    My best, most simple results from a combo that used 3gp as part of the process but it made a 16:9 into full screen with everything stretched out tall. Any ideas on how to get it to fix that? Most of my movies are wide.

    Currently my best combo for full screen vids is:
    DVD decryptor
    VOB2mpeg
    3gp

    All are free.

    If I can figure out how to get it to work for 16:9 I am in business and can forget about anything else for awhile.

    Cheers.

    I have had similar problems trying to convert videos to IPOD and spent many many hours trying to succeed.
    I edit in Adobe premier and save uncompressed to AVI.
    I found the easiest way to convert to IPOD was to buy Quick Time Pro which has an export to IPOD feature and works everytime. I was confused with it at first because ny Windows PC wont recognise the file it creates, but place it in your Itunes Library and it will transfer and play on the IPOD. I hope this helps it is a very simple process.

    That's all very well, but the quicktime pro route takes way longer than a lot of other products, and a lot longer than it should. I recommend videora if you haven't got time to sit around for half an hour for the sake of a 3 minute video..

    Thanks for that advice i downloaded and installed videora and it completely worked my computer over froze it and it wouldnt reboot or even start in safe mode. After much trying i mangaed to get it to run and after uninstalling videora and system restore I mangaed to get my computer back on line i think i will stick with the Quick time Pro. It will be worth the time it takes.
    Thanks
    Stew

    What do you mean? Do you mean to convert a DVD to something else?

    You need more than just quicktime pro to convert dvds into .mp4 files ready for the iPod.. You need to rip them to your PC with a program like DVD Decryptr first ;-)
