    I have a problem with converting DVD's, I noticed someone else asked this question but there wasn't an answer I don't believe. The sound in most of the movies I've converted [with PQ DVD to iPod Video] is a little ahead of the actual picture. Could that be my computer's to slow to convert the video at the same pace as the sound? Usually I don't have the problem for the first few segments I convert, but as I get to the fifth or sixth one the audio is a good three seconds off. Very bothersome when trying to watch a speech.

    Thanks for any help you have to offer.

    Dear people
    Im sure this was probably answered earlier in the post, i just feel like looking for it. I was wondering if this conversion works on all Limewire videos. I am getting a 5th gen ipod for the holidays, and I heard online that ipod will not accept videos from limewire that have a copywright, is this true. I want to know because we cant return it if I open the box. Please lemme know as soon as possible.

    DarkJello - Neither myself nor dkmopq have managed to find a solution to the audio lag thing, i'm really sorry. But all I can suggest is that you try using another software.

    Have a look here, buddy.
    http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/14/how-to-convert-a-dvd-for-your-ipod-with-video-in-windows/

    avegadro - Limewire video's will work on the ipod once they are converted appropriately. I have yet to come accross any videos on limewire that have copyright protection, as they rarely do, so you should be fine.

    As for you, nolec5

    [bold]you really think i'm gonna answer to that?? FYO this is not my software, none of it is. I am doing this voluntarily in my freetime.

    You need to work on the way you address people who are helping you out.[/bold]

    I know if you want to drag the files in, you have to drag them into your library window, not the videos one.

    Glad to help....

    Anyway, with the website you suggested as an alternative, which I tried first. I get a warning message ASPI not available, DVDx won't be able to unlock DVD drive to read file bigger than 2GB. (Check for ASPI driver update at www.adaptec.com) Do you want to continue without ASPI?

    Now, I've tried going to the website to find the ASPI (I have no idea what that is to tell you the truth) and I can't recall if I found it there or not. Could you possibly shed some light on this for me? The Xilisoft Video Converter works flawlessly for other files I have converted with it.

    Thanks for the help

    Sorry buddy, but neither myself nor dkmopq have managed to come up with a solution to the synching problem. All I can suggest is swiching programs ~ sorry.

    merry Christmas y'all

    I apologize, it was my understanding that this was your software, which is why I was upset the first time that you ignored my question. Again, I apologize.

    I seem to be missing something. Please advise. I just upgraded to quicktime pro. My objective being able to transfer a movie from a dvd to my new ipod video. Now when I get to the step (on your tutorial) of opening file, I can't seem to find the moviethough it is sitting in my dvd player. Am I supposed to copy it to my computer first even before I try to use quicktime pro and itunes to put it on ipod? if so do I need another program to copy dvd to my hard drive (file). What software do I need?
    Thanks

    You more or less have to use iTunes, but you can put music you've downloaded by other means and put it into iTunes. Not to huge a problem. I like my iPod quite a bit, quality piece of work. If your getting one for the gym I'd suggest a nano since they use flash memory, instead of a harddrive. Hardrives have a tendency to break when there jostled around a bit.

    Hey its me again. I don't know if this helps, but in really big movies, like 2hrs+, I put the frame rate at 27.97. Thats 2 frames less than usual, and it seems to go just fine. Plus it takes less space.
    Oh...And I went to another forum about iPods and they needed help, so I directed them here. Hope you can help the Lethal_B.
