into a list and load that list on the ipod and it'll continuiosly play the videos on that list till its finished.
    hope that helps

    If you want a really organized package for ripping your dvds into .mp4 "ipod" format use the dvd Decrypter and Videora ipod conveter. They are very organized and they put you in control of the video/audio settings... And it couldn't be easier. Here are the links if you wanna give these FREE programs a shot
    Videora ipod converter - http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
    Dvd Decrypter - http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/
    ps... You need both because after ripping your dvd it becomes a .vob file..Ipod cannot read this so you must use videora to make it an .mp4 "ipod friendly" format.. Reply if problems occur please!!! Thanks...

  • Watching my Blueray/DVD movies on my iPad Air

    If your DVDs and Blurays come with a digital copy, follow the instructions provided with the disk to transfer the movie to your iPad.

  • Is there a way to transfer DVDs to itunes/ipod?

    im trying to transfer my Michael Jackson's Visions dvd to my ipod touch. i know you can buy it in itunes, but i don't want to rebuy the movie just so it can be put on my ipod touch. i wanted to see if the imovies app would work but it seems to just be for mac.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Help! I want to trasnfer my DVDs to my ipod video.

    Why is no info out there ont hsi topic. APple introduces a video iPod and I cant for th elife of me figure out how to get a plain old DVD onto my iPod.
    Can anyone explain this in English for me? Dont get fancy with too many jargon words.
    Thanks. Basic user here.

    This is the iMovie discussion. iMovie is a Mac only video editing application, so you won't find many Windows users here. Try the iPod for Windows discussion instead.

  • My Mac thinks blank CDs are full DVDs. Why?

    My PowerMac G5 at work thinks every blank CD-R I put into it is a full DVD. The first time it responded with "There are no volumes accessible by a Macintosh" in the error dialog. When I tried other discs I get no error, no "You have inserted a blank disc" message, and the disc does not mount in the Finder. When I look at them in Disk Utility, it thinks they are DVD discs with Ok available. Any thoughts on how I can fix this? Recently I installed DVD2OneX to make copies of some of my DVD's. Might that have something to do with it?
    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

  • How do I get a DVD to my Ipod?

    I am trying to take a purchased DVD and put it on my Ipod Video. I was told at the store I purchased it at, that this was possible.
    Hooked my DVD player up to a video bridge via Firewire so I could play it and "record" in my QT7 Pro. Well, I have since found out that the "record" feature isn't available in the windows version -- only mac. I am at a loss.
    What format does the video have to be in to be able to pull it up and export it for the Ipod?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Legally, you can't get a DVD onto your iPod because all movies are copyright protected. The only way to get that movie on your iPod is to purchase it on iTunes. Most movies on iTunes are around $10. And iTunes is unable to copy DVD movies because Apple knows that copying DVD movies is illegal. Although there is DVD copying software that you can use at your own risk, although such software does have its limitations because the copyright protection that's built-in to DVD's is getting better all the time. For example, if you use the program Handbreak to copy a movie that you rented from RedBox the copy you made will be choppy and out of order. Also, movie studios are working to get that software outlawed because they are losing money. And that software is why you can't return a DVD back to the store. So, you're stuck unless you don't mind buying movies and TV shows from iTunes. iTunes content is better than DVDs because you can copy it to hard drives and flash drives for backup and it won't get fingerprints and scratches on it like DVDs, which is why Apple is moving away from optical discs;for example iTunes and the Mac App Store.
