DVD to IPOD

I'd like to take one of my DVD movies and burn it onto my laptop, then convert it to MP4 to put on my ipod. Can someone point me to a guide or something to show me how to do this? Here is the software I currently have:

DVD Shrink
DVDFab Decrypter
Videora Ipod Converter

 

take a look at tihs forum step by step guide using cucosoft http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/297023 , it can convert dvds directly to ipod and works great for lots of people.

 

All you need is AnyDVD or DVDFab HD Decrypter and Handbrake

I just recently bought Xilisoft DVD to iPod Suite and it is a lot faster then handbrake it costs $29 dollars but if you are looking for a good free program Handbrake is the way to go.

 

Ok...so I have a problem... Every time that I try to use this Cucusoft DVD to iPod Converter program, everything goes well until I try to finally start to convert the movie.

I follow all of the directions and such and do all that I am suppose to, but for some reason right at the begining of the movie where I tell the program to start to convert it always runs for about 4 seconds...and then encounters an error and closes the application.=O

I thought it was maybe the mistake that was talked about, so I downloaded the DivX Player and codec just incase to see if it worked then...but still nothing, just the same problem.

Has anyone else had this problem? What should I do? How can I fix this and finally...jsut start watching videos on my iPod =(

 

are you using the latest version?? restart your pc and try it again see if it works.

 

TRy using the free super converter.

I use SPAM.

 

If your on a mac use Handbrake...very simple to use...it might be for windows as well.

 

ok...well..I tried using that new program that you used in your initials...and yup..you guessed it..
No Good =(

What am I going to do...I feel like I am never going to get this ipod video working to play videos!!!

Anyway, does anyone know of another step by step guide that can help me out with my problem?

Where can I get Handbreak? and what is it?
Is it an all in one program??

This guide is about cucusoft converter and it is fast, great!

 

can anybody tell me if the handbrake is ready for windows cos my mums boss tells me about it and it doesnt say anything about downloading it to windows

 

It has a windows gui on the front page of the site http://www.handbrake.m0k.org, you do need a program like anydvd, dvd43, or DVDFab Decrypter to remove the DVD copy protection though

 

but does handbrake convert dvd straight to mp4 movie cos it dont work on my computer

 

handbrake is dvd to mp4 if you are having trouble using handbrake because of ram extract the msi file to a folder then you can run handbrake on almost any machine google "LessMSierables"

 

Thanks for the tip. What about software to convert movie files to DVD format? I'd like to burn some of my movie files to DVD.

 

I would check out a program called finalburner it is free at http://www.download.com/3000-20-10598257.html

 

yep, i downloaded from their and it works great.
