How To Copy DVDs to iPod using free software for Windows

To take existing DVDs that you have around the house and put them onto iPod:

You'll need two programs, DVD Decrypter and Videora iPod Converter.

Now, use this step by step tutorial for converting DVDs with DVD Decrypter. Note: Once you reach the part about PSP Video 9, stop watching and use the 'One Click Transcode' option in Videora to select and convert the VOB file that DVD Decrypter produces.

Once you have a converted file, add it to iTunes in the same way as music (drag it into the iTunes library) and it will automatically copy across to your iPod.

btw jamie 314- don't know if this problem has been addressed but this forum is sooo long...

i enter the files into videora and it says "starting job please wait" for literally horus and it never starts it. i also have the problem where it goes thru in like 2 seconds and actually doesn't do anything. i see the second problem addressed, so i would really appreciate help on the first one

Jamie, can you use dvd shrink instead of dvd decripter? is there any featers that it can do that dvd shrink can't?
And is there a way to decript dvd in one file using only videora?

i have a problem and if anyone could help me it would mean a great deal to me.
I'm using the DVD Decryptor and converting a DVD file right now but the problem is the results are weird. When I open the destination of where the file should be i find about 10-15 files all of containing the same VTS_01 or something and some of them are in VOB format while others are in IFO format and theres one text document called stream information....
is that normal or am i doing something wrong? And if it is normal, would i convert each file seperatly on the videora ipod converter?
thnx for the help
