Convert movies to Ipod
Posted: Jun 12, 2006 10:09 AM
 

Hi,

I used handbreak, default setting to rip the movie, and Isquint, High Quality setting, the entire process took over 6 hours, is that normal? The movie was over 2 hours and I'm useing a Powerbook G4 1.67, if that helps

Anyone using other Apps which are faster.

Thanks

I've used Handbrake to rip a 2hr movie to iPod format and it took me about 6 hours also.

You might also try a program called DVD2Pod. It might run a little bit faster.

i use clone dvd mobile to converte dvds for the iPod, its very simple and takes about 15minutes to converte.

and image converter 2 is great to converte your wmv, avi, mpg files ... to mp4 in a few minutes.

Helpful

You are using an old chip, the G4.
Any trancoding of video is very chip/system intensive, add to this you are breaking the encryption off of a DVD as it is read. Also, with high quality settings, you are probably doing 2 pass encoding, this doubles the time.

Handbrake converts a 2 hour movie on my system in about 2.5 to 3 hours.

It is never going to be a very fast process.

Also of interest-the site referenced above to download clone dvd mobile is a pirate site.

The clonedvd software is commercial software.
Don't steal!
