The easiest way... DVD's to iPod w/ Windows

If anyone has been having a confusion lately with how to convert DVD's to the iPod, then they should really try this, it's time consuming, but it is extremely user-friendly. Also, it's mostly automatic, just need to make some coffee and wait an hour or so.
First, find DVD decrypter... (it's dificult to find because it was recently pulled)... and install it.
try http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/SetupDVDDecrypter_3.5.4.0.exe
that is where I found it to work last, I will try making a mirror.
Now run dvd decrypter, and go to MODE at the top, and then ISO, and click on READ... this will make an ISO of your dvd, and it will be unprotected so you can convert it. Next use a ISO mounting tool, like Alcohol 52%... (http://trial.alcohol-soft.com/en/)
Using alcohol 120%, open it, and drag the ISO file made by DVD decryter into the window, now drag it to the desired virtual drive in the borrom half of the alcohol panel.
now it will show up as a dvd drive in my computer... it is exactly the same as the original DVD, except that it is unprotected. Now use Quicktime, or pick your own DVD to iPod converter. I use InterVideo's iVideo2Go, but I am not sure they have a trial version, so do some research, maybe there are some more cheap software out there, but that's always been the easy part...
So using iVideoToGo, choose your source as the mounted virtual drive, set your taget as wherever you want, Copy as Apple iPod, then click on the hammer icon and choose any profile you want, the higher the frequency the better audio you get, and the lower, the smaller the file. now choose *split by chapters. (you can choose to put the whole movie into one file, but with my example movie, The Matrix, every chapter had a higher lag in video/audio synch, so you'd hear it a few seconds before it happened. Click ok, now click on Main Movie, and then click the icon in the bottom right-hand corner. once it's finished, open iTunes, click add folder and add the folder of the movie files you just made, now use the SHIFT select all of the video files, then drag to the iPod icon on the left.
That's it, just like manually managing your music files...

oh, and if you have abesolutely no money, whatsoever, feel free to email me... [email protected] for...ummm... financial aid*.;)

    If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to try and restore it, it's a very good indication, as mentioned in the article, that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and in need of replacement either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on PC or DVD player using MacBook Pro?

    What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on a PC or DVD player?  I'm using a MacBook Pro since that's the computer that has all the photos (in an album) and music.  Thanks.

    I would suggest that you post this to the Adobe Encore>Menus & Buttons forum. What you want to do, if I read correctly, is pretty simple. There will probalby be links available to step you though it. I'll look for this there, and start gathering some links.
    Good luck,

  • What is the easiest way to burn data from a ext HD to an ext DVD drive?

    I have a Maxtor Touch III with 2 partitions on it. I want to wipe the 2nd partition clean but it has data on it. I just bought a Plextor External DVD-DL drive. So what would be the easiest way to burn the discs? There is about 40Gb worth of data to burn and I have all kinds of backup utilities, (Retrospect Express, Intego's backup, etc....I will admit I am not well versed at using Retrospect, in fact the only way I know how to backup is by doing a Duplicate Backup. So what do you think?

    I personally use Roxio's Toast 7 for all my burning needs, and it's the finest so far (also used DiscBlaze in the past). Click the "DATA" tab, and add whatever files you want to burn, that's it.
    You mentioned you just bought a Plextor external DVD drive, is it the Plextor 716UF (USB/Firewire)? That's the same one i have and it's fantastic.

  • What's The Easiest Way To Un-Disable My iPod.?

    What is the easiest way to un-disable my iPod without having to download iTunes?

    If you were using iCloud, you can remotely wipe it, provided your iPod is in range of a known Wifi you have previously connected to (therefore giving it internet access).  Other than that, you will need a computer and the ability to download iTunes to restore it.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    Use Find My iPhone
    If you enabled Find My iPhone, you can use it to erase your device.
    Go to icloud.com/#find to see if you enabled Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices at the top of your browser window.
    Select your device and click "Erase [device]" to erase your device and its passcode.
    Use the Setup Assistant on your device to restore the most recent backup of your device.
    Use recovery mode
    Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
    Disconnect all cables from your device.
    Turn off your device.
    Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
    Click OK, then restore the device.

  • HT1338 My Mac Book Pro is currently runnng OS X v10.5.8. When I check for updates by clicking the apple icon it tells me that my computer is up to date.  What is the easiest way to upgrade to OS X Lion?  Do I need to get OS X Snow Leopard first?

    My Mac Book Pro is currently runnng OS X v10.5.8. When I check for updates by clicking the apple icon it tells me that my computer is up to date.  What is the easiest way to upgrade to OS X Lion?  Do I need to get OS X Snow Leopard first?

    Yes, there's been no updates to 10.5.8 for quite awhile, next is paid Upgrades.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory, I say 6 GB
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, I say 50 GB.
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

  • What is the easiest way to upgrade from OS X 10.4.11 to 10.5 Leopard

    what is the easiest way to upgrade from OS X 10.4.11 to 10.5 Leopard

    You should consider this:
    Here are the minimum specs your Mac will need to run Leopard, according to Apple:
    Intel, G5, or 867MHz+ G4 processor
    512 megs of RAM MINIMUM (though if you only have 512 megs of RAM you may actually find you need more.)
    DVD drive (Leopard is shipping on a DVD, and your Mac needs to read it to be able to install it)
    9GB of free disk space
    Hope this helps

  • What is the best way to manage multiple ipods using the same itunes?

    Hi Everyone
    i am trying to manage three different ipods through the one Itunes, all with very different tastes, not sure if I am doing it the best or easiest way so does anybody have a simple solution on what you're supposed to do, to keep it all simple!
    Cheers
    Liv

    If you have created a new Windows user account you need to log out and then log back in with your original user name. By default each Windows profile will have an independent iTunes library.
    If instead you managed to create a new library within the same profile. click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key, keep holding until asked to create or choose a library. Click Choose and navigte back to your original which should be at <User's Music>\iTunes.
    Your question as posed was:
    What is the best way to manage multiple iPods using the same iTunes {library}?
    in which case Selected Playlists is probably the best approach. Simply create a playlist for each device, Alice's iPod, Bob's iPhone etc. and sync the device with the appropriate list.

  • HT1329 I just downloaded iTunes to a new computer.  It's been a while since I used iTunes on my old computer.  I don't see any of my playlists on the new computer.  What is the easiest way to transfer my playlists without having to recreate each one?

    I just downloaded iTunes to a new computer.  It's been a while since I used iTunes on my old computer, so the new one has a totally different user interface.  I signed on to my account and saw my music but I have no playlists on the new computer.  What's the easiest way to replicate or restore my playlists as I had them in the old computer and in my iPod?

    OK, thanks for the response.  I'm copying it onto a memory stick to transfer it to the new computer.  Still have two questions:
    1. Since there is already an iTunes folder on the new computer, created when iTunes was downloaded, where exactly do I copy the old folder onto the computer so that iTunes can find it?  In the old interface, there used to be a field where one could designate the path to find music and I don't see that in the new interface.
    Assuming the above takes care of putting my playlists onto the new computer...
    2.  How do I add music that is currently stored in a back up file but was not on my old computer's drive?  I'm worried that I would have to add these one by one somehow, and there are a lot of songs.
    Thanks again.

  • What is the easiest way to backup my iPhoto Library?

    I have a lot of photos in my iphoto library (over 4,000) and I think it's time to back them up onto a DVD (I can't remember how many photos fit on a CD, but I'm pretty sure I will need to burn it to a DVD). What is the easiest way to do it?

    Shannon:
    Besides backing up your entire library folder I recommend you make a backjup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file that's in the iPhoto Library folder. It contains all the information, albums, keywords, comments, etc. for the library and if it gets damaged the library is lost. Not your photos but just all the organization that the iPhoto imparted to the photos. So if you make a backup after every import and after you've done a lot of organizational effort like books, keywords, slideshows, etc., you'll be able to get back to that state if there's a damaged file. The damaged file can occur by a sudden shutdown, bad software update of some sorts.

  • Pusblish Abode Connect meeting records (.flv) over Adobe Media Server - What is the easiest way?

    Hi,
    my name is Robin Schröder. I am a member of the univertity “Hochschule Hamm Lippstadt” from Germany.
    We r using the adobe connect already. We wanna create offline videos of meeting records and publish them over adobe media server. The offline videos are in the .flv format.
    Do I have to convert the .flv into mp4 (h264 & AAC) before streamable with hds and hls?
    I read about f4fpackager that this program can convert .flv into .f4m – but it failed with error 999….. I checked the .flv file with flvcheck before: success!
    The sample Video worked fine.
    So my question:
    We wanna publish all .flv recordings over the Adobe Media Server (VODs). What is the easiest way to achieve this?
    Convert .flv in a streaming format (mp4?) - HOW?
    Create multi-bitrate versions from the video - HOW?
    Create f4m file for adaptive bitrate streaming - manually?
    Publish hds & hls URL in the html site (decryption for url possible?)How can I realize a iPad/iPod/iPhone switch in the html Code for HLS/HDS switch?
    Thanks!

    Hi,

  • What would be the easiest way to do this?

    Alright, I'm getting an iPod Touch for Christmas. I started preparing my iTunes Library already, but I ran into a slight problem. See, all of my music is on my old computer, which I still use, but the USB port is broke. So I am going to need to sync my iPod on my new computer.
    So my question is: What would be the easiest way to transfer my whole Library to my new Computer so that I could sync?

    This article in the Apple Knowledge Base outlines the main options for transferring files from one computer to another.
    Decide which one is best for your circumstances and post back if you need any clarification.
