Putting store bought dvd's on your ipod

Is it possible to put a store bought DVD on your ipod? If so how can you do it, I am having a hard time.

In the US it is illegal to break the encryption on DVD's.
If you had a Mac- Handbrake would be the answer. It rips and reencodes the DVD in one step and is free.
Under windows- I suppose you could look for 2 seperate programs, one to break the encryption and rip it to your hard drive and a second one to convert it. I believe they have paid for programs that do it.

  • Can you download reguluar store bough dvd's to your ipod?

    Like everyone, I have tons of dvd's. can i download them onto my ipod so that i can watch movies during plane flights? If you have any idea how to do that please post. Also if you know of any site that might be selling (legally!!) full length movies that i can put on my ipod please tell.

    Technically speaking, there is no 100% legal way in the U.S. to put commercial DVDs on your iPod.
    Any way you look at it, at some point you'll need to circumvent the encryption on a DVD to convert it for iPod use.
    Doing so is a violation of the Digital Milennium Copyright Act. That's one point of view.
    Another point of view is that since you own the DVD... Fair Use would allow you to make a backup copy of it, or convert it to another format for your own viewing method, as long as you're not distributing it, or selling it.
    The debate between fair use and DMCA violations has been discussed in great detail in these forums. If you search previous posts, you should find tons of detailed information on this topic.

  • Is theRe a. Way to put my own dvd movies on my iPod youch

    Is there a way to put my own DVD movies on my iPod touch?

    Are these home-made movies or commercial? If commercial we cannot discuss here
    For your movies, you can use handbrake to create a file (there ia an iPod Touch preset) and then import into iTunes and sync over.

  • Tutorial: How to get DVD's on your iPod

    This tutorial is intended for the serious hobbyist who already have a collection of home videos on DVD. The tutorial shows how to get home DVD's onto your iPod in professional quality (Note 1) by:
    - using H.264 and AAC, and
    - avoiding intermidate transcoding steps
    Software required (Note 2):
    - DVD Decrypter (free)
    - BeLight with VOB plugin (free)
    - QuickTime Pro 7.0.3 ($30) with MPEG-2 plugin ($20)
    Overview:
    1 - DVD -> .vob Using DVD Decrypter (minutes)
    2 - .vob -> .wav Using BeLight (minutes)
    3 - .vob + .wav -> .m4v Using QuickTime (hours)
    Step 1:
    Insert DVD and launch DVD Decrypter
    First time only:
    Mode - IFO
    Tools - Settings - IFO Mode - On Startup Enable Stream Processing + Options File Splitting None
    DVD Decrypter will scan the DVD and automatically select the longest title in the Input tab.
    Often there is more information on a DVD than you want on your iPod and DVD Decrypter allows you to select the video and audio streams you want to transfer. Furthermore it combines the information into one big .vob file, allowing QuickTime and BeLight to process this information directly.
    Click on the Stream Processing tab and deselect the streams you don't want. (Note 3)
    Set the destination to an empty folder you will be using for preparing the iPod movie.
    Click DVD -> harddisk icon and wait for DVD Decrypter to complete
    Exit DVD Decrypter
    Step 2:
    Launch BeLight
    Select the .vob file as input
    Click on the WAV/PCM tab and select 16 Bits Stereo Wave.
    In case the audio stream is multi channel surround sound BeLight will down mix it to 2 channels.
    Click Start and wait for BeLight to finish
    Exit BeLight
    Step 3:
    Launch QuickTime
    Open the .vob file (Note 4)
    Open .wav file
    Edit - Select All
    Edit - Copy
    Back in the window with the video
    Ensure play position is at the beginning of the video
    Edit - Add to movie
    File - Export - Movie to MPEG-4 (Note 5)
    Use most recent settings, except for the first time (Note 6)
    Set extension of the file name to .m4v
    Click OK to start export
    This will take a long time, typical 1 hour for each 10 minutes on a 3 GHz Pentium IV machine.
    Finalising:
    Use QuickTime to boilerplate the movie.
    Window - Show Movie Properties to add info like Title, Director and Producer
    View - Set Poster to set frame as poster for movie (This will show up on the icon in iTunes)
    You can even choose to add a still picture to the end of the movie and use that as poster.
    Add the file to iTunes and it will show up under videos.

    ENJOY!

    Note 1:
    Being on a Windows platform I have tried Videora iPod converter, PQ DVD Converter, Cucusoft and the tutorial based on DVDx and Xilisoft, but they all have one or more severe shortcomings, such as audio being out of sync, wrong proportions, mediocre picture quality.
    Note 2:
    DVD Decrypter can be obtained from a number of locations on the internet. Google for DVD Decrypter to obtain a suitable location for download. In this tutorial the version of the software used was v3.5.4.0.
    BeSweet can also be obtained from a number of locations on the internet. Google for BeSweet to obtain a suitable location for download. In this tutorial the following software was downloaded from http://dspguru.doom9.net/
    - BeSweet v1.4
    - BeLight
    - VOBInput.dll v1.3 plugin
    QuickTime 7.0.3 can be obtained from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/win.html
    The MPEG-2 playback plugin is available here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/

    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Note 3:
    If you are new to DVD's here's a short description of what you may find on a DVD.
    When using Windows Explorer to examine the files on a DVD you will typically find at least the folders:
    AUDIO_TS
    VIDEO_TS
    AUDIO_TS is normally empty but VIDEO_TS holds a number of files, all with extensions like:
    .IFO - Information file
    .BUP - Backup of information file
    .VOB - Video Object
    A VOB contains streams of video, audio and subtitles. It may even optionally hold
    - multiple video streams - known as angles,
    - multiple audio tracks - different languages or formats (DTS/Dolby Digital/MPEG/PCM), and
    - multiple subtitles - in different languages.
    There can be several titles on a DVD, named VTS_01, VTS_02, VTS_03 etc.
    Since a VOB can be quite large they are split into individual files each less than 1 GB in size. E.g. if VTS_01 is more than 3 GB it is split into files named:
    VTS010.VOB
    VTS011.VOB
    VTS012.VOB
    VTS013.VOB
    Note 4:
    QuickTime can also read .vob files directly from the DVD, however the DVD drive will spin contantly during the export so in order to spare it it is better first to extract the DVD to the harddisk. Having the DVD moved to harddisk has additional advantages in that multiple VOB files are concatenated into one file.
    Note 5:
    Due to a bug in QuickTime 7.0.3 the Movie to iPod (320x240) export setting do not work when video is MPEG-2. What happens is that QuickTime will start exporting the movie and update the status until it reached 17%. At this point QuickTime will chrash. Once Apple has fixed this issue you don't have to manually set all the correct options as described in note 6. Then you can simply select the Movie to iPod (320x240) option directly.
    Note 6:
    Video Settings
    MPEG4
    H.264
    Bitrate: 622 kbps (Note 7)
    Pictures: Same as source
    Sync: Same as pictures
    320 x 240 if 4:3 or 320 x 180 if 16:9
    Advanced
    Deselect Main
    Select Baseline
    Select fastest (Highest quality setting incompatible with iPod)
    Audio Settings
    AAC-LC (Music)
    128 kbps
    Optimal
    44.1 kHz
    Stereo
    Click OK to accept advanced settings
    Click OK to accept settings
    Note 7:
    A video rate of 622 kbps results in 750 kbps when audio is 128 kbps and is the setting used by QuickTime when selecting the internal Movie to iPod export option. The iPod can handle 768 kbps video + 160 kbps audio so the video bitrate can be raised to say 750 kbps. However the quality difference between a video rate of 622 kbps and 750 kbps is marginal.
    I have played ipod videos encoded at 750 kbps video and 160 kbps audio without experiencing problems. However be warned that if you movie contains a lot of action this will generate peaks in the video rate. Whether these peaks will cause stuttering by exceeding 768 kbps when using a setting of 750 kbps I don't know and I have not yet seen enough footage to safely recommend 750 kbps. However personally I will be using 750 kbps and report back if I experience any problems.
    Short videos in iTunes Music Store use 622 kbps video rate (Michael Jackson Billie Jean and Bad, Pixar For the Birds). Longer videos used 570 kbps video rate (Michael Jackson Thriller, ABC - Lost).

  • DVD drive won't mount store bought dvd(s)

    Recently, I have been having problems getting my macbook pro to play store bought (brand new) dvds. The two dvds I have had problems with are Taxi Driver, and Cinderella III. I believe both are DL if that matters.
    The drive basically keeps winding up and down and never mounts or plays the media. Both work fine in my stand alone dvd player.
    any suggestions?

    What exact MBP model do you have? My 2.16 Core 2 Duo began having trouble reading certain cds and dvds.
    Long story short, it'll soon have trouble reading everything and you'll have to get it replaced.

  • Can you sync "actual DVD videos" to your ipod Video?

    Does anyone know (perferably iPod video owners) if you could download a DVD onto your computer, either from a DVD to your computer, or from limewire, or kazaa, or something, then sync it to your iPod? if it has to be a certain format, and it is not the correct type, how do you convert it to the right type of format? Thank you anyone who can answer this question.......i am considering to get an iPod Vidoe 30GB and knowing the answer to this question would very much help me make my decision on weather to get it or not...thank you again!!!

    "Does anyone know (perferably iPod video owners) if you could download a DVD onto your computer, either from a DVD to your computer, or from limewire, or kazaa, or something, then sync it to your iPod?"
    yes you can
    "if it has to be a certain format, and it is not the correct type, how do you convert it to the right type of format?"
    ipod plays mov and mp4 files, there are numerous third party software that allow you to convert other video formats to mov or mp4 (Videora being one of the freeware ones). Others can convert movie files directly so you can throw them onto your ipod after converting them.

  • How do you put previously bought software upgrades on replacement ipod?

    Back in July I bought the 2.0 software upgrade for my iPod. Just a few days ago I sent my iPod in for WiFi problems, and just got my replacement today. How do I put the 2.0 software upgrade on this new iPod?

    Hi fraxh,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If you've bought the update from the the iTunes Music Store you should be re-purchase it, that failing click the "restore" button on the iPod Touch summary page, as it may have the update archived, in which case it should re-install.
    Regards,
    Peter.

  • DVD drive won't play brand new store bought DVDs - makes grinding noise

    I just bought my iMac last September and it was going great until the last month or so. First it started making noises when I inserted a new DVD and was slow to start, but it still worked. Then it started taking longer and sometimes rejecting the disc once - I'd re-insert and it'd be fine. Later it started rejecting more than once before it would play and now it seems to have stopped altogether and generally won't play any DVDs. I do watch a lot of movies, but even with a little more than average use it still seems a bit ridiculous that the drive would die or burn out in less than one year, right?? Has anyone else had this issue and/or resolved this issue? I'm new to Macs and haven't had to call the service people before but have heard others say they've had issues with the store service - should I call AppleCare instead? Any suggestions/tips/help would be appreciated. Thx.

    It happens. Just be lucky it's still under warranty and give Apple Care a call.

  • On store-bought DVDs (and others) I can HEAR but not SEE.

    The audio works but the video screen stays black. I have DVD Player 4.0 and 10.3.9. Any ideas how to fix?

    The Apple DVD Player application isn't part of iDVD.
    Why not ask your question in http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=745 for Using Mac OS X 10.3 & earlier
    You'll probably get a better response there.

  • How do you put PDA screen protectors to cover your ipod nan?

    Like how do i apply the pda protector? I havnt gotten the ipod nano yet im just thinking of how i could apply the screen protector.
    Is the film sticky? what keeps it on?
    if anyone could give me step by step instructions thatll be great.
    Thanks:)

    It is a static connection ... all that you need to do is cut the film to the size of the nano and then very carefully place it on the nano. The instructions for the protectors work with then nano. There should be enough space on a single protector for both sides of the nano, but be careful to avoid the area on the protector where there is any printing.
    You must be careful applying the protectors to avoid getting bubbles in it... it may take several attempts. If you cut the protector accurately then it ought to be possible to align the edge (I'd do the long edge) of the protector with the nano and then very carefully glide the protector over the nano and lightly press it down.
    I applied a protector to my nano before doing anything else and have avoided any scratches.
