Video (DVD) on to IPods

I am new to the Mac world.
My question is can DVD's be put onto IPods? I live in Canada and I am not able to download movies from I Tunes. So what I would like to do is put the movies I have bought on to the IPod.
Can this be done?

You find it by SEARCHING the forum! Look to the right of the screen you are on now....find "Search Discussions"....click on "more options'....it will bring you to a screen where you can put in your SEARCH parameters, type 'covert DVDs" or 'put video on iPod'...stuff like that....and BINGO, there you go!
On this forum more than any I frequent, the same questions are asked over and over...and I'm not busting on anyone, it's just that some very nice people here have taken the time to answer these question in great depth to teach us all. That's how I learned last year when I got my iPod for Xmas...and now, I think that's why they go unanswered because they have been done 100 times or more! This forum is packed with great info if you just take the time to find it...so grab a cool drink, Grasshopper, and dig in and have some fun....gary

DVD movies to iPod video format

I often travell on official business, I am trying to rip a DVD to my ipod. My friend told me that Sothink ipod- converter can convert DVD movies to IPod video format. I have downloaded and try it,I think the Sothink IPod Video Converter is designed to be an easy company for my IPod.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Transferring DVD movies to iPod w/Video

I bought the new 60g iPod w/video soley because I thought I could transfer and watch DVD movies (the hollywood kind), onto my iPod the same way I did with music... Can anyone tell me how to do this? I have DVD "One Click DVD" burner software on my PC and when I try to import into iTunes it's not recognizing the file. Can anyone help me out with this???!!!
Also, anyone know when they will release a decent case, the one that came with it is pretty lame!

Sorry, Jeff, but commercial video DVDs are copy-protected. Breaking the copy protection is illegal in the US, so discussing ways of doing it are not allowed here (since the US courts have been holding in some cases that even discussing in print such cracking may be illegal). If you're outside the US where such de-encryption is legal (though it's up to you to make sure that your use of the material is legal), search around the net and you'll find places that can provide tools for de-encrypting the files for use.

Trying to update my ipod with videos/dvds

I have been on the internet looking for ways to put my dvds onto my ipod video.
I have managed to convert my a movie to mp4 format, and put it on my itunes, where it successfully plays.
However when I try to get the movie from itunes to my ipod video it doesn't update the movie.
In itunes, the movie appears in the video folder. When i right click the movie, "get info", "summary", it says "last played : not available"
I know it is possible to put dvds onto your ipod as a friend has successfully done it.
Please can you help
Thanks
James

Try playing the movie in iTunes then updating the iPod sometimes this works. You can also try reinstalling iTunes and doing Apple's 5R's heres the link

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.

THE SIMPLEST WAY TO GET A DVD MOVIE IN IPOD VIDEO IN 2-3 HRS

I just got the Ipod video and got Quick time 7pro and everything but it is not the right software to play a DVD or get a dvd movie into ipod. So i tell you exactly what to do: go to carrydvd.com, find the version for use on symbian and psp. download it to test it or buy it to be able to convert a whole dvd movie. When you have the software ready you just put the DVD in, on the screen go where it says select video quality: PSP (MP4) Hi quality. go to screen size select 320X240 (PSP, PALM OR WINCE) PRESS PLAY BUTTON AND IT WILL COMPRESS. WHEN FINISH YOU GO TO ITUNES AND IN FILE GO TO ADD FILE TO LIBRARY, LOCATE THE MOVIE YOU JUST COMPRESSED AND ADD IT TO THE LIBRARY, THEN CONNECT THE IPOD AND JUST PUT THE MOVIE FROM THE LIBRARY TO THE IPOD AND IS READY. I JUST GOT IN MY IPOD TROY WITH THE QUALITY OF A BOUGHT VIDEO OF ITUNES MUSIC STORE.

Problem transferring video from iTunes to iPod

I can't transfer video from iTunes to iPod. DVD movies converted to MP4 using Cucusoft software and a TV show purchased from iTunes Music Store won't transfer. The only video that has tranferred successfully is a video podcast called "Tiki Bar". It did ok.
60GB iPod with click wheel Windows XP Pro

Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
Also, try playing the video you purchased from the iTunes Music Store for a few seconds on your computer.

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

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.

HT203180 VIDEO NOT SHOWING ON IPOD TOUCH HELP ME!!!!!!

Yesterday I decided to download some DVDs onto my ipod touch, newest generation if that helps. So i bought a DVD - itunes converter from mac app store and it converted the DVDs for me. I could see them on my itunes but when I tried to put them on my ipod a little message came up saying 'this video is not suitable for your ipod' or something like that. It turned out It had been programmed to play on an ipad. So I re-downloaded the movie, clicking the box that said 'ipod touch' and it worked, fine, I could see it in my itunes. HOWEVER when I dragged the movie onto my device no message came up this time but it isn't showing on my ipod!!! I can'y sync it because its my whole familys and has about a billion of my dads songs and about 100 'learn the alphabet' apps for my little brother. It would take me so long to delete everything.
I really hope you can help, because I am going on a 12 hour journey tommorow and I need to entertain myself in the car.
Thanks p.s think its ios 6 but could be 6.1 or 6.2

Hi Eliecer,
Does the movie show up on a music video playlist, under Music? You can highlight the video in iTunes and choose Get Info, from the File menu, to change or view the video Kind.
Was the movie purchased from the iTunes Store?
Try resetting the iPod touch by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
If the issue persists, restore the iPod as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
