DVD to Ipod question

[Yorkshire-Seagull]

Might be a simple question, but is there any way I can convert my DVDs into MP4 format so I can watch them on my Ipod?

Cheers

Do a Google search, plenty of downloadable software that does the job. Might have to pay to get a decent one though

Yes, its very easy.

You just need a piece of software like this

OK having downloaded this to a mac how do you get the program to run ?

 

[Sergei Gotsmanov]

Have never used it with a MAC only a PC....having had a quick read it doesn't look like it is MAC compatible. You'll need to have a look for a similar programme for MACs. quick trawl through a forum has uncovered this one for MACs but have never used it.

The one I use is videora. It's spot on. And it's free.

It's soley designed for this, the only drawback being the time it takes.

For example, a 3.5 gig film takes about 7 hours. ( just do it overnight )

Try this:

HandBrake

Free. Cracking quality and easy to use.

Yep, handbrake is the one for mac users.

If you are converting from a copy-protected DVD, you can first use Mac The Ripper to copy the DVD to your hard drive while simultaneously removing Macrovision protection. Then run Handbrake to convert DVD to the ipod-friendly mp4 format.

videora - best for pc

Be warned that whatever method you use, you can experience issues with the dubbing. About 1 in 3 of my converts had the dialogue about a second or so out of tune with the video.
