Ipod Video-getting DVDs onto Ipod video

i got a ipod video for christmas and i have some dvd's i would like to put on my ipod. my friends say i have to get some kind of converter. I have been looking around on the internet and i have no clue what im doing. from what i've seen, these converters are not free it looks like. Are there any out there that are free? if so, are they easy to understand for someone like me who is a newbie?

  • What do you think is the best way to get DVDs onto your iPod?

    I haven't recieved my video iPod yet, its coming in the mail, but I'd like to be ready when I get it. In your opinion, what is the best way to get DVDs onto your iPod?
    I have Windows, so Handbreak doesn't work.
    I've tried videora, but its taking ages...
    Thanks!
    *Just noticed you can edit*
    I would also like to add that I would perfer that it was free...
    Videora is driving me up a wall... It still has 3 hours to convert this thing its been going for 10 min and its still at 0%

    Depending on the specs of your computer, time taken to convert DVD's to an iPod-playable format can vary. On my computer (see below), it takes about 10 hours to convert a 2-hour DVD to the iPod format, using Videora.
    So, due to the extremely large size of the DVD rip, it'll take a while to convert it, regardless of how fast or slow your system is.

  • Trying to get cd onto ipod touch but snching options are greyed out - I've opted to manually manage.

    I'm trying to get CD onto ipod touch. copied it into ITunes library but when I get to synching 'selected playlists etc' all options are greyed out.  If I try and clink sync in bottom right hand corner it gives me warning msg that everything already on ipod will be deleted and I don't want that.  any ideas?

    Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions on your iPod Touch and make sure that restrictions for app installations are turned off.

  • How to get a dvd onto a video iPod

    i have downloaded a couple of softwares, but when i ty to open them, it says there is nothing to open to. Help!!!

    Hello,
    what I can say is, that Handbrake workes absolutely fantastic, whether with self-made DVD's or standard ones.
    Very simple, the only thing which went wrong the first time I used it is the picture size.
    Ipod only accepts 320 times whatever the program says.
    320 is the issue, you have to stick with that.
    there is a good documentation at:

    After I've read that, it worked like a charm.
    Regards

  • Transferring videos from DVDs onto the iPod

    Is it possible to transfer a Movie from a DVD onto my iPod. If so, how? I have tried, but it doesn't work. Do I need to change the type of file that the video is? I have a 5th Generation iPod Video 30GB, but I will be getting an iPod classic 80GB soon.

    I am afraid copying a movie DVD to iTunes would be illegal if you look at the copyright notice on the DVD. It would involve breaking the copy protection and it is against the forum terms of use to discuss this.

  • Help putting dvd onto ipod video

    how do i put dvd onto an ipod video
    someone please help me

    first get dvd shrink off of google and then get the ipod videora convertor
    1 open the dvd using dvd shrink go to the preferences and turn it off from splitting the files into 1 gb parts if u dont then it will split the files which u dont want to happen
    2 then go to reauthor at the top of the window and go to the dvd drive and then double click the main movie it should move to the other column then click back up at the top of the window pick the spot to back up to
    3 after backing up go to the folder then go to the VOB file and the easiest way to do it is to put t on your desktop
    4 open the convertor and go to convert then go to transcode video then use browser to find the video
    5 rename the video and add it to i tunes done

  • Dvd ripping to put home dvds onto ipod video

    ok so i was told to use "decrypter" and so i went to google and typed it in and it came up with a few results
    the first one was:
    DVD Decrypter
    so i click on that and this is what it says:
    "This software is no longer available, this page is stored for archival puposes only.
    On 24th of November, 2005, Macrovision Europe contacted AfterDawn.com, notifying us that they have acquired full rights to the DVD Decrypter software and have changed its licensing terms. Effective immediately, they have decided to withdraw all distribution rights from all third party companies, including AfterDawn.com. Thus, distributing DVD Decrypter is now as illegal as it would be to distribute cracked copies of Windows operating system or pirated copies of games."
    ok so first off what does my trying to put dvds on my ipod have to do with pirated movies and games?
    anyways
    the second result was:
    DVD Fab Decrypter
    so i click on that and this is what it says:
    "This software is no longer available, this page is stored for archival puposes only.
    On 1st of January, 2006, a new copyright legislation came into force in Finland that made it illegal to distribute tools that allow circumvention of technical copy protections. The legislation was approved by Finnish parliament and was based on European Union Copyright Directive, a law that each EU member state has to implement to their national legislations"
    So basically how the heck do i get dvds on my ipod using decrypter if it's now illegal to use it?

    Cyndi,
    The other poster is nothing more than a spammer, who has already been kicked off of these groups under another name, who only posts to spam this product (click on his/her/its name to see all the "help" it has offered other people only relating to this product). Any product that has to spam to get their product sold, should be given a cautious eye.

  • Videos converted to MP4: can't get them onto iPod

    I have converted videos from YouTube via tubeget.com to a mp4 format using my PC.  They appear in the Documents --> Videos folder on the PC, a Windows Media program. 
    I can see the files in iTunes when I try to add them to iTunes using the “Add file to Library” option under the File menu in iTunes. But when I click on the mp4 file I can’t get it to transfer over to iTunes.  That is, when I click on the file via “add to Library”, the file doesn’t appear under Videos in iTunes.  And thus, of course, I can’t get the videos into my Videos folder on my iPod Classic. 
    The iPod is supposed to be a 5th generation.  I bought it used from a reputable seller. It readily accepts music videos downloaded from the iTunes store, and it readily accepted a transfer of music files from iTunes to the device.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Jay

    If you don't see the videos in iTunes, that would be the initial problem, and that part is not related to the iPod. 
    You can use that Add to Library command from the menu bar, but it's sometimes more "informative" if you do it this way...
    First, create a new playlist, so that it appears in the iTunes sidebar.  If the iTunes sidebar is not visible along left side of window, from the menu bar under View, select Show Sidebar.  If you have a lot of playlists already, you can start its name with an underscore (_) symbol, and it will appear at or near the top.  Select that playlist in the sidebar, so that its content list is shown to me right (currently empty).
    Then, open a Windows Explorer window that shows the video files.  Drag one of the video files from that window, and drop it on the playlist (on the currently empty list).  If that video file is compatible with iTunes (iTunes can play it), it gets imported, and it appears on the playlist.  It also appears in the iTunes library, under Movies.  Using a playlist as the place to "drag it to" just makes it easier to spot.  If it works for one, drag the other videos you want to add, to the same playlist.  On the playlist, you can edit the names as needed, and add other info such as Artist.  Then try adding them to the iPod. 
    NOTE:  You can select multiple files to add at the same time and drag them all at once.  You can also select the folder that contains the files to add, and drag that folder to the iTunes window.
    If the video file format is somehow not compatible with iTunes, you will not able to drag them to the iTunes window.  Well, you can drag them there, but they will not get imported nor appear on the playlist.  And that would be the problem to solve first.
    Either way, you'll be a step closer to figuring out the cause of this problem.

  • 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.

  • Personal video on dvd to iPod

    I converted a VHS tape to a DVD using a Magnavox ZV450MW8A (Digital Video Disc Recorder and Video Cassette Recorder with Digital Tuner)and would like to put it on our iPod..Is this possible. We are using the Mac OS 10.4.

    First of all, your iPod must be capable of playing video. So that would be 5th gen video (full-size) iPod or later, 3rd gen iPod nano or later, or iPod touch.
    If you have a video-capable iPod, iPods can play H.264 or MPEG-4 format video files up to 640x480 resolution. If the video can be played in iTunes, but you are not able to transfer it to the iPod, you may be able to use the command
    iTunes menu > Advanced > Create iPod or iPhone Version
    and convert the video to the format playable on the iPod.

  • MSN videos wont go onto iPod

    Try this...

    Then take that converted file and drag it into iTunes. Right click the video and go to convert selection for iPod.
    That second converted video should transfer to iPod.
